Village pub set in the tiny village of Outgate. Convenient parking and pleasant staff. Menu is fairly limited on choice compared to many pubs but still enough for most people to find something. Food was well cooked and hot and tasty though good rather than exceptional. Still enjoyed a good value meal after a long walk in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
Stopped by on my own for dinner and a glass of wine after reading all the good reviews what a gem of a pub!! The staff are super friendly and so were all the other customers too. Such a lovely place with a lovely atmosphere. I had the hunters chicken (which was delicious!! and the member of staff also bought out a napkin filled with dog treats for my dog
Visited today for the football, not many places locally that have the sports but there were 3 screens on here. Food looked and smelled amazing! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Drinks were reasonably priced, will definitely return.
Called in yesterday for a Sunday lunch and it was absolutely superb. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. It has a really nice warm feel about it and the service and food were simply excellent. I had the mixed meat (beef and pork) and my wife had the pork and it was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I had tomato soup to start delicious and finished with white chocolate and limoncello cheesecake outstanding. We thought it was well priced and worth every penny. Staff were very helpful without being fussy or overbearing which we prefer. Dog friendly too. Seats outside for when the weather is better and a decent size beer garden too. Thought it was fantastic and we will definitely return. Highly recommend. update called in today (14/06/26) and, despite it being busy it was even better than last week. Lovely, friendly service and a cracking Sunday roast. Absolutely excellent.
