We arrived early as our walk had to be cut short due to weather and mud, and we had an extra person with us. Immediately the staff were solution-focused, helpful and welcoming. They went out of their way to to find room and welcome us. The service was excellent and only surpassed by the food!! I would so recommend this place - but it is worth booking. thank you all for a wonderful sunday lunch!!

We have been twice for "traditional" Sunday lunch. Really good quality ingredients cooked well. Service very good even if at times a little hurried due to the popularity of this well run restaurant.

We really enjoyed our lunch at this cosy country pub. The service was good and the food was very nice. The only downside is that the pub looks a little tired from the outside. It’s lovely inside however.

Best Sunday roast dinner we’ve had for a long time. Everything was cooked beautifully. Tasted delicious. Had to wait quite a while for the main course but it was very busy and was well worth waiting for. Staff were friendly and helpful and did a great job. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone.

My wife and I were very pleased and impressed by the friendly staff and the quality of food. We shared the tasty starter of fish cakes and then I had Cajun haddock and my wife had sea bass (all on specials). Both dishes were delicious and well presented. A great way to end our trip!

It was a Thursday night so possibly quieter than a Friday or Saturday but still relatively busy. The layout is very good with cosy areas of two or three tables. The service was attentive but not intrusive, the food was cooked to perfection and despite this being a gastropub in an ‘upmarket’ village the prices were good. We had a very enjoyable evening.

Have visited this restaurant through various owners for 30+ years now. Our visits with the current team have been lunch times only and theplace is relatively quiet. Despite a fairly limited choice on the menu, the food is truly excellent.

Great Sunday lunch yesterday that we all enjoyed. We selected three different Sunday roasts and we were all very happy with our choices. Desserts excellent too and our friends had a great time. Service and atmosphere were great as always.
