Venue great, lovely outside area with lots of picnic tables. Food in general is good,BUT, there isn't any chicken on the menu, as a non red meat eater and the quality of the pork is poor and not really wanting fish for Sunday dinner I found the choose rather limited. But everything else is great, and the young girls serving are polite and efficient.

Food babies likely<br>If you have three courses, generous portions, a bit heavy on deep frying. Or perhaps it was just our choices. But I was relieved the ice cream was not deep fried! Beautiful setting, good service. A little echoing for a large group, as noise can increase off bare walls. Lovely gardens.

Brilliant outdoor dining area with massive space for kids to blow off steam. Great food, on the pricey side but when you factor in the facilities and setting it's actually decent value.

Went here for a drink half way around a walk. Very smart pub with a lovely garden and a good range of beer. Didn't try the food but the menu looked good.

Highly recommended for the excellent quality of the food. The bread served warm and in a bag. Nice little touch. The starters were served quickly. The Lamb was excellent and so were the garlic mushrooms. Our group had the roast beef and the pork. A great Sunday roast. Huge Yorkshire puddings. The vegetables were great. I liked that extra gravy was served with your food. The only reason I did not mark 5 out of 5. Was the huge variation of service. From one waitress being excellent to others that were very poor. That however didn't effect our meal but was very noticeable.

We were a large group on a summer office trip. Beautiful pub, lovely garden. Good choice of wines and beers at the bar. We found the dining room a bit hot (mid summer warm evening) and with a large group the room we were in was a bit loud due to lots of bare walls, so people had to raise voices to compete to be heard.
The food was generous to a fault; with 3 courses, after wine and beer we were all stuffed, almost uncomfortably, so no complaints on portion size as some have said. The food arrived quickly, hot and was tasty enough. I noticed however that many of the meals were deep fried, with breadcrumb crusts; perhaps it was chance on our choices, but it felt like the chef had a deep fat fryer for Christmas and was eager to show it off!
With generous portions, deep fried there were many calories. My whitebait was deep fried in breadcrumbs, crispy and tasty. My duck was breadcrumbed and deep fried, big portion, getting repetitive, but thankfully the chocolate and ice cream pudding was not battered or deep fried. I would go back, and choose more carefully, avoiding deep fried.
On a sunny warm evening, with friends and preferably a driver, hard to beat.

Great food (average price range for main £12) and a great big garden for the kids to work off that energy.

Firstly, the pub and grounds are really lovely. And the area the pub is situated is in a gorgeous part of England. Fair selection of beers and a huge beer garden to use during the warm months. I was very impressed.
We went to eat there on a Saturday night mid June. The food on the menu was very appealing and we were excited with the menu choices. Although the food was nice in my opinion it is slightly overpriced. My sirloin steak although cooked as I asked and indeed juicy and tender was not very big and for £22 I expected a larger cut. My wife's bream nicoise was also very good but again the portion size not great.Did it spoil our visit? Well considering we came from London we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. But i would reiterate portion sizes could have been better.
Total bill for 4 adults as follows: 3 drinks each, starter main and dessert £230. It depends on your view as to whether that's a fair price but ultimately we were in a pub even if it was a posh one and that's why I thought the bill a tad OTT.
To finish I would go there again, even if just for a drink as the setting is lovely.

Went with friends for Sunday roast and was blown away. Lovely surroundings, excellent service and the best roast for miles. Melt in the mouth pink roast beef with crispy roasties with fluffy insides, a massive yorkie, generous serving of parsnips, carrots, cabbage and leeks. Delicious gravy-extra jug provided without having to ask & pokey horseradish. For those not wanting roast there are big meal alternatives and interesting sarnies. Lovely garden to chill out in. Lived up to it's excellent reputation.

Wonderful - had a nice drink in the huge garden then went for a walk around the beautiful town and the fields behind the pub garden. Great for kids as there is a climbing frame and a good big open space to run around. Highly recommended it!
