We revisited the Elm Tree after we were unimpressed with it about 5 years ago. The pub is attractive and the bar area is particularly snug, with a woodburner (open fire in the restaurant area). Decent selection of ales and the wine was "a lot better than most pubs". However, we were bemused by being told that they didn't serve food in one bar area (where dogs are allowed) but didn't allow dogs in the other bar area (where food was served). We would have eaten but we had the dog with us. Seems strange, and so I wouldn't really describe it as 'dog friendly'. Contrary to some reviews, we found the staff friendly.

We popped in for Saturday lunch after a walk and were so impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. The seafood medley was the kind of dish you’d find in a nice restaurant or on a tropical island. The leek and potato pie was absolutely delicious and came with a large portion of fries and side plate of 4 seasonal vegetables. The staff were very keen to check everything was ok and were very friendly. Definitely somewhere we will come back to, so refreshing to find a pub which isn’t part of a chain!

So pleased we stopped here, were just driving past and fancied lunch. Went inside and it's very cosy with nice fairy lights everywhere & lamps on, definitely my type of atmosphere, staff really welcoming, got a nice table, service was great, had 2 steak & Stilton pies,chips & veg, 2 pints of shandy, food was realy tasty, piping hot, plenty of choice as well, didn't have space for a desert which I was gutted about as had loads of my favourites. Would love to come here again if in the area and would highly recommend, thankyou Elm Tree, Adam & David xx

My parents visited this pub today and have asked me to help them write this review (they never write reviews). They feel on this occasion it is necessary. They ordered a Macaroni Cheese (which was lovely) and a chicken and pork roast dinner. My Father struggled to cut the meat, both chicken and pork as it was incredibly dry and hard. They raised this with the waitress (who was very polite) who said she’d bring something else. The next moment - a woman introduced herself to my parents (as the proprietor) and was incredibly rude. She suggested that the meat had to be cooked to a certain temperature due to health and safety and disregarded the fact that the meat was hard, dry and tough. She suggested that she should have given my Father a sharper knife. She continued to be rude when serving another meal to my Father saying sarcastically “I hope you enjoy this”. Her attitude completely ruined their lunch. My parents don’t deserve this horrible experience. They wouldn’t recommend this pub to anyone; definitely one to avoid! The waitress, however was lovely and very polite.
