Food Quality
Pros:
"The food is always superb, good range of beers and gin."
"In short, beautiful pub set in pretty village, seriously food that ranges from pub classics to fine dining at very very good prices."
"Saffron and parmesan fish pie, mushroom gnocchi etc all expertly prepared and delivered on all levels."
"Food was definitely worth the cost, would go again and recommend."
"Amazingly tasty food and right-sized servings - I had the pork belly starter and lamb main, cooked to perfection."
"All the food was fresh and delicious."
"The food was impressive; the steak was the best I've had in a very long time, or perhaps ever!"
Cons:
"Main course menu doesn't seem to change much."
"Burgers were burnt and dry, hake dish oversalted."
"Pomme frites served the toughest steak I’ve ever eaten, and came undercooked (blue, rather than medium rare)."
"The most disappointing dish we had over 3 visits was actually the fish pie, which was 90% potato mash and 10% short dated fish."
"Disappointed by the BBQ burger. A fatty and gristly patty that wasn't worth £10."
"The oysters were delicious but the Rib Eye steak was very bad quality."
"Very disappointing cuisine."
Service
Pros:
"A lovely young lady named Megan was stand out for us from the minute we walked in we were met with such a warm welcoming smile and very professional."
"The staff were so helpful and accommodating, right from my first enquiry and throughout our visit."
"Service was excellent. Would recommend anytime."
"Service was quick and pleasant but the best part was the food."
"The gentleman who served us (Guy) was courteous and made us feel confident and safe in the Covid precautions."
"Service and staff were excellent though."
"Our waitress was very attentive, we didn't feel at any point like we'd been forgotten."
Cons:
"The night time bar staff were very dismissive of any guests staying the night."
"Service barely existent despite not being busy."
"Service was charming but largely unattentive."
"The staff were nice but clearly overstretched."
"It took a while to be served."
"The restaurant staff were a bit inexperienced, the food orders were wrong."
"Service by Guy was great and he contributed to the afternoon experience."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Great value for money."
"The wine list has a good variety and reasonable price points."
"Food was definitely worth the cost, would go again and recommend."
"Fair prices too - for good quality food with generous portions."
"While not cheap the quality was excellent and portion sizes were good, we felt it was good value."
"The food is pricey but wouldn't say 'overpriced' as it's fresh and lovely, so you're definitely getting what you paid for."
"The steak was cooked perfectly and great value for money."
Cons:
"However the potion is quite small and a bit expensive."
"Shame the prices were far too high - this was not a £16 roast - tiny portion and felt more like school dinners."
"Kind staff, nice tasty meals but the portion and price ratio not in proportion (simple fish and chips £14), well presented though."
"Price of a (small) sandwich and fries in the bar has shot up by over 50% to £16.50!"
"Drinks were a bit pricey especially the wine at £35 a bottle."
"They also horrendously overcharge for deserts. £8.50 for a small slice of tart and a half sized scoop of iced cream."
"Expensive for things like bar snacks - £20 for two drinks and some nuts."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Location really picturesque."
"Nice atmosphere in a popular local pub."
"The Restaurant area is decorated to a high quality finnish giving it a hi class feel."
"Their outside space has been revamped during lockdown and is really good."
"The setting is really nice on a summer's day, the beer garden is lovely with equal amounts of sunny and shaded areas and a beautiful view of the church."
"Lovely atmosphere, great selection of Gin and Tonics."
"This pub is lovely in the summer as you are able to sit outside in various locations and appreciate the beautiful surroundings."
Cons:
"The meal was very nice but we were disappointed with eating in the bar as it wasn’t the experience we expected."
"The beer garden only had a few beers and I had to run in and out for different brands to fill everyone's glasses."
"We arrive at the establishment only to be told there was no record of our booking and that their 'infallible' i-Pad booking system was not at fault."
"Such a disappointing menu."
"The only downside is that parking can be a bit of nightmare when the pub/restaurant is busy."
"The restaurant was full and very noisy and hot."
"Booked garden for 7pm for birthday celebration. Turned up to be told garden was closed so table was now inside."
