Fabulous. Visited for the Indian meal and it was amazing. Best meal I've had in a long time.... It was so good, I didn't take a photo. Too busy eating. Lovely pub.

Ordered a takeaway for four. Ready on time. Food was delicious and well proportioned. The Dansak I had was delicious as was the Fish Korai and naan breads.

Lovely little pub, v nice vibe and good curry but the main attraction is definitely the real ale. The landlord deserves some sort of award or recognition for keeping it so well. Every pint I've ever had in there is perfectly fresh and clear, like some ambrosial nectar of the gods. This is what beer tastes like in heaven, I'm sure. If you're passing, worth stopping off just to have a taste!

Amazing little spot in Avening. One of just a couple options around if you’re without a car but definitely worth a visit. The Curries were some of the best I’ve had and the bar staff as well as the locals were quite friendly. We came to watch the England/Scotland Euro match and they just scooted over to make space for us. Oddly enough one of the cleanest and overall nicest ladies toilets! 🚽

Super friendly owner and patrons, well priced and well kept beer. I visited during the pandemic and the place was spotless with hand sanitiser provided everywhere. Highly recommend a visit as there's also an Indian restaurant inside so you can have a pint and a curry at the same time.

What a great idea - a curry house in a village pub. Seems weird, right? I was dubious, admittedly- but I’m so glad we made the effort to check it out after it was recommended by a friend. Amazing place! Really nice atmosphere, great food, destined to be a regular now 👍👍👍
