"The food and drink was excellent."
"The food was amazing, all 3 courses and a drink each cost us less than £60."

"The food is amazing."
Cons:
"The food this year was definitely not up to the usual standard, very disappointing."

"Would not recommend."

"Not cheap main courses from £13 and steak £28."
"All in all £100 for what was in essence a pub lunch for 4, one alcoholic drink and 3 cokes."
"Creme brulee, again lovely, but for £6.95 I was very disappointed."
"The Neville has become complacent, charging above average prices for below average food."
"Fish was really nicely cooked, bit stingy on the chips-worth £13.95? Probably not."
"Food was good quality, but pricey for portion size."
"Pie did not look homemade and the steak was dry and a bit tough."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Such a splendid environment with quirky old pub rooms, the fire places and childrens play areas in the garden and a terrace in glorious early spring sun."
"Amazing location let down by the food."
"Beautiful pub set in the country side, easy access and ample parking, food is great and the beer/cider selection is great with local organic ciders, beer garden is a great place to kill some time on a warm sunny day."
"Lovely ploughman’s & ham, egg & chips! Delicious foods, good beer & wine selection, lovely beer garden too."
"Lovely large country pub, with timber beams, open fire, and real old-world character."
"They have managed to create a cosy feeling in a spacious building."
"This lovely period pub is very welcoming and perfectly comfortable inside, with plenty of space."
Cons:
"Such a shame as the building itself is beautiful, as is the setting, but we would definitely not go back."
"A mistake to eat in the Garden Room I think, pub area looked cosy but for November the Garden Room is not adequately heated."
"However there were children running about shouting and screaming and nobody appeared to approach the parents and ask them to control their behaviour."
"The fish cake with a spring onion and tomato salad was very poor. Dry fish cake, 1 piece of spring onion and 3 slices of soft Garden tomato buried under a mound of rocket."
"Another over-priced, bog standard pub pretending to be a gastro-pub to justify prices but with no care for quality of service."
"Road is a little intrusive so if you are eating outside head towards the gardens behind the house."
"Food arrived 'warm' and was returned to the kitchen."
