We are from the Midlands visiting family who are local and we all received a lovely warm welcome. The pub is lovingly decorated with great views over the local countryside. The staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu options. The food itself was plentiful,tasty and well presented. Additional top marks to the owner who went the extra mile to look after a member of our party who unfortunately was taken suddenly unwell, thank you. We will definitely visit again when back in the area.

The first impression was great from Emma who welcomed us and pointed to our table opposite the bar. Emma was s such a pleasant and cheerful person. Very professional and a breath of fresh air with an obvious love of her job and respect for her bosses. The pub has about three rooms for dining our room had four tables and all occupied. I ordered lamb roll from the light bites menu daughter chicken and bacon toasted sandwich. We ordered chicken goujons for our little one. My word the portions were massive and the food was lovely really lovely! Our desserts were equally gorgeous we had no complaints at all about the food or service. I look forward to going again when I visit my daughter. Just one comment it would have been top stars if the fire was lit.

Greeted nicely but from then on rushed . Barely sat down and wanted drinks order . Food order we had to ask them to come back as we had not decided so quickly . Food was good choice and good . Once dessert dishes removed we were asked if we wanted anymore drinks , then when declined they said last orders in ten minutes . It was only ten o clock ! Ten minutes passed and we felt very uncomfortable as all staff were waiting by the bar for us and another table to leave . They definately wanted to leave rather than wait to see if an drinkers called in . Won’t be returning and neither will the other couples we were with .

I was so happy to come across this pub/restaurant an hour into the diversion and nipped in to ask to use the facilities. Emma immediately picked up on my stress, not only let me use the loo, but let me heat food for my toddler, give them lunch and a run about. She made sure we were all set and no money passed hands! Also thanks to the brewing company sorry I didn’t even think to get the name who were delivering at the time, as thanks to those two guys, we got onto the right road and home. I will come back here one day. In the meantime, a big thank you!!

Since it changed hands for the second time in 4 years it was much improved and we had some good meals. However, at our recent visit the food was indifferent. Large fish and chips was what seemed like frozen fish with eight chips. Partners fish dish was cold and had to be sent back. Staff, which were all new, seemed unhappy and disinterested.
