Nestled in the countryside, this village pub offers a mix of experiences for diners. While some guests rave about the cozy atmosphere and friendly service, others have faced disappointments such as bland food, limited menu options, and occasional service mishaps. Steaks often fall short, lacking local sourcing, and some meals have left diners unimpressed. However, the pub excels in providing a welcoming environment, particularly for those traveling with pets. With its charming interior and potentially delightful roasts, visitors may find it worth a visit—just set expectations accordingly and check in advance, especially for popular dining days.
