Value
Pros:
"£25 for 3 courses which was very reasonable."
"The bill came to £80 including drinks, so that was very reasonable ;-)"
"For the price of Bed and Breakfast an evening meal from the Favorites menu was thrown in gratis."
Cons:
"It is overpriced for the area and for what it offers."
"I noticed the A La Carte menu was quite pricey so we dressed for the occasion, however when we arrived we were shocked how many people were sat in cycling shorts and jeans."
"Unfortunately the wine prices in the pub bar are stunningly high. £6.95 for a 175 ml glass of Mayfly sauvignon blanc took the edge off what was otherwise a delightful meal."
"Also a portion of bread £4.50 which meant bread, beef and pudding were £27.50. Not impressed sorry."

"Disappointed after an excellent meal 18 months ago. Service has really dropped in standard."
"No one asked if everything was alright and we had to catch the staff’s eye for extra wine, water and helped ourselves to salt and pepper from the service table."
"Absolutely terrible customer service particularly from the young front of house man in the grey jacket who was nothing but rude."
"Waited an age to have our order taken. Had to ask to order a second round of drinks. Ordered a coffee with deserts that never arrived."

"Had the grouse for starter. Wow is all I can say. Beautifully presented and tasted amazing."

"The fish and chips were absolutely outstanding, so delicious, the best I've eaten in years."
Cons:
"Very little choice on the menu compared to the advertised menu on the website."

"Sunday roast fairly meh, barely roasted potatoes, a kilogram of over boiled cabbage and a mangle of fatty beer."
"3 out of 4 of our main courses were served cold to Luke warm."
"The steak and ale pie was somewhat watery, but you can’t fault the taste."

Accommodation

"The rooms are simply gorgeous. Comfortable super king beds and exquisite bathrooms complete with Molton Brown toiletries and robes."
"We stayed in the 'Pheasant' room which had a comfy bed and luxurious bathroom with walk in shower, TV and tea and coffee making facilities."
"The bedroom was amazing and the over head rain shower was wonderful in mouse!"
"The bedrooms are amazing and are even better in real life than the picture's."
"The rooms were immaculate."

"It's right swish and old world charming inside with cricketers pictures on one wall."
