Did not stay there. Had a great Lamb Shank. Before its banned. So don't know what the rooms are. Probably wonderful. I already reviewed it. But Google. Must require another. Google is such a demanding spy.
We stopped overnight in our motorhome. The staff were very welcoming and the food was very reasonable and tasty. Good selection of beers. Will definitely visit again 👍
What a great country pub. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed every minute. The staff and locals are friendly and welcoming. The food is particularly great, very tasty, ample portions and plenty of choice. The sticky toffee pudding made by the young apprentice chef is particularly excellent - even though I don’t usually usually eat puddings, ate half of my wife's, much to her annoyance 🤣 Breakfasts has lots of tasty choices. The Sunday night pizzas are also great. The bar has a wide choice of drinks and the room we had was large and comfortable. Without doubt next time we're in the area, this will be our first choice of place to stay. 5 stars all round.
A proper, proper pub. Knows what it is, and does it excellently. No pretentiousness, and quite different to some of the more ‘gastro’ pubs nearby. Lovely setting in the heart of Semley. We had a good, filling meal before a long drive home!
Randomly just looked at Google and saw I left a review when my mate and I came in and got blitzed. I didn't add any reason why i rated it so high so I'm doing it now. Was an amazing night they had a karaoke. Staff are very attentive and didnt mind chatting with us when we got bored abusing everyone's ears with karaoke. We ordered steak which was just amazing. Definitely can't wait until i find my self back up semley for another visit.
