  “What a lovely experience! The staff were warm, friendly, and wonderfully inclusive. The food was delicious, and the lunch deal was excellent value for money. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it!”

  “This pub has everything it needs to be one of the best around. The staff are friendly, the drinks are good, and the venue itself is excellent. Unfortunately, it’s let down by the behaviour of three local regulars who seem to think they own the place. On one occasion, they tried to provoke me into a confrontation for no reason whatsoever. Thankfully i showed maturity towards this group of adolescent attempting to fight infront of children running around. I ignored them, but it completely changed the atmosphere and made what should have been an enjoyable visit uncomfortable and that won’t change for me now for every visit I go in the future. Even more disappointing was seeing what appeared to be a single father with his three children made to feel so unwelcome by the same group that he ended up leaving. Watching a family feel uncomfortable because of the actions of a handful of regulars is not something any pub should want associated with its reputation. It’s a real shame because this isn’t a criticism of the pub itself—it’s a criticism of the fact that the behaviour of a very small number of customers seems to go unchecked. A welcoming pub shouldn’t feel intimidating to new customers or families. I genuinely hope management addresses this issue because the pub has so much potential. Remove the influence of these few individuals, and it would easily deserve five stars.”

  “Terrible experience, particularly as a regular. We’ve always known breakfast served until 11am on sundays. Have been coming since Neil ran it impeccably. Unfortunately now it’s not well run. The kitchen runs the place clearly. Our son went ahead of the family to check if still serving breakfast. Was told yes by the young girl there and proceeded to order a couple of omelettes some toast and coffee at 10.50am. We arrived dot on 1-am to be told they hadn’t placed his order as they couldn’t possibly ask the kitchen to cook breakfast at this time. They were prepping lunch apparently. Well.. who’s running the show? The chef ? Or the manager? If you advertise online and your staff tell people breakfast is served til 11am then it should be served til 11! Not just stop when the staff can’t be bothered. We won’t come again for breakfast. This isn’t the first time we’ve witnessed bad attitudes here but it is the first I’ve reported it.”

  “Lovely location. Most of us went for the Social Club menu, which is great value. Food was good, waitress was very nice but service much too slow (again!) - and it wasn't over busy either. We had checked whether we needed to pre order and were told it wasn't necessary. Two of our group had to leave before the desert was served.”

  “We choose the pub for its proximity to nice walks in the woods and based on recommendations. It is a lovely place to meet and have a drink, and the team is very welcoming. We enjoyed our time there for these reasons and Benson took great care of our table. We were extremly disapointed with the food. A goat cheese salad ended up being creme cheese with chives served with beetroot, no salad and no nice goat cheese to cut through (it was a creme and cheese mix). We couldn't find a nice healthy dish to choose from on the menu. Benson tried his best to mix ingredients and build a menu to our liking but it was still disapointing. We were hoping and expecting a nice lunch menu such as salads (as it has been in the past) and nice breads to go with it. It is now a classic pub menu, mainly sandwich, burgers and fries or deep fried fish. The goat cheese salade was kindly deducted from our bill. We do hope the menu will change in the future and offer a nicer variety of dishes with some tasty vegan or vegetarian options. In the meantime we will come back but stick to drinks only.”

  “We thought we would try this place as we were up visiting family. So we had not made a booking prior. However the lady on the front desk was very welcoming & helpful. We only had a certain time before . So we didn’t get the chance to enjoy more items from the menu. However we were not disappointed in our Sunday lunch . I opted for the roast pork. We were asked if we wished to have a Yorkshire pudding. Oh my nothing prepared me for , firstly its size & secondly its flavour. Because a lot of places are offering large Yorkshire puddings. Yet they lack flavour and are over crispy nothingness things. Making you seem as though you have had value for money. But not so here . It was amazing ( well done chef, you have nailed the UK’s tastiest Yorkshire pudding) I applaud you. We also enjoyed the other items on our plates. I’m not a gravy person, however between that and the Yorkshire pudding. Well if that’s what heaven is. I was in it . I also enjoyed the flavour of the roast potatoes & freshness of the veg.”

  “We want to thank the team at the Churchill Tree for the most incredible day that they made for us on our wedding day on 26/4/25. We honestly couldn’t have asked for any more; The staff were so attentive and lovely. It was genuinely the best day of our lives so far and was in part due to the extra mile that the team went to make it extra special for us. We want to make a special mention to Molly and Head Chef Josh. Molly was our contact at the Churchill tree from the beginning of the planning process all the way through to the actual wedding day. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she was always more than happy to help and responded very efficiently to my many emails!! The food on the night was absolutely incredible: it tasted delicious and the presentation of the food was also impeccable. We also had 2 guests that had food allergies and the staff very easily accommodated this with both the 3 course meal and the canapés. All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was on the night, how lovely the venue was and how attentive the staff were. As previously mentioned, the team went the extra mile in numerous ways and this didn’t go unnoticed e.g. assembling and decorating our cake, topping up everyone’s drinks, serving the top table first and making sure that I had a supply of Nosecco! We honestly can’t thank you enough. If anyone is planning on having an event or wedding etc at the Churchill Tree, they won’t be disappointed.. go ahead and book it! The grounds are also beautiful for photos too! The Churchill Tree and specifically the events side of the business deserves to do so well and deserves to continue to grow and succeed! We will most definitely be back, the Churchill tree truly now has a very special place in our hearts ❤️ Thank you xx”

  “Had Sunday lunch, great location good atmosphere, great service and great food, the food came even before the drinks! All staff very friendly and dogs welcome, my 4 legged friend will be coming next time, only slight criticism was the roast potatoes could have been cooked slightly longer, but other than that fantastic”

  “Was my first time visiting this pub, but certainly won’t be the last. Came for a roast and it was absolutely gorgeous. One of the best Yorkshire puddings I’ve ever had. And the staff were so attentive from the moment we walked in. My espresso came with an amazing little shortbread which was really nice. The interior is absolutely gorgeous - can’t recommend enough!”
