  “We spontaneously stopped off here at a sunday lunch time. Surprised to see it so busy as there is not much around. We found it completely fully booked but choose to sit outside anyway. I ordered a chicken and mushroom pie,veg and mash. My partner enjoyed the carvery . Both meals were amazing and I believe under priced . Under £20 each.”

  “There were 10 of us for Sunday lunch to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We all had the carvery which was superb, compliments to the chef! We had a leisurely lunch wirh main, desert and coffees. The staff were attentive but not overbearing and didn't rush us. All members of our party were very impressed with the whole set up. Thank you for making our meal special on such an important anniversary. We will certainly visit soon!”

  “What a beautiful place The Rusty Gun is. From the minute we walked in, we were made very welcomed. And for the food, it was delicious. The Taste of the Rusty Gun was perfect and showcased the quality and choice of food. We are visiting from Australia and this was one of the best meals we have had.”

  “Booked a table for 4, the staff were polite friendly, and well presented. We had the lite bites to start, then mains, food came out in good time, and was delicious and well presented. We all had a great evening with a great atmosphere, and would love to return.”

  “First visit but not the last! Had lovely drinks in the sunshine in the garden before having dinner. Had the Halloumi and the Frickles for starter which were all lovely. The main courses were also very tasty, well presented and well cooked. We had the Risotto and the Taste of Rusty Gun (which was great). Finally the dessert was a very good crumble (tasty and very large portion) and couple scoops of ice cream. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and professional (in particular the red haired girl (didn't get her name) who served our table was very friendly, engaging and professional). Finally the price was also very reasonable for the quality of the food and the experience. Overall a lovely experience and will recommend to friends and family”

  “It was ok but felt like it was trying masquerade as a high end restaurant and charge like one whilst cutting corners and pedalling distinctly average food. The food sounds superb on the website and indeed on the menu, but sadly the experience did not live up to the promise. I felt let down by the service - it wasn’t busy (we were one of only 3 tables occupied) and yet we sat with obvious empty glasses for over 5 minutes, to the point where I got fed up of waiting and got up and went to the bar and got drinks there. Mains for me and 2 kids, 2 sides and a couple of soft drinks each came to £115, which felt very expensive for what it was. The full rack of ribs was not very big and was drowned in what tasted like cheap shop bought bbq sauce. In addition you had to cut the ribs off with a knife, the bones did not slide out like they should on a properly cooked rack. The 10oz sirloin on the menu was actually a ribeye and was very fatty, not helped by a blunt, low quality steak knife. All 3 dishes came with an absolute mountain of rocket lettuce, assumably to make the plate look full. My son enjoyed the burger which was good. Halloumi fries were dry and overcooked. Weirdly they also serve cheap tasting off brand draft Cola rather than the proper stuff, which in a way kind of sums up my experience here. Promises high end but consistently fails to deliver. I wouldn’t go back, too many other places do the same or better quality food at a much more honest price.”

  “A google maps find for a non local- what a delight to bring my snoozy dog to this cosy yet wonderfully ambient pub. I’m not a ‘pie person’- but in the spirit of pushing my meal choices, I thoroughly enjoyed their steak and cheese pie. It came on a bed of vegetables with ideal amounts of gravy (and my cheeky request to switch to chunky chips accommodated). I’m leaving a review, as, actually- their decaffeinated coffee (cappuccino) is the best I’ve tasted lately. And as a typically avid caffeine drinker- it’s worth commending when a decaf is pleasant, and at a pub no less! Reasonably priced for a Gastro kitchen, assuming their produce is sourced at a high quality and made independently. There was an additional lunch menu offering with sandwich deals too. There are sweet little farm shop style stalls that I look forward to checking out another time. A lot of good stuff on display. The layout and decor is cute. I found the service outstanding. Their lunch time was busy, yet I had such a chilled and enjoyable time here. Also!! My dog liked saying hello to their ‘rare breed pigs’ kept by the garden. Adorable. You can actually feed them too, which may be a nice feature for families.”
