This place deserves 5.0 rating. Decor of the pub and dining area is absolutely beautiful. Outside sitting is rather lovely too with mixture of benches and comfy soft garden sofas. Staff polite and helpful. The food was absolutely AMAZING! It is a shame that I have no pictures of my dishes because the presentation was superb. Not to mention that flavours were balanced just right. I recommend this establishment very highly.

Roughly half the tables were occupied inside and outside yet was told that "the kitchen was overloaded" so only way to get food was if it was prebooked. Place looks pretty decent and was really looking forward to grab a bite but was very disappointed with the bar manager who insisted that only drinks were an option. I wouldn't mind waiting longer and I was also prepared to order just something simple that wouldn't strain the kitchen but the manager was not interested. Whoever owns the place should consider some financial incentives for staff to step up when a bit more busy and get a manager who

Beautiful stylish pub, excellent food - really enjoyed the sardines as a starter and Hampshire Lamb for mains, it was perfectly cooked and had great flavours. Profiteroles were fantastic!
There were only two ales to choose from, but both really good ales.
Service very friendly, polite and helpful. Really enjoyed my time and dinner in this pub.

While staying at a nearby hotel, this pub became our 'local', and after popping in to check out the menu, I knew we had to pay it a proper visit.
From looking at photos of past reviews, and then chatting to the owner (?) and staff, it is apparent that this pub has recently undergone a renovation, and now looks gorgeous.
I was told the menu changes monthly (or so), and the specials menu weekly, so if you have any specific dietary requirements, I'd suggest calling them first.
They don't have a kids menu (or provide any pencils etc), but instead serve smaller portions of the regular menu for your
