Lovely country pub that makes a great stop after a walk through the surrounding countryside. Have never eaten there but they have a decent bar with some nice beers on tap. There's parking, picnic tables and a nice play area in the garden for younger children with a pirate themed boat to climb on. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
Lovely food but the service was a bit lacking. The staff all seemed very young and inexperienced. The dining experience was akin to a cafe lunch rather than a nice meal out. The service didn't do justice to the food quality. I was hoping for something that felt more special.
Food was so fresh home cooked and well presented pie of the day and pan fried liver and bacon was delicious deserts tasty and well presented will definitely be returning . Staff were attentive and the pub has a lovely warm friendly atmosphere I suggest booking table before hand .
Lovely place to visit, fish and chips were fantastic. Once you've been you'll definitely go again.
Overall the starters were very good in flavour, though there was nowhere near enough chutney so by half way through we were left eating only dry bread and pate which was a little dissapointing. Time for mains, My Posh Kebab and burger were very nice. The Posh Kebab was presented well and the flavours were full and enjoyable. My only slight critisim was the salmon, though tasty was a bit overdone and dry, mopping up some of the yoghurt helped though. I would advise this portion size of the kebab is a little smaller than I would want for a main, more of a light lunch size. I would reccomend adding a side of fries at the very least so I was glad to have ordered the burger too. The Moon Burger was meaty, moist and thoroughly enjoyable. The bacon on it was thick cut (not the usual paper thin rashers you tend to get these days) and cooked to a perfection. The beef was coarse, well seasoned, and had a real good bite with a nice amount of caramelisation on the outside. Given the choice I would have had it cooked slightly rarer but it was good none the less.. Coleslaw was crisp, and fresh as were the fries. The only real down side was the board it was served on. Food served on bits of wood look great on Instagram but it is a real pet hate of mine and in this case the board was so slim I had food falling off all over the place. I transfered it all over to the plate once my kebab was finished, eating a juicy burger trying to catch any drips on such a small area would have been messy at best. On to the fish pie my wife ordered. Now this was a massive dissapointment. At £18.95 Expectations were high. There was a severe lack of fish with just a few small prawns, the taste was very bland and even with adding salt throughout it just lacked any flavour. There was the slightest hint of celeriac and little carrot in the mash which was dry and not creamy at all. The depth of the dish it was served in was very shallow, and any white sauce there was in the mix was watery. The dish was not visually appealing at all. The seasonal vegetables were mangetout, broccoli and green beans, all very overdone, limp with no seasoning, again flavourless. As we were not asked how the food was and couldn't get the eye of a server my wife perservered and ate it rather than wait for a possible offer of a replacement. Desserts were a bit on the confusing side. My hot chocolate was luke warm and the 'crushed' biscoff was not crushed just the whole biscuit plonked on the top. Rather difficult to eat with or without the spoon and the only option was to get my fingers in to pick it up (good job it wasn't hot after all) very watery taste too. Maybe toasting the marshmallows would have been a nice touch. The sticky toffee pudding was nothing to write home about, a bit on the stodgy side if anything . The vanilla ice cream was average. This is my wifes favourite go to pudding if on a menu but not one we would order again here. The brownie was very rich and indulgent but again a shift from the menu in that the 'vanilla' ice cream was not vanilla but some sort of salted/honeycomb type offering. Nice ice cream but not what the menu said. Apart from the texture of the brownie being a bit to pasty for me it was enjoyable. Overall the service was polite and friendly, though a little more attention in asking if everything is ok early in the meal would improve this experience rather than after the food had been eaten. The Pecking Orders Final Verdict A perfectly pleasant country pub with some decent offerings. A little over priced and under delivered on some dishes but for a everyday meal we would go back to try more of the menu. Perhapse not one for a special occassion based on this visit. Sticking to or advising of changes/missing items on the menu would be preferable and being asked if everything was ok before we had finished each course would have been nice. A small discount for the fish pie would have also been appreciated.
