Visited this weekend, even better than last time. I think the food is really good and a lot better than other pubs in the area. I didn't think it was expensive, well compared to witherspoons maybe yes, but this is real food.

Recomended.

The range of beers is disappointing...and the food is very expensive.

My husband and I visited The Trusty Servant with our children on Sunday 3rd May.
What a beautiful pub this is, in a picture post card setting.
We all ate the Sunday roast which was delicious and beautifully cooked. The menu was extensive and the food coming out of the kitchen looked yummy!! Our children can be fussy eaters but even they polished off their plates!
The service was second to none and we will, with out doubt, be back in the future.

A few weeks ago I visited with my children for lunch. I was impressed by the menu and thought it was a nice touch that the children eat off the main menu but with kid’s portions. I felt it was preferable to a kids menu and it was nice not to see turkey dinosaurs and fish fingers for a change!

We sat on the decked area outside the bar which was nice for the children as there’s plenty of space outside for them to run around whilst they’re waiting for their food.

We only had snacky food from the lunchtime menu but will happily come back for a full evening meal and I’m definitely going to recommend it to friends.

We visited this pub over the bank holiday weekend and had a lovely time. We came here two years ago and things had changed dramatically.......for the better we thought.

For starters my wife ordered grilled goats cheese dish and I had Parma ham with figs, both starters were top quality. Good clean flavours and modern presentation.

Main courses where Butternut squash and I opted for the burger, again both very good, the burger wasn’t your bog standard frozen jobbie, it was the real deal full of meat and juicy with melted cheese covering the top with a fresh salad on the other half of the bun.
The Squash dish was a butternut squash cut in half filled with sauté potatoes and wild mushrooms, it looked fantastic even for a vegetarian dish.

Deserts where no disappointment either, I had a crumble and we ordered a peanut butter parfait as well, out of curiosity really. The Parfait was a delight, it tasted like a snickers ice cream and was topped with honey comb dipped in chocolate my only criticism is it could have been bigger, although it was quite rich. The crumble was nice, fresh vanilla gave it a touch of class, very good.

We finish our meal with coffee and sat in the garden before visiting the church near by and a beautiful forest walk after.

Will definitely go back and look forward to the next visit.

8/10
