A beautiful proper country pub! Fantastic food and service! The bangers and mash were absolutely incredible! Really lovely cosy atmosphere - I'd recommend!

Really enjoyed our visit here. The food was excellent and the service really good. Parking was a little confusing as it's not signposted (that I could see) - you can park on the road or there's very limited parking just to the left as you turn into the pub's grounds.
It was a cosy and inviting experience on a windy and damp January.

My goodness what a find. Friends were staying locally and we had lunch. My friend's husband has an allergy to garlic. Nothing was too much trouble. He had crown of duck and his wife and I had a shared platter of game. Plus a rare pudding for me, Burnt Northumberland cream and cinnamon roll bread and butter pudding for friend's husband.
The atmosphere was friendly, as we're the staff. The food was cooked outside so it took the time for the dishes to be cooked to perfection.
It is a place to get excellent quality food at a reason price. Not you cheap and cheerful pub grub.
What a treat.

Outstanding Sunday lunch! What a lovely little pub. Very welcoming, friendly & attentive staff. Great portion sizes and top quality food. Could not find a fault. 100% recommend, we will definitely return!

Lovely pub. Limited beers on draft. In warmer months there’s a pop up pizzeria which does lovely food.

Had Sunday lunch, which was great. Starter of pork loin cut very thin, served cold with accompaniments.
The roast beef melted in your mouth.
Had profiteroles to finish, lovely filling of blueberry cream but choux pastry was very hard which was disappointing after such a great meal.

I would love to give this 5 stars all round but despite being one of the best Sunday lunches taste and quality wise, it was let down by being on the cool side. The food arrived being held with cloths suggesting piping hot plates, they were just warm and the meat and veg were the same. The quality and flavour was however most excellent and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

We popped in early morning to grab a hot breakfast after camping out, excellent service, clean cozy portions were on the smaller side BUT the black pudding was 🥰. And the speed in which the staff got food and drinks to the table was rapid like I've never seen before 💪🏻. Definitely be visiting again.
