We’ve been going there for 30 years so we have high expectations. Under new management now. Great staff, food was tasty but lukewarm. Veg was almost cold. Just need to up their game a bit and it will be back to being really good.

Wonderful Sunday roast once again. Beautiful, tender roast beef and the friendly staff took lots of time to help us to choose gluten-free meals. We’ll be back!

Nice service and the management offered us some complimentary drinks when they spotted it was my birthday, which we were thrilled with! Roast was good and portion sizes excellent.

This is the first visit since the new management and it was a disappointment. The menu looked pretty much the same but with more meat dishes. My sausages were nowhere near as tasty as they used to be and a friend's beef burger was reported as not being hot enough. The fish that my wife had was not a good as previous versions. However the service was friendly and efficient and the prices were less than before.

Lovely traditional friendly pub that serves good food in a small dining area. The Provence rose and steak were both excellent. We’ll be back again.

Friendly welcome, chatty staff at a busy time of the afternoon. Very good selection of local ales and variety of beverages, excellent pub food and very efficient staff. Beautiful garden, lovely lounges/seating, all very laid back and a wonderful afternoon spent in the garden taking drinks after our meals. Thank you, Steve B.

2 of us had the honey & garlic pork chop on the specials board. It was very disappointing. No taste of honey & garlic and both the chop and ‘creamy mash’ were dry and tasteless. The risotto also lacked taste (and seasoning?). I had emailed the pub to tell them we were bringing a dog. A quick acknowledgement would have been courteous (most pubs do) but I didn’t receive anything. I did tell the waitress about the chop. She said she’d have a word in the kitchen but never came back to us on it. Everyone was very polite but they have some way to go before being an efficiently run pub.

We were asked to order drinks from our table rather than at the bar in a fairly blunt way - not ideal. And it is a pub. The bread with a number of dishes was sliced packet brown. It is still a good pub, but has moved in the wrong direction since the recent change in management.

It was fine. Service was good, menu interesting and it was not too crowded. Will probably come back again in due course. Thank you very much.

It was a very pleasant experience but we thought it was rather expensive for what it was. Good food, good service but not good value.
