  “This establishment, unequivocally, stands out as a truly magnificent pub. From the moment one steps through its welcoming doors, the dedication and professionalism of the staff become immediately apparent. Their attentiveness is not merely satisfactory; it is exceptional, consistently anticipating needs and providing a level of service that elevates the entire experience. Every interaction is met with a genuine warmth and a proactive desire to ensure guest satisfaction. Beyond the exemplary service, the beer prices are notably reasonable, offering excellent value without compromising on quality or selection. It’s a delightful surprise to find such well-maintained and diverse beverage options at such competitive rates, making every round a pleasure. The culinary offerings here are nothing short of spectacular. The food is, in a word, amazing. Each dish is prepared with evident care and a clear passion for flavour, showcasing a delightful array of options that cater to various tastes. What truly sets it apart, however, are the generous portions. They are indeed large, ensuring that every diner leaves feeling thoroughly satisfied and well-fed, truly getting their money's worth and then some. This combination of exquisite taste and substantial quantity makes every meal a memorable occasion. On a particular visit, our group comprised a considerable number of people, around 20 individuals in total. Despite the substantial size of our party, the pub’s team managed the situation with impressive efficiency and grace. They deftly navigated the challenge of accommodating such a large contingent, swiftly arranging seating and ensuring everyone was comfortably settled. Throughout our entire stay, they looked after us with an unwavering commitment, attending to every request and ensuring that our collective experience was seamless and enjoyable. Their ability to handle a big group with such ease and professionalism is a testament to their exceptional organizational skills and dedication to customer care, making it an ideal venue for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations alike.”

  “Just had the loveliest meal at this gorgeous, cosy, country pub. The service was exceptional (thank you to Damien who was so friendly and accomodating) and the food was delicious, I had the "Chef's Salad" and it was *chefs kiss!* Lovely atmosphere, we sat outside all evening and as it got dark, the fairy lights came on, which was a lovely touch. Highly recommend.”

  “Food was lovely. Big portions and came out very hot. Slightly expensive but you are in the new Forest so as expected, but the portions definitely justify the price you pay. Service was quick but the staff mainly spoke between themselves even when serving you. Otherwise all good. Lovely out door seating area also and bathrooms very clean.”

  “The jumbo fish and chips were incredible! The portions are big and it was priced at £21. Not so big of a fan of the katy Perry cider 🍺, but the vibes are still great in the back garden”

  “Went on a Saturday night (didn’t book) they were happy to offer us a table last minute, we were visiting for the weekend. We ordered chicken chorizo skewers & sausage and mash, both delicious no faults. Ice cream and crumble (stunning highly recommend comes in a cute cup!), service was good and friendly staff. Would happily go again”

  “We booked a table for my mother in-laws 62nd birthday, we've never been here before and it didn't disappoint. From when we arrived the staff was helpful and very polite and made us feel so welcome. There was 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children and there was plenty to do for the kids in the park outside. The food experience was out of this world! It was definitely worth the price we were charged! Just wanted to thank the chefs for the amazing food and service! Definitely will be visiting here again and highly recommend it.”

  “Lovely place, amazing gardens to sit in. Gorgeous food. The only reason we’ve given 4 star on service is that you have to order food at the bar and it’s quite busy then when you’ve waited for food to come they bring it out then tell you to go get your own cutlery and sauces. Which I think could have been noted at the bar when ordering so you can grab it on the way past if not depending where you are you have to walk all the way back for it. Or like every other place I’ve been they’ve brought it out for you. Decent prices for where you are and the quality.”

  “Went in here and was busy. Waited to be served bar staff not very welcoming. Most tables were reserved, which was nice to see. Plenty of seating inside. Did find one area loud as had TV on. We managed to get a table and ordered food. My partner had what was supposed to be large fish and chips but was definitely not large. I ordered classic fish pie, well it was not nice at all it was bits salmon with mash potato, I did tell waitress but didn't seem interested, Aldi fish pie definitely better. Disappointed as wanted to try here. I wouldn't recommend but everyone has different tastes.”
