  • "Fabulous views of the surrounding country side."
  • "Tremendous views from the room and from the bar and garden."

Cons:

  • "It can also get quite crowded and noisy."
  • "Parking at the pub can be very difficult, and the pub is in a slightly tricky location (up a steep single-track road)."
  • "One star off for having such a badly kept car park."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The beef brisket jacket potato was one of the best meals I've had, especially for a pub."
  • "Our food consisted of ham hock terrine and a cured trout dish. Both were starters and together with some nice pub chips were tasty and more than adequate for lunch on their own."

  • "The food was simply great!"

Cons:

  • "But the food was awful I had a ploughman's with a side of chips it looked as if it was prepared a fortnight earlier so disappointed and my wife's meal was not any better."
  • "The food was quite poor quality and not well cook, however prices were really high compared with others so this just didn't marry up."
  • "Unfortunately, the food was not as good as expected (some of it warm and some of it tepid)."
  • "The only downside was the food which was constantly dry, seriously dry, no matter which meal we had."
  • "Sunday lunch, opted for the vegan roast, quite possibly the worst Sunday roast I've ever had."
  • "Shame about the food, it really is horrible... especially charging more than average prices."

  • "Visited a few months back and the food and service was horrendous, the guy last time picked his nose and didn’t attend to us once."
