  “The food here is genuinely really good. But everything graphic in the place, from the menus to the promotional posters for events, is AI generated, and that's why it gets one star from me. There's a lot of talk in this country about people taking jobs. Well, this is what taking jobs looks like. Every time a business uses AI instead of hiring a graphic artist or designer, it takes work away from the people who actually do this for a living. "It's cheaper" or "it's quicker" aren't valid excuses. It's lazy, and it costs real people their livelihoods. I know a lot of businesses defend this tooth and nail, but I will die on this hill: it looks tacky. I hope they do better.”

  “A proper unpretentious pub in a lovely spot near the river, serving proper unpretentious and good value grub. I doubt they'd be able to do food at such keen prices if Mr Beaudelaire had his way - to give a one star rating on the basis of self-produced graphics seems most odd. Presumably he makes a point of not using self-service petrol stations.”

  “We visit the pub for lunch it was very busy and the food was first class. There is a small carpark but a little way along the road there is another carpark.”

  “Sorry no photo. I'd forgotten what a lovely setting this place was in and the nice outside space that is on offer. My first menu choice wasn't available so I quickly chose the curry as an alternative. In response to my question I was told it was a chicken curry but when delivered to the table it turned out to be what looked and tasted like a very bland spinach soup with bits of chicken in it. I hate spinach and would never have ordered it had spinach been mentioned on the menu. Having only eaten the rice, chicken pieces and naan I did ask the waitress if it was spinach (it was that bland I could only tell from the hundreds of green bits in it) but she wasn't too sure and just took the plates away without comment despite me describing the uneaten 'soup' as "yuk". I'm pleased to say my friends meal looked (and according to him) tasted lovely and my experience won't put me off going here again but I won't order a curry!”

  “Sitting outside in the beer garden with live entertainment and some food. What a perfect Sunday afternoon. We will definitely go back, they even have an ice cream machine for the old school 99's :)”

  “Had a great experience at this pub. There was a good selection of drinks, and the service at the bar was friendly and welcoming as the girls worked hard to get the queue down. Nice big beer garden with plenty of customers enjoying the great weather. Small note is some of the benches maybe need a little TLC. The small but traditional pub menu had everything you'd expect, and the food was excellent as was the speed and service, given how busy they were on a Friday early evening. We both chose the lasagne, which came with ciabatta garlic bread and a fresh side salad. We also shared a portion of chips. We were genuinely amazed by the price, just £11 for such a quality meal. Chips were a few pounds extra with the lasagne but came with most other meals I think. Fantastic value for money, and we'll definitely be returning soon!”

  “Absolutely amazing Sunday roast dinner. And only £12 (May 2025). What a bargain. I chose turkey. It came with stuffing, cranberry sauce, parsnips, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli & Yorkshire pudding. Very busy Sunday (1pm) I was there so recommend getting there sooner rather than later. The ladies behind the bar provided the entertainment. Especially 'Cilla Black'.”

  “Very warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar, who promptly sat us down for food. Slightly unusual layout of pub but plenty of space. Drinks were very quickly served, nice menu, which wasn't overwhelming. My wife and I opted for Fish Fry day...two cod chips and mushy peas. A snip at £20..... weren't disappointed...loved this pub and it's beautiful location. Hope to come back for the live music. Well done all round”

  “Definitely a great family pub, huge garden, bland menu, ice cream hut. I guess it has evolved to suit its clients needs, the exterior is charming, but more or less ends there for me. Food was very disappointing”

  “Lovely pub large garden with a bouncy castle for the children. Very friendly staff . Real ales on tap and the home cooked food was excellent!! The steak and ale pie and cod and chips stood out on the menu for me. A proper English country pub .”
