It's really disappointing to leave such a poor review but I can only rate it on the experience we had. We were booked in for 4:30 so arrived at 4:20. The service was clearly strained due to being so busy - however, they only have around 8/10 tables for food so hard to understand why they can't cope. The starter was fantastic, mushroom soup was really tasty but we waited too long for it. Then we waited nearly an hour more for the main - by 6:05 we'd only had the starter which given our booking was for 4:30 is poor to say the least. However, looking at the food which was coming out, we thought it would be worth the wait. Home made Yorkshire's, nice looking roast potatoes, the whole thing looked amazing. What we received was completely different. Clearly we'd received the dreg ends. We received 1 roast potato per dinner, a tiny portion of mashed potato, 1 tiny frozen Yorkshire pudding and a huge portion of stuffing. Personally I went for the roast pork with crackling but received no crackling and the pork was pure fat (literally). They did provide me with a lot of chicken as a backup for this. To receive such small portions of the main ingredients of a roast is unacceptable in my opinion. I have to say, what we did have was very tasty which adds to the disappointment really. The staff were pleasant, the main lady in charge was a delight and very friendly, the place has a nice atmosphere. They just let themselves down badly. The way it was handled was the main disappointment. They should have just been honest and said they'd run out of food and we'd have accepted their honesty and known what to expect. To make us wait nearly two hours for half a main course is again, very poor. The whole experience was ruined. We were offered a round of drinks off the bill which I refused out of sheer frustration, annoyance and not wanting to accept an empty gesture at the end. Such a shame as we thought we'd found a local place we could visit time and time again. Sadly not.

Great pub! Went for Sunday lunch and although they were fully booked they have plenty of space to sit and you can still order a roast in a box. Also tried a pizza from the wood fired oven which was also great. They pour a good guineas too. Huge amount of outside seating with some unique pods.

Great Place, been going for years on a regular meet up and live music fridays. Great sofas at the rear under the tents. Great Place

Brilliant pub with the best beer garden I've ever been in. Only downside is they weren't serving food. No lunch Monday to Thursday

We came at 12, so quiet. Food is top end and really reasonably price. Lovely place, and staff are super friendly, everyone should try this place out. Can't recommend enough. The outside area is large with alot of benchers.
