Cons:
"Typical 1500 pub low ceilings n hubby felt cramped."
"Only 2 issues were that the pub was having some building work done which impacted a little and that the outside areas were untidy."
"The main beer garden was closed so we had to sit in the smoking area in the car park, it just felt cold and uncomfortable."

"Was expecting much better based on reputation, but a very mediocre Sunday lunch."

"If there was one negative, sometimes the deserts have run out so family compromises are needed 😌"

"The only thing that let it down was the cheese board, not enough selection of cheeses and what I did have was on the small side."

Cons:
"It's on a pokestop and they have WiFi but it doesn't reach most of the pub and no one had signal so not wonderful."
"If you have mobility problems, you need to remember, this IS a 16th century building so there are various steps in the building leading to the cosy eating areas & to the toilets, but don't let this put you off."
"Be careful about the single track road to get there ...!!"
"I found the food was amazing, but wasn't keen on the dogs being allowed in the garden around food."
