"We ordered a bottle of pink Prosecco but received the wrong kind, and when I asked for a pint of soda water, I ended up with just a half. The waitress had exceptionally long fingernails, which made it difficult for her to carry the plates, and the cutlery provided was incorrect—we had to specify what we needed. For my meal, I ordered trout, which looked and tasted remarkably like salmon. My wife ordered scampi and chips, but it arrived dripping with oil and was very unappetizing; she couldn't eat it and sent it back. Our friends ordered chicken supreme, but it came on the bone with a sauce that resembled chicken soup. Overall, it wasn't a great experience, and I doubt we’ll return. I dislike leaving negative reviews, but the staff clearly need more training, and I hope this feedback can help them improve. On a positive note, I must mention that the pub area downstairs looked cozy and inviting, complete with a large fireplace and comfortable seating. We would have preferred to just stop in for a drink there instead."

"Great little pub, quirky with its rustic look, food very good service freindly and unhurried. Has its own car park. Good selection of drinks. Does bed and breakfast at a reasonable cost. Vegetarian options: I am sure they can provide vegetarian options Parking: There is parking for about 7 cars directly outside but 50 yards further up the road there is more off road parking available. Kid-friendliness: Staff are helpful however no kids facilities like play area however you would need to enquire. Wheelchair accessibility: Possible to enter by side entrance. May be difficult to negotiate mobility of wheelchair once inside. Is not disabled freindly for overnight stays"

"Visited just after new year, we were regulars for about 3 years, food and drink , could not believe how grubby the place was at this visit , it did not start well as the barman did not know what a rum and black was !!??... what was worse was the smell of damp mould hit you when you walked in, we did order drinks and went into both rooms, in the rear room there were very small children running around , one with a dirty nappy.. which the parents seemed oblivious to ..we left our drinks and went , a shame as we used to enjoy it there"

"Dreadful place avoid it !! Rude chef who decided to engage in a tirade slagging off paying customers when asked if a slight change to a dish could be made (perfectly prepared to pay extra) dark dingy hole, needs a lesson in customer service . Doing so well on a Friday, only 2 customers in entire place and can afford to disrespect customers really ?!!! When this place goes to the wall they will have been the authors of their own misfortune. Arrogant and amateur Needs a visit from Gordon Ramsay. No clue! Despicable place !!"

"Visited for first time for my father in law 's 90th birthday. Becky, Ruby and team were extremely helpful, the food was excellent and good value! and the 'birthday boy ' really enjoyed it. We 'd travelled 200+ miles to be there, and had to arrange a 'secret ' celebration, based only on location, and web reviews, so it was a great relief to find that everything was so perfect. We 've rarely encountered a venue where there is such a sense of a staff team all working together, and offering really tasty, reasonably priced food. Thoroughly recommended!"
