Having been a long time visitor to this pub on and off for 35 years It's amazing how quickly such a long relationship can be ruined by apalling service, unedible food with a slug in it, and completely unconcerned management.

Trading solely on theorposition, this pub deserves to be given a widfe berth. There are so many better, pleasant and less expensive places to enjy some good food.

Avoid at all costs.

This used to be a lovely pub and have been there for a roast many a Sunday and have been very happy. I however went there on Saturday and was sorely let down. I ordered a burger and at £10 you'd expect something of a reasonable standard. The burger received i managed 3 mouthfuls of before giving up. Each mouthful was pure gristle, not a pleasant experience and the waitresses were kind enough to offer me an alternative but i felt quite queazy i couldn't contemplate eating anything else. This was all forgivable except when we came to pay the bill the burger was still showing. So I said to the barman we were paying that this was inedible and had been returned. He retorted in a very condescending manner that he had tried the burger and that it was perfectly edible. He made me feel so stupid and that he was doing me a favour by taking it off the bill.

Other people were also complaining about their food so it wasn't jut me eg an uncooked baked potato.

Has this pub changed hands or have they just got lazy and trading off their reputation?

Quite a nice location and very friendly, but expensive for both drink and food. Harveys well-kept.

I dont understand the negative reviews here.I had a lovely day with friends at this pub and found it nothing but a joy. Set in lovely surroundings with a little water way runing through the gardens and a BBq on Saturdays. As for the food , my friends and I are vegetarians ,we am constantly disappointed by the ubiquitous 'nut roast and pasta dishes' that seem to pollute every pub menu. Its a pleasure to find a country pub that considers vegetarians . I had a lovely Mediteranian stilton pastry parcel that was divine served with new potatoes that were sweet and lovely. My friends had the same and were equally impressed . We felt that it was ony appropriate to thank the head chef in person ,he was more than happy to listen to our opinions. We will be going back . Cooking meat is basic , cave men did it.. Decent ,flilling and tasty vegetarian food is an art.. Keep it up.
