The Volunteer was extremely accommadating during my recent visit, friendly staff made a big effort to ensure my Mum's 50th was a birthday to remember. The food was excellent and the home made apple crumble was described as the best my Dad has ever tasted and he's not an easy man to please! Looking forward to our next visit!

Never have I sat in such a picturesque garden. Beautiful views complimented by great food and real ale. I will definitely be going back!

2nd visit to this pub and I have to say, what a let down compared to my first visit!
Excellent position and good ales, but dear oh dear, the food quality is really poor and expensive. I ordered a steak sandwich, with red onion chutney, chips and a tomato & mozzarella salad with a crusty roll and butter.
The salad arrived along with two pieces of dry "toasted" pieces of french bread - no butter no cutlery & no dressing.
The steak sandwich was a joke ! The "steak" was a couple of dried old pieces of beef, with char grill marks, but stone cold!Onion chutney was slices of red onion! This was £7.95.
They changed it when I complained and agreed it was unacceptable - Why serve it then!!
I ordered home made chix liver pate - This was again unbelievable!
Rammed into a little ramekin, no taste at all, no dressing, chutney, pickle & again no cutlery!
If you are going to serve food then serve it with a bit of pride and don't rip us off ! Won't be going back there again.

dropped in for a quiet pint and to say hello as i was new to the area.. No one else in the pub so i though excellent time to have a chat and find out what nights were good. But i was sicked to find the most unsocialable member of staff ever.. I tried to strike up a conversation to get no reply and to be ignored while the bargirl/person behind the bar was to busy chatting to the chef.. after 20 mins i left... dont think ill be visiting there again !

Arrived un-announced with a bunch of 18 walkers. They had no trouble coping with us and the food was served up in quick time. Pretty good stuff but nothing special. Nice badger beers on including tanglefoot and pickled partridge. Also had Harvey's sussex on. The place has a proper country pub feel to it with an open fire at one end and a cast iron job in the middle. Very nice bar staff.
