Excellent food, friendly service (when it was available as we did have to keep asking for attention at each stage). The chef knows what he is doing and serving some great dishes.

Popped in here by chance for a quick lunch after shopping at the Cash and Carry as the pub I had to planned to go to was closed. As a fellow business owner I can be sceptical when it comes to food but I have to say everything about this pub is spot on. The service is polite and professional and the food is simply delicious. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection.

Great little inn in the middle of nowhere. Converted barn was cosy and staff friendly and hospitable. Food and drink good and no outside noise apart from the odd horse. Lovely place.

A warm, welcoming countryside pub. The food was great and the staff is very attentive. There is also a good selection of wine. The pub is dog friendly and has a very nice outdoor space with a wood fire pizza oven as well. Highly recommended.

Not too good. No social distancing. Staff friendly. My lamb rump was tough with a lot of fat. Told a member of the waiting staff about the fat. No response. My husband's meal was very nice. But our main concern was the lack of social distancing and we went early arrived at about 6.15.
