Food Quality
Pros:
"Fresh Tuna steak was cooked perfectly, paired with oriental noodles, which was a perfect combination."
"Food was excellent, service great with happy, helpful staff that were not annoyingly hovering."
"Every plate of food came quickly and was delicious."
"The food was superb, in particular the breakfast which is the best I've ever had."
"The food was amazing. Recommend the fillet steak or the burgers. And Eaton mess for pud!"
"Our meals were beautifully cooked and presented well on some really pretty plates."
"The best halloumi burger I've ever had and totally delicious rhubarb panacotta."
Cons:
"The Korma curry was a let-down."
"We had to send the BBQ pulled pork taco back as the pork was the rind from a pork chop with no meat."
"The gravy was weak and a mere coating of meaty water."
"I had the chicken Madras, which tasted nothing than slightly spicy tomato sauce."
"While the fish and chips were as greasy as they can get, didn’t enjoy the beans."
"Food was substandard and took almost 45 minutes between starters and mains arriving."
"Food is below par and very overpriced for what they actually serve."

Cons:
"When we called with a complaint... the manager spoke aggressively to my husband."
"The service was pretty poor to be honest, the staff weren’t terribly friendly."
"Even though we booked well in advanced food service was very slow."
"The starters came before our drinks which wasn’t ideal, I had to get up and go to the bar and check our drinks were coming."
"Food was good both times but the second visit was disappointing."
"Overall not great, first welcome was friendly but then the other lady in the restaurant had a bad attitude and made us feel like a nuisance."
"Sadly the service was poor, left waiting for drinks when food had already been brought out."
Ambiance and Environment
Pros:
"Amazing environment, reasonably priced, well decorated interior and exterior."
"The rooms are really well equipped. Found the fridge in the room useful."
"It is very nice, airy, with light clean decoration and spacious seating, both indoor and out."
"Incredibly welcoming atmosphere with lovely & thematic decor."
"The place itself is very nicely laid out with a very good outdoor area."
"Fantastic outdoor play area with tables nearby so all could relax."
"A beautiful village pub with a great menu for adults and children and a huge biscuit for our dog!"
Cons:
"The designated 'restaurant' area which was rather tired in places."
"The bedding was stained and there were popcorn bits and hair on the duvet and the sheets."
"The bed looked like it was used before and didn’t smell fresh."
"The rooms were so hot with no fan or air con - which made it very hard to sleep at night."
"Only downside was the shower head, kept tilting to the right."
"Waited over an hour (no explanation volunteered) and food arrived luke warm."
"This pub is rather strange... didn’t really feel that the pub and staff were very inviting."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Quality locally sourced food at a good price."
"Absolutely wonderful stay. Superb rooms at a very affordable price."
"Tasty food, amazing atmosphere, very well priced for both food and drinks."
"3 tributes, a medium glass of white wine and a gin and tonic came to just over £20."
"The food portions are of great value, the plating is extremely seemly and the staff act professionally through and through."
"The beer was really good, lovely pint of Tribute."
"Beautiful room with everything we needed."
Cons:
"Booked a table and had to cancel... charged £100 and... not one returned call."
"Expensive! All sandwiches included in a choice of courses lunch menu."
"Bill came and it was £15 ….. could have had 2 kids meals for less and 4 sausages."
"We were subsequently charged £20 per head (£80 total), which is more than we would have spent in the restaurant itself."
"Then £2.65 for a bottle of slim line tonic."
"Having just returned from visiting my dying father... we paid nearly £9 for 2 lagers."
"Absolute nonsense of a roast dinner - the veg was quite nice, Yorkshire puddings weren't bad but the gravy was a horrible fatty juice that basically drowned the rest of the meal."
Community and Social Responsibility
Pros:
"The owners have supported the local community throughout lockdowns with food parcels, a new shop and raised money for the local pre school I work for."
"Asking if sugar is needed with a hot drink, avoiding single-wrapped butter, setting up returnable boxes for takeaway food."
"Dogs welcome."
"They’re dog friendly too with a lovely surprise as they serve (for a small fee) dog food which was a lovely surprise."
"Our dog was given the same warm welcome as we were."
"Fantastic food, brilliant atmosphere and the staff were all amazing."
"Great food, fabulous service."
Cons:
"It would be 5 stars for me if they were just a little more mindful about waste in the restaurant."
"A good pub but for older people over the top with covid restrictions."
"Staff seemed pretty apathetic on both occasions & the atmosphere dour."
"Good for families with two-legged noise and smell machines."
"I never understand why establishments allow animals inside the restaurant area, I love dogs but not near my table or food."
"Food and service was fine, but we felt we were eating at the dogs home. There were dogs at ever table."
"We were waiting for 30 minutes then asked and were told we couldn't order food as they were at capacity."
