  “Visited recently for meals and drinks. The service was nice and friendly. Toilets were clean. The pub itself was lovely, very cosy - but if you are tall mind your head! The food was lovely but the portions are humongous! I normally clear a plate but I left half. Beautiful just very big.”

  “We booked a table for a Birthday carvery for a family of 9 people in the evening as it stated carvery 12-8pm as last time we went for mother's day we enjoyed it. This time round we were all very disappointed. They had no gammon left hardly any pork left. The Roast potatoes did not taste nice hardly any vegetables and no cauliflower cheese! The food was cold plus the hot drinks. We had 1 child who had the children's sausage and chips this time round and hardly had any chips on the plate (not good for a junior) The price we all paid for food and drinks were not a good value! We were all disappointed. The only good thing I can say is we had a room to ourselves.”

  “Stopped off here as we have been to the pub last year and found it to be nice atmosphere and food was nice landlord was friendly. On going this time we sat outside with our dogs. I couldn’t comment on atmosphere as I said we were outside. Took a while to order food and it was Sunday staff organisation wasn’t good. One person serving drinks and taking food orders meaning you had to wait to order especially when someone has ordered 8 drinks and meals so had to wait for all drinks to be poured by one and only person behind the bar. We were very disappointed with our meal. The southern fried chicken burger was very poor. It had two chicken fillets which I would say is like basic supermarket own brand over cooked and dry. Brioche buns were not toasted and lettuce was poor and scarce / wilted chips were basic . No mayonnaise or sauces on the burger. Very dry and bland. We eat out a lot of places as we like days out and from a year ago to now big difference. I know it’s been taken over but standard of food was poor in my eyes if you have an educated palate”

  “Stopping over at a nearby touring site we noted this Inn as a potential place to eat. Called in on a Wednesday evening and it was BOGOF on main courses. Really enjoyed the Hunters Chicken and my wife enjoyed her vegetable tart as well. Service was quick and the staff were efficient and polite. Highly recommended and a place we’ll look to use again if we’re ever in the area.”

  “The food was not very good really. We went on a non-roast day. Their roasts are terrific. Sadly, the food on a Saturday was not. Chicken goujons were as hard as a brick. The burger (Big Boy or something like that) didn't taste of a lot considering its ingredients. My guests had mixed opinions on their dishes. Disappointed. Roasts next time.”

  “Updated review 27th September: Not sure if it’s under the same ownership, but today’s visit was disappointing, the food quality has significantly dipped. The meats looked pale and sad, the beef couldn’t even cut through it or chew it and was carved way too thick. The potatoes were anaemic, cold and just not very nice. The veg selection was poor, the carrots and parsnips were nice,soft and seasoned nicely. the rest was awful. It was dry, cold, there was no stuffing had to scrape it from the pan. The cauliflower cheese looked like it was blended or something it was just a sloppy mess. The crackling was so chewy not crunchy more like pork belly. The gravy was very runny like water, so there wasn’t much taste with the meal, no mash potato although suede mash was available, however this seemed to be really watery so didn’t even bother putting it on my plate. ordered drinks unavailable which is no problem but then one i ordered instead came with ice when i asked no ice. I guess that’s just a small detail because the food was meant to be the highlight. It’s a shame because last time we came here it was delicious,hot, bigger selection but today’s meal was awful and two meals cost us almost £50 After a few fork-fulls! I’ve attached a picture from today’s meal and the two are from my review a few months ago and are labelled. Previous review: Lovely girls working behind bar, it was busy sunday but none were dull, food was amazing and was replenished constantly meaning everything was available without waiting. £17.5 for standard plate on sunday.”

  “Lovely and spooky old pub which a charming interior setup. Definitely worth a visit to explore the different themed rooms and get a pint. The outdoor area was also well decked out with a children's play area which would make a great beer garden if the weather was nice. The food was quite standard but went down well.”

  “Fantastic pub and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming! We always visit for a Sunday carvery - and it’s super tasty and filling! A standard carvery is plenty big enough after you’ve piled on all the trimmings! The normal menu is fantastic, and the quality of the food is outstanding. Highly recommended booking for weekends to avoid disappointment. Parking isn’t too bad, but can find it to be limited on busy spells. Decent outdoor space to enjoy the fresh air, and the buildings itself looks spectacular inside and out. 100% worth a visit.”

  “A beautiful old inn dating back to the late 1400s. A large car park with an adjoining beer garden this inn has bags of character.... Absolutely tons... Like sitting in your nans front room..... But older. Service was excellent, received a friendly greeting and was shown to table 16 where we chose the carvery. Everything about the food was very good, no problems... The parsnips were the only thing I wasn't keen on. With a pint of ale and a pint of diet coke this totalled a very fair £43. We wouldn't hesitate to return but would try something else from their menu. Visited 1st of November 2025”
