"With pubs closing everywhere, we are so lucky to still have an excellent village pub here. It ticks all the boxes for friendliness, excellent beer and food. Wife and I recently dropped in without booking for a weekday lunch and watched while the small number of staff coped efficiently with lunches for a 30+ cycling tour and then apologised for taking so long (it wasn't) with ours. Couldn't ask for a better local. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Lunch"

"Visited on a beautiful sunny Sunday for drinks. The pub is very quaint and food is good (from previous experience) but that is where the positivity ends. We were told on ordering our drinks at 3:35 that this was last orders and they closed at 4 despite all online literature saying 5pm. Not too much of an issue in insolation really these things happen. My husband returned to the bar for crisps to overhear the land lady complaining that she couldn 't get closed up to enjoy the sunshine as people kept coming to the bar. We all have a moan now and again about work but maybe this should be done in private rather than in front of the customers who are here to support your business? Then it went downhill. Whilst there I potentially lost an important item but didn 't realise until the next day. So on Tuesday when passing I popped in to see if it had been handed in as this was the last time I knew I had it. The pub looked open from the front all signs out and the beer garden door was unlocked. On opening it was dark inside so I just popped my head round the door and called out 'Hello '. After another 'hello ' the landlady stuck her head around a corner and my interaction went as follows: Me: Hi I 'm so sorry to interrupt but I was here Sund.... Her: We are closed (very abrupt and rude) Me: Oh I 'm sorry the door was unlocked can I just ask if.... Her: NO we are closed you have to leave. I am just a chef here I don 't know anything. Leave now. Me: Umm ok I just Her: GO AWAY Me: OK, do you have a number I can call about lost property, its just it is a very important key Her: Find it online now you need to leave. Get off the property!! Me: There is absolutely no need to be so rude, don 't worry I will take my business elsewhere I am still pretty shocked at being spoken too with such unprovoked rudeness. I did not just barge into the pub I popped my head round the door to ask a question. I apologized as I hadn 't quite realized they were closed as you can 't really see in through the door. Also to barefaced lie and tell me she was just a chef? Having been a few times I very well know she is the land lady. It 's ok if you can 't help me but just be polite or at the very least civil. Absolutely disgusted and certainly will not be back. So disappointing as the pub used to be so welcoming a few years ago, we used to go a lot. Local businesses need all the support they can get right now so why on earth would you treat people like this?"

"We reserved a table for our daughter's 10th birthday, and on the day of our visit, they were able to accommodate an additional guest. We were seated at a lovely area that felt like our own small private party. The three-course meal was delightful and reasonably priced, and they even provided birthday cakes for us. The staff was fantastic, especially our waiter, who went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. We had two children and a 6-week-old baby with us, and he assisted us with a cheerful smile, even cleaning up some milk that had spilled on the floor from our stroller. His help made our visit excellent. Thank you!"
