Lovely pub. We stopped in for a quick drink and I was very happy to find out that they have Old Peculiar on hand pull. The log fire was on which made it a very warm and cosy stop, we didn't want to leave. Very nice pint, we are going to visit again for food as it looked delicious.
Came as a large group with a fair few kids and the staff could not have been more helpful. Our meals were preordered and were ready for when we arrived so didn't need to sit around waiting for food. Drink speed was quick. All the staff were lovely and the place has a great atmosphere. If anything it was a bit too comfortable with the lovely fires lit and I could have taken a nap after the great serving sizes of food.
Very cosy and country style pub, friendly staff and food was delicious! Proper home made comfort food. I had mince and dumplings, portions were generous too. We stayed in The Old Mill nearby and it's literally a 2 minute walk to the pub which was very handy! Would definitely return.
Enjoyed a Sunday lunch here with a very good friend. The food was lovely, just the right amount, nice and hot & very tasty. The beef wasn't tough and fatty, which was good. Also made room for a pudding which was also very nice. The staff were very friendly and attentive which was excellent as the place was very busy. No doubts, we will be back
Absolutely wonderful meal here 😋 There were three of us, myself and some friends visiting from Sheffield. They asked me to choose somewhere nice for a meal, so naturally I booked a table here. Mr G was a happy chappy with his pint of Old Peculiar! For mains we had the Chicken Jo Jo, and Mince and Dumplings. Both were lovely, home cooked, fresh and very yummy😋. Mrs G commented how nice it was to have a choice of fresh vegetables with chips rather than just a " few salad bits".... Also... THOSE CHIPS! Hand made, well browned and fluffy inside. Banging. Pudding. Well worth coming for the Biscoff Cheesecake alone! Overall, fantastic service, super friendly staff who were attentive; but not overbearing, great food and great value too. 1pint, 2 soft drinks, 3 mains and 3 desserts for less than £75!
