Cons:
"Was a bit disappointed that where we were seated for our meal you kept getting a smell of the toilets when someone went in or out, quite off putting."
"Chose pheasant breast for main which was dry and tough, disappointed to be honest."
"It didnt cater very well for people with different dietary requirements, all I could have as a veggie was a cheese sandwich."
"Called in for lunch on route to Goathland after reading some reviews, lovely cosy old fashioned pub with welcoming staff, unfortunately found the food to be no better than any run of the mill normal pub food with frozen chips and dry drab chicken and salad, certainly overpriced, sadly we won't be rushing back."
"Plus there was no option for non alcoholic beer and only 2 lagers but lots of bitters."
"Selected 4 Sunday lunches and was very disappointed that the meat was extremely fatty on 3 of the meals."
"The beef was very fatty and we left quite a lot, the roast potatoes were hard."

"A great dog friendly pub."
"A gem of a place. Thank you to the entire staff team and to the owners who set such high standards."
"The atmosphere is amazing!"
"This pub is pretty, with hanging baskets, birds twittering all around you."
Cons:
"In addition the atmosphere of dogs continually barking inside the eating area and a owner letting her dog licking her face whilst on her lap was very inconsiderate to diners."
"It's not called the Fox and Rabbit for no reason however, so stuffed animals on the wall will offend and upset some people so if you are like that don't go in."
"Whoever thinks that the table next to bar on the thoroughfare to the toilet is a good idea for social distancing is sadly mistaken."
"Not a cosy, relaxed pub feeling."
"Drinks are expensive, food looked overpriced, ambiance is non existent and it's quite uncomfortable."
"An unwelcoming member of staff simply dismissed the very suggestion that they may have anything that didn't contain gluten."
"Rude staff... Manageress too self important failed to apologise when bumping into disabled person."

"We'll worth the price.£17.50 per person."
"Couldn't believe it, value for money I must say."
Cons:
"Fastest meal ever and cost me a small fortune."
"£3 for a small 330ml bottle of mineral water. Absolutely disgusting."
"It is the most we have ever paid for a meal."
"The meals weren't even worth the money."
"Literally got 4 chips with the meal with fish and chips and paid £14!"
"Although the food was good and well presented I thought the prices were a little ambitious for the establishment."
