About us

Steeped in history, The Dragonfly sits in an area of great significance to the ancient Celtic people. The pub was formerly known as The Celtic Springs, referring to a sacred spring to the east of the inn. To its north sits another enchanted site, the infamous Witching Tree, a tree which Celtic myth states has people trapped within it.

A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

Nice place, but the service was given could do with some help in people skills these three men all need to work together not against each other in all aspects on running a restaurant. Also, sort out the desserts their called the flower pot/ honey bees are lacking in something, and the presentation needs adjustments. The beef burger was excellent five stars.

Nothing was great and there is much that needs improving. The service was extremely slow. We waited over fifteen minutes to be asked what drinks we wanted, so we ordered our food at the same time. The food took a further thirty minutes to arrive and in all honesty, if we hadn’t waited so long and didn’t have a hungry four year old with us I would have sent it all back. We did ask our server TWICE for crayons for our four year old and she forgot!! Another server kindly got them in the end. The child’s pizza was mostly hard and could not be cut as was the garlic bread he had as a side order. He couldn’t eat about half of it. My lasagne was okay but my laughably named side salad consisted of ONE thin slice of cucumber, one thin slice of a small tomato and the rest was about half a dozen leaves of lettuce - pathetic!! My husband’s fish and chips were very overcooked. The chunky chips were dark brown (overcooked) the fish batter had lumps of salt dried on it, the batter was also slimy in parts and overcooked in others and to top it all, the fish itself was grey!! I believe all the meals were firstly cooked and then left under a heat lamp for a very long time. However, we did complain to yet another server who kindly took the price of the child’s pizza off. We have been here a few times in the past and we’ve noticed the food and service has declined significantly. We certainly will not be rushing back.

Very good experience. The place was welcoming, clean and very well maintained. Had gone for an evening meal and ordered a starter, drink and mains. Not expensive - value for money. They do serve alcohol, have seen kids. Also have few parking places. Must recommend.

Appearance of a food and a pictures are good, but... they using ready products, cheap quality like bun served with lasagne is simply frozen dough from any supermarket ready to bake. Going through meals I did kinda liked the taste but lasagne was bland, same with arancini, topping it up that between main meal and dessert I was waiting almost 40minutes, and waiter had time to walk around and whistle his favourite songs, place looks like no-one cares, things are outdated, dirty. I thought dessert will save it but no, spent £30 and not happy at all. Even haven't heard appolegies for wait, just simple excuse "I didn't know you were ready" when I've put my all dishes together to the corner of the table, sat with literally nothing in there waiting, it was quiet in restaurant (Wed 13:00). Putting it short, semi ready products, dirty place, lack of interest, unprofessional behaviour. I've used to order from there through delivery app but knowing what's inside the restaurant, never gonna happen again. They must be based on a hotel next door customers who don't really have big choice in the area to go.

We had an excellent fine dining in very beautiful and friendly place. We got here almost by case from our trip from the coast to the Midlands and we were really pleased with the food and service. I had the Seared fillets of seabass and my wife the Beef and Chianti Casserole, two well presented and delicious dishes. I surely recommend and I hope I can come back soon.
