Went for a drink on a Sunday, absolutely packed with diners, but space for us. Super friendly bar staff and locals made to feel very welcome. Beer well kept, food looked fabulous. Will return.
Went for our Xmas Dinner with work, staff were lovely and the pub is beautiful. Food was nice but slightly over priced for what it is. I did really enjoy the evening though and will definitely go again.
My third visit in the past year. Consistently first class in every aspect. The menu. And food is unbelievable. The set price lunch is amazing value. If your an ale drinker try the ‘old leg over’.
Wow!! Amazing the culinary excellence is second to none the kitchen sent out amazing food, high quality restaurant standard in the comfort of a friendly warm open fire pub. Mussels starter was super tasty with fresh mussles. Prawn cocktail was average for me only because I like mine drowning in sauce. Duck main star of the show ✨️ superbly cooked best duck everrr! Cauliflower cheese side delicious! We never do dessert but just had to White Russian crème brûlé was devine with homemade shortbread and blueberries and syrup sponge amazing! We booked straight away for Sunday roast the next day and that did not disappoint. The staff were fantastic service was super fast we can't wait to visit again.
We booked lunch here from our home in the Netherlands after reading the reviews here and elsewhere. We headed here from the ferry. I can confirm it was well worth it. This was the best Sunday roast I've ever had in a restaurant. The staff were delightful and my only regret was not leaving room for one of the wonderful-looking desserts. I will return for the sticky toffee pudding. Criticisms? The car park is very cozy, but this old village wasn't built with cars in mind.
