"From start to finish this was an amazing stay. Jon contacted us before we arrived to chat about arrangements for our son, and when we arrived we received such a warm welcome Jon and the team made an effort to learn our names and doted on our 3 year old who was very spoilt. Dinner was incredible, the cocktails were amazing and the mulled cider was just perfect next to the lit fire. The room was very clean and comfortable and the bath in the room was really cute! Breakfast was hands down the best smashed avocado I’ve EVER had. The team at breakfast were so lovely and friendly. Jon has built an impeccable team for the pub they’re all super friendly, chatty , attentive and honestly the whole place is brilliant. The homemade biscuits were gorgeous! We will definitely be back thank you for such a great stay!"

"I feel as though the positive reviews on service must be false… such a shame to have to avoid the only pub in the village for fear of being verbally accosted from the moment you walk in. The landlady is just incomprehensibly rude, dismissive and just plain unpleasant… to everyone?! It’s like an airport, when it’s your only choice, you sometimes have to go there. Although I do AVOID this place at all costs. You are fairly safe if you just get a drink and find yourself a corner, but even then… and god forbid you ask a simple question, want to order food, want to book a table, turn up for your reservation (on time! , want some sugar for your coffee… READ THE REVIEWS, it’s all true… if you want an insane experience (a real life Karen’s Diner…? then feel free to try it out. If you want a nice evening out, afternoon drink… avoid!"

"Unfortunately not a great choice of beers. To eat, we ordered pork souvlaki and lamb chop as main courses 14 each). The pork was supposed to be marinated but came out pretty dry and tasteless. Not a big portion either (2 small-ish skewers). The tzatziki...was watery and hardly tasted of garlic. The salad was mainly limp iceberg lettuce with a watery yogurt dressing on pretty tasteless as well. The chips were good and the pitta was warm. But overall very bland and basic for the prices. The lamb chop was purely fatty and grizzly, there was hardly any proper meat on it. It had a very strong taste and seemed a very cheap cut. Vegetables served with the lamb were OK but again pretty cheap-tasting. Chopped-up, oily aubergine is a bit of an odd choice for a veg side dish, though. Service wasn't brilliant, either, we had to remind them twice to bring the tap water we had asked for with our other drinks. Nobody came and asked if we wanted any sauces (ketchup) or how or meal was, not even at the end when we paid. For those prices, I would have expected a relatively decent meal (not just made up of cheap ingredients) and half-way decent table service. The descriptions of the dishes on the specials board sound great and sophisticated, but unfortunately they don't live up to the hype. I only saw after our visit (on their Facebook page) that they are looking for a new chef. I wish I had known that before. I wouldn't go again, unfortunately. Ah yes, the table surface was sticky, too. No Covid measures in place whatsoever."

"We visited this restaurant for a family breakfast on Sunday morning, and it was fantastic! The food was amazing, featuring locally sourced ingredients, with delicious eggs, sausage, and bacon. The coffee was great as well—I really can’t tolerate bad coffee! The service was impeccable; the staff working that morning were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was wonderful, and we’ve always enjoyed this pub. We definitely plan on coming back for breakfast again—it was delicious!"
