Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch is the most frequent draw, with reviewers describing a rustic, home-cooked roast that left one party with empty plates and a son who finished the lot. Close behind are the pies, including a mushroom pie, and the fish and chips, while the biscoff cheesecake and a beer by the log burner round out several visits. Reviewers repeatedly call it a lovely family-run pub with friendly, polite staff, and some mention large portions and good value, including with children. The main criticism comes from one Sunday diner who found the roast vegetables mediocre, the Yorkshire pudding limp and the cauliflower cheese underwhelming. The same reviewer says no one was at the bar, later arrivals were served first, a child's roast matched the adult portion at a lower-than-expected saving, and staff never returned about the WiFi code. One reviewer says the owners reopened the closed kitchen to feed a father and son.
