About Report

My journey started when I was 18, helping out a friend in their caf, which lead me to discover my love for cooking and enrolling in college to study catering. Upon graduating from college, myself and my now wife, headed to Val d'lsere to work in a 5* ski chalet. This allowed me to cook 5-star quality food for a variety of guests while enjoying the snow resort surroundings.

Met up with family for a pre-Christmas lunch at this fantastic country pub. Lovely atmosphere, superb service and great food that was all cooked to order. This is the pub you want on your doorstep.

Nice country pub with good parking and garden. Wide selection of beers and ciders. Reasonable priced mains which are huge and good quality which counteracted 3 calamari rings starter. I had the steak and ale suet pudding, very well stuffed with meat, onion and gravy. My friend had a good burger and chips. Good place to go for a country walk before or after your meal.

Great choices of Sunday roasts. The venison was delicious. The service was friendly and quick, where you can tell the owner takes great pride in the place. Dog friendly and on the weekends there's a park next to it where you can run them around.

Popped to break up a long journey. Good choice of beer and tasty imaginative food served in a homely country style pub by friendly efficient staff. Everything you'd want really.

Low wooden beams, fireplace, great ales, very good food (about £13 for a main), free wifi, clean loos and beer garden including a covered area. But best of all for people with kids, it is adjacent to a common with good play equipment that pleased my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children. A perfect stop to break up a journey on the M4.

Great vegan options. Well cooked food. Friendly. Nice wine list. Cosy fire. Our only advice--votive candles on each table (even for lunch). A cheap way to add a bit more ambiance! A perfect stop off from the M4!
