Waited for 15 mins at bar to get served with drinks...there's a beam and two ladies behind bar neither thought about checking if we would like a drink.strange being a pub.also we sat at a table and thought about having a meal but the manager was talking to the couple on the next table but never thought about clearing our table.

We love this place for a Sunday pint, either in the lovely large garden or by the cosy gorgeous fire. Dog friendly and nice staff. Be nice to have some more vegan options on the menu. Lovely old traditional pub in a beautiful setting. Gets busy on Sundays so advise to book.

Great Sunday roast. Really tasty. Friendly service. Only downside is that the desserts were disappointing. Still, I’d recommend a visit and would like to return.

When served the food was good but although told we had to wait 20 minutes for the pie it was more like 3/4 hr. We didnt have time to wait for dessert. Friendly service but too slow.

Enjoyed a delicious roast this afternoon at this lovely country pub. Our meal was well presented, tasty and hot. Friendly & efficient service. We'll definitely be back. Would highly recommend.

Lovely pub, pizza oven in the garden in summer, fireworks in November. Very nice food, and brew their own delicious beer (sister site in Ingham).

Went earlier in the summer and the food was excellent and service top notch, tried again recently and whilst the food was still very good little things let it down, certain items being slightly over done, fat not rendered down enough on the pork and asking twice for a bottle of water yet it never materialised etc.

They were very busy and probably a little rushed so would be happy to try it again a third time.

Overall a good solid dinning experience, just let down by little things

Staying locally and read the reviews but they didn’t do it justice. Atmosphere and welcome was first class, food was out of this world. The chicken and bacon pie was amazing as was the battered haddock. The service was probably the best I’ve had to date, all the staff were young but so focused on customer service that they are all a credit to the management. Would highly recommend but make sure you book as they get very busy.

Lovely place in the middle of nowhere. Surroundings are amazing.
Good range on the menu and very nice food.
Also was a pizza food van outside if needed.
Outside bar
Not too badly priced for the area.
Would visit again when in the area

Can't speak more positively about this place. Great family atmosphere, great garden, bar both inside and out, pizza outside, great food and a lovely setting. It just seems to have everything.
On a side note, and this is not a dig, more a concern. A few times being there for 4 hours or so, the lovely dog is tied next to the fireplace on a small bed. Doesn't have the freedom to go outside and seems to be ignored a lot for hours on end. Just a few weeks ago i was there for at least 5 hours enjoying drinks outside and then later a meal inside, and he was only taken outside for all of about 3 minutes. If I'm wrong I apologise but that's what I saw.

Just went for a beer was a great pub

Brilliant location, food is a limited menu in my opinion so not everyone ate in our party, but still excellent quality food, i would like to emphasise that, those of use that ate had 0 complaints about, and brilliant atmosphere. I only give 4 stars as they don't except cash and if your paying by phone the mobile signal is hit and miss.
Still worth visiting and a lovely garden in the back.
P.s, there is a stream at the back so excellent place to bike to or walk

Nice building in a nice setting. There is a nice lawn at the back with a play area. But (and perhaps only to me is this a But) it is definitely a restaurant with a bar rather than a pub that serves food
