Lovely and imaginative food fairly priced. Despite being a Tuesday evening, it was very busy and the staff woked very hard. We enjoyed our evening there.

Poor choice of lunch menus. Chilli on top of pineapple was not listed on the menu and my brother in law is allergic to it so wasn't happy. No apologies given. Will not be returning.

Lovely food. The live music was too loud. We didn’t know there was live music when we booked to eat here. It would have been nice background music if it hadn’t been so loud. We left as soon as we had eaten.

Lovely food, nice ambience, nothing too much trouble for James and his staff. Starters of pigeon and chanterelles were wonderful, as were the steak and beef short rib mains. Sweets tremendous too! Really enjoyed it and will be back!

Blew us away! The starters in particular were an incredible surprise and out of this world. Cannot recommend enough. We will be revisiting regularly especially as it's only down the road!

Excellant night, good food. There was a large very noisy shooting party in but they added to the friendly atmosphere. The staff were particularly good, very friendly, helpful plus, despite the bar being busy, always remembered our exact drinks order refills.

Fantastic food ! A family run business who care about food & more importantly care about the quality of produce they bring in. A good sign of a good pub is when the landlords own wife & kids are also eating in the restaurant. The menu is mainly game which is locally sourced by a local gamekeeper, (so not for Vegans) but saying that, my friend was a Vegan, I phoned earlier to explained their is a Vegan coming for a meal, they were very accommodating & prepared a beautiful meal. If you are a Vegan & have an issue with others eating meat in front of you, this is not the place for you. I do not eat much meat myself as supermarket produce is poor quality & mass produced, but when eating out after a 17 mile hike & local Game is on the menu I go for it ! It’s good quality local produce that’s honest. To the Vegan who gave a damning review....... 1. If you had checked the website menu before arriving you could of then called to ask if they could arrange a Vegan meal or if that does not suit you, put your Vegan walking boots back on as their are plenty of places to eat that will cater to your requirements. These country pubs struggle to survive, we should support them, especially when they go to so much trouble to care about the quality of food they serve to hikers passing by & the local community. 2. what’s wrong with venison burgers for kids, better for their health than a Mcdonalds ?! 3. The name says it all, SUTTON GAMEKEEPER ! Get over it ! It’s a great Pub !

Fabulous food. Will definitely return. Very hard to chose from the great menu.... I had the most delicious scallops, followed by beautiful medium rare beef, and managed to squeeze in some rhubarb ice-cream. 😍

My friend and I really enjoyed it. She is vegie and it would have been good to have more vegetatian options. The only thing suitable on the menu was not available but upon asking, she was offered an alternative. The turkey I ordered was succulent and well cooked - as were the accompanying vegetables. Very nice staff. This is my "local" and I am pleased it is on my doorstep!

The food here is amazing, quality produce cooked to perfection. It's not average pub grub, the menu has obviously been properly thought out and uses seasonal ingredients. Cosy inviting interior, excellent service and friendly staff, can't fault it.

Fab food , good atmosphere . Not been before Friday last and so delighted went the following Wednesday. If the car park is full , there is a road opposite . James the landlord really knows his game. Venison and Guinness pie is sublime as is wild duck and the fish. A hidden gem - really cosy rural pub but really high quality and reasonably priced food, gin, beer and wine

Sister down from Yorkshire for flying visit, used to fine dining in God's own county - so had to be the best! Loved the atmosphere and cool décor, impressed by the range of choice on the menu. Excellent food and wine, made our evening. Such a friendly and relaxed occasion. Thanks.
