| Pretty pub, friendly staff, good choice of beer but let down badly by mediocre food. The two meals took 50 minutes to arrive despite there being only about a dozen customers on a quiet Monday lunchtime. Chips were absolutely saturated in oil and looked like they'd been cooked at far too low a temperature and for too long. This is pretty basic stuff, yes ? The home-made chicken, bacon and mushroom pie was quite stingy on these contents, the bulk of it consisting of what I can only describe as gloop. The pastry lid appeared to have been frozen and reheated - not so much flaky but more the consistency of damp cardboard. I love a good pie but this was such a disappointment. Not all bad though - the peas and broccoli were cooked well and not overdone. The food used to be OK a few years ago - not great, but OK. But that was then. It seems to have gone downhill in recent years. This is a nice pub to stop off for a pint on a country walk. But I doubt I'll eat there again. RF999 - 24 May 2010 16:38 |
| This used to be quite a lovely country pub that even had a well maintained miniature railway in the garden that included a tunnel and points ! It has now become a tawrdy restaurant orientated pub catering for young couples who do not yet know any better or stressed family groups and ... the railway has been dug up and dismantled. The restaurant promises 'traditonal English faYre (be warned !) but delivers standardised food with an accountant's eye for profit margin and owes more to cost benefit analysis than it does to any vocational skills in the kitchen. It does, however have one redeeming feature - the seats in the patio area are very comfortable with arms and a lovely rake on the back rest - so if you do go to this pub, go in the summer, don't eat anything but take your drink onto the patio and enjoy the beuatiful sunshine there. zoomy - 16 Apr 2010 12:21 |
| The worst Sunday roast I have ever been served, even the kids meals were terrible. Only paid for the drinks. agl - 26 Nov 2009 17:44 |
| Average food, mostly out of the freezer. Very poor chips. Reasonable setting. Service average. goodoldboy - 3 Nov 2008 09:19 |
| Under new management, this atmospheric rural pub has a lovely garden and good eating facilities. Greene King IPA is excellent. Service is perhaps a little slow but for me this is compensated for by the obvious attention to detail and a keenness to please and do a professional job. CliffordAlls - 30 Aug 2008 18:46 |
