The service was efficient and the food was excellent with generous portions. I would highly recommend this place. Additionally, our 4-year-old had a great time being entertained by the visiting cat named "Ted."

We had chosen it as it is a Wadworth brewery pub and was located on our way home to Surrey from Wiltshire. It was busy for the last Saturday of 2023 and we were glad we had booked online in advance. The service was polite friendly. The food was very tasty. My partner had the wood pigeon to start and I had the tempura cod cheeks. We both had the chicken, ham leek pies for mains, which were especially good. The location of this pub is beautiful set amongst woodland and very popular with dog walkers. We would happily return if we were in the area again. Highly recommended.

I have been ringing since we gave over our deposit and now we can never get an answer, or the wedding coordinator is never in. We have left message after message and had no return call. The wedding side is completely independent from the pub side, the manager has no clue or access to anything and they never have antone to stand in. My advice is don't bother with this place, it would be preferable to lose our deposit, which would be withheld even though we have tried and they cannot be bothered to help.

Absolute delicious meal which, when you consider the number of people, is impressive. Service was excellent, they brought out food and knew who had ordered what, took drink orders regularly and were friendly. The tables looked gorgeous, we had the best time. Thank you!

We sat downstairs and despite the open fire it was freezing cold. Many people in the restaurant had coats on and people kept going over to the fireplace for a warm. Luckily my Mum had a thick and long wool cardigan and a scarf so she didn't quite become hypothermic! We booked Sunday lunch for 1330 and finally were served at 1500! Food was OK, not great. Plates were cold and our dinner not very hot, but the portion was hearty except for the quantity of vegetables. Service from the staff was inattentive, my son and girlfriend ended up going to the main bar to get a drink after they joined us as the serving staff had not noticed that they were there! Overall not a great lunch and I won't be going back; cold restaurant, slow and inattentive service with mediocre food. Next time I'll stick to my local which is excellent aand has ever disappointed me. Mum got home and got her fire alight and has now thawed out.
