We popped in for a quick drink after visiting a local nursery. Its a place i've not been to in 30 years, boxing day beers with my brother's family.
It has changed internally for sure and the beer garden looks more enticing.
There was a crowd of people in both dining halls and a mixture of folks in the bar.
My wife liked its old age charm, tick in the box for me!

Eating out these days is expensive and often disappointing, in my experience, so we came in with low expectations. However, we had a wonderful meal for two. Compliments to the chef, it felt like the food had been freshly made to a good standard, which is hard to come by these days. Good attention had been paid to flavours, rather than just dowsing everything with salt. We had a starter and a main and were stuffed. The portion sizes were generous, food served lovely & hot, there was a good amount of veg with the dish (which is another thing pubs and restaurants seem to overlook). There was a good amount of extra gravy in the gravy boat for the pie.
Atmosphere was great, service was great. Everywhere felt clean. All things that are important to a nice meal out.
Will recommend and hope to return.

Lovely food on the 2 courses for £18.95 menu -masses of meat in the chicken and ham pie and very tasty! Half price fizz on a Friday is a great deal! It was quite empty for a Friday lunchtime but it was a very cold day. Nice that we were sitting next to a radiator!

Rely nice country pub/restaurant.
Service was good, attentive without being over the top.

Food was good.
Had three course between us.
Halloumi fries with chilli jam was delicious to start.
Went for roast beef dinners as main. Pretty good overall with plenty of flavours. Served nice and hot with tasty vegetables. Yorkshire puddings were nice but seemed like they weren't hand made.
Cheesecake desert was good. Coconut ice-cream was delicious but the biscuit base was very thin and soggy. Personal preference is a thicker crunchier biscuit.

Wine choice was very good.

Very reasonably priced!

Will definitely return.

The vegan pie here was incredible! Really impressed with the vegan pie and soup of the day (potato and leek)!

Only downside was that we were hoping to be seated in the actual pub but I think dining takes place in a restaurant extension.

Would easily recommend 😊

After a recommendation to eat here we finally found the time and made a reservation. As it’s a very popular pub / restaurant you must book if you want to eat and drink at peak times.

We found the food to be delightful and especially liked the little plates section which was great for kids or adults who simply didn’t want a big meal.

The drinks selection was also great with a lovely selection of ales.

Overall a lovely experience and meal and am very happy ti recommend.
