Perhaps a little basic as a country pub experience, but the food is great and good value. Absolutely loved the belly pork, pizza was great too. Price point left me feeling we had good value for money. Second time visiting, had an amazing steak cooked for me about a year ago, so think the consistency of food is good too. Beers and drinks good too.

Firstly, important to say this is being written late August 2023. Things can change quickly in the pub trade! Great to see this traditional pub still trading and offering food. I'm told (but haven't first hand experience) that Sunday lunches here are superb and the pub is busy. Meals are also served evenings. I visited a Thursday afternoon for a swift pint. Only 2 other customers who soon left so the pub was very quiet indeed lacking atmosphere. However I was made very welcome by the bar guy and my pint of real ale was good value and nice tasting. Front door was open, music playing but 2 signs in same front window - one stating open the other closed! I'd passed by a previous Tuesday when the pub was still closed at 3pm. When I asked about opening times the answer was vague - basically variable between about noon and 2pm weekdays. In my view sticking to published opening times is an absolute must to avoid customer dissatisfaction. It will build regular trade in the long term. To conclude I wish the owner and staff well. They have a nice village pub which deserves to succeed but need to consider the above.

Great local find. Friendly and welcoming staff to us and our dog. Good real ale on tap with Charnwood Brewers Vixen but more to my taste was the Blue Monkey Pale ale, which was delicious 😋 didn't eat so couldn't rate but will update when we do as menu looked good.

Well all I can say is look at the picture and as you walk in if the smell doesn’t put you off eating there then the staff will as I felt they really didn’t want us to eat telling us they had stopped serving at 4:30m when it clearly says food is served 12pm till 5pm but all in all do not waste your money 👍

Great food here, a great chef making everything from scratch at very reasonable prices...we tried deep fried brie, luxurious prawn cocktail, fresh battered fish, chips and mushy peas and an anchor burger with pulled pork, what's not to like...we arrived on a Wednesday, student night I think, a little noisy but we just moved inside where it was quiet. We received a lovely welcome from the owner and the young team supporting him, staff were very enthusiastic but need a bit of time to develop their knowledge and rhythm waiting on tables of food while the pub is busy. We've already booked for Sunday dinner....looking forward to it.
