Really lovely pub. We had a large group of us there for a meal, great welcome, fantastic service and food was excellent. Thank you.
What an amazing pub Louise and team have. I am a regular diner and never been disappointed. 4 of us had lunch today ( Christmas Eve ) and was as usual to a very high standard. Thank you all and will see you in the new year.
Absoloutely amazing pub, Louise and the team can't do enough to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Children and dogs welcome and also made to feel welcome, which is not always the case. The food has always been delicious and a specials that always mixes it up. Quiz nights are always fun and Louise alway has something happening thats for everyone.
Everything was top notch - we had Sunday dinner (7 adults, 1 child and 2 babies in a double pushchair). We booked in advance. The food was served quickly as were the drinks. We had beef, turkey and the veg pie all were amazing with GOOD portions! We all visited on the Friday night we’re we ate and enjoyed the local ales. There was a £1 wheel of surprises and all the staff got involved.
Very pleasant. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere. I’m a real fan. There were three hand pumps, but only one beer (Corby Blonde) was available. I gather this isn’t typical, but was still a bit disappointing for a Saturday night. Overall it’s great to see a village pub so busy. The food looked good, although I wasn’t there to eat. I’m semi regular and I’ll definitely be back.
