Excellent pub. Food reasonably priced as is the wine. That means a couple of sandwiches/baguettes and chips and a bottle of wine for �25. Not bad for nowadays. We used the area to the left as you walk in, there are some sofas where they are happy to serve food if there is a lack of tables. Have now been several times.

went here last year. It was comedy at the the bar, a lone eastern european chap was barely coping with the lunchtime rush. fortunately we were not in a hurry and ordered some food which did take an hour to arrive but was actually acceptable. mind you it takes a bit to cock up a ploughmans and a mushroom stroganoff. poked head in the door the other day - looks like same management. Shame because it's a nice pub in a lovely setting. The garden is scruffy and needs some attention.

Recently a new landlord. Came from the Crown at Sydenham. He has a fairly unique disposition. I have eaten here a couple of times but although the thai green curry was excellent I was disappointed to discover it was bought in. I read in the Parish Magazine that the �5 lunch special was back by popular demand. I ordered the sausage and yorkshire. Landlord's response was 'Oh it's that time of the week then is it?'. Good attitude (not). Obviously I'd be spending not just �5 but also having 2 glasses of wine and a dessert or cheese. i.e. �21 in total. Or I would if I ever went back which is not likely. He will drive the customers away eventually.

Lovely pub, excellent setting, good service. All the staff are very friendly. On first visit had Pigeon �10.50 - marvellous; on second visit had burger �11.50 not such good value. Nevertheless this will not stop me visiting again. Will just be more careful what I choose from the menu next time.

Go often. Bar Staff and Landlady very friendly. Beers and wine good selection. Food OK. Landlord is a prick. Get a personality sunshine and get that chip off your shoulder.
