| Clearly a popular inn especially with families, serving slightly above-average old school pub food. The service and the building are first rate, and much else is 'good enough to offend no-one', including the Morland Original. Rating is a little high in my view, but also we could imagine sitting outside on a warm summer's day and being very content. richythemole - 19 Feb 2014 06:56 |
| Being in a country pub with good food, good beer and a welcoming atmosphere that hasn't had a Farrow and Ball gastro makeover made me smile. Smile a lot in fact. Big portions (esp the whitebait starter) sorted me out properly, and a nice surprise was the "free top up" on the coffee. We tried to extend this to beer but failed :) This place doesn't need a makeover as it seems well liked and busy. Other similar pubs take note, and save on the interior design bills. lipster - 15 Jul 2012 18:59 |
| Food was good, however they mixed up the wine order, beer was in good condition - nice place for a quiet family evening, got the impression the staff want to make you feel welcome. ukbarfly - 25 Oct 2011 15:59 |
| Visited for a family lunch recently. The food was very good, the service was excellent. The pub is a far cry from the place it was 25 years ago when it was a regular drinking haunt. Still has the water-cooled jackets on the casks behind the bar, but the beer (Greene King IPA and Morland Original) is mediocre I am afraid. metrology_man - 9 Aug 2010 09:05 |
| Excellent pub run by hardworking folk who deserve to do well. Always a really warm welcome. Beers kept well and nice choice. Food is simple, but quality ingredients, very well cooked. Steaks good, salad fresh. Ham, Eggs & Chips wonderful. Who could ask for more from a small country pub? Will keep going back and recommending to others. VillageResident - 22 Oct 2009 15:10 |
