We were welcomed by a very friendly and organised team even though they had a very busy day. We had the roast pork belly and roast butternut squash both were delicious. The scotch eggs are amazing. Very nice country pub with a large garden and is child and dog friendly. We will be back.
We came for a meal for my birthday. The food was amazing. We didn’t have to wait long and was nice and hot. My children loved the play area in the garden it was great for them. The manage Mike and his staff were really friendly and catered for all our needs. Such a lovely cosy pub with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
It used to be a great place, but the new management has introduced a more basic menu and the whole team behind the bar seems to be completely inexperienced. When I called them on Friday to reserve a table for today, they called me back after 10 minutes because they forgot if my reservation was for Saturday or Sunday. As I got in today, it turned out that my table was used by someone else just because he had the same first name as me although he booked for 12:30 while I booked for 1:30pm. Service was extremely slow and I went twice to collect drinks at the bar for me, my wife and a friend. Food is average, as in “just right” or “not bad”, but weirdly sized. Starters might seem expensive but they’re actually larger than expected. OTOH mains are indeed slightly overpriced given their size. In the end the bill was allocated to the wrong table number although the dishes were correct but the drinks were missing. I told them, they came back a bit later and still a couple of drinks were missing. They told us that they were on the house, and for this they deserve 2 stars for service instead of a single star. It feels like the entire new team working there, with the exception of the people in the kitchen, has never worked in a pub or restaurant before, they’re very nice but somewhere between naive and clueless. I’m pretty sure I’ll come here again given its nice garden and the adjacent playground for my son, hopefully they will have learned their trade by then.
We had a lovely lunch here today in the sunshine - the playground and location continue to be fab but the new ownership showed in the great food and attentive staff. Although we were right at the end of the garden by the playground we were well looked after by the waiting staff and we got out food and drinks quickly. The roasts were fresh and delicious! Good to see it busy too!
Lovely service and really fresh beer. The food is over priced and whilst perfectly edible, not much more. The home made cherry crumble was a gelatinous sugary something with a topping of over baked granola. Sorry, because the staff were lovely.
