Me and friend at the time sat in the garden, which Is like your house garden to be honest not a pub one. It had a children slide and another playset which you could get in Argos. I had Cream Tea for around £6ish, it was good, not the greatest I've ever had. Another visit, I came on a Sunday afternoon which was busy. Again a cosy small pub inside. I liked that they had Sunday papers to read while I enjoy a drink. I will return to try their food next time.

The decor is nicely done and clean, with two warming fireplaces, very comfortable chairs and very welcoming people working there. There are three real ales - one guest local ale (currently Tring Blonde). Also Greene King London Glory and IPA. There is an impressive food menu with very tasty freshly cooked imaginative dishes on offer. There is a light-bite type daytime menu and an a la carte for the daytime and evening. The quality of the food is as good as a posh London restaurant, the fish & chips (triple cooked chips!) is a favourite, as is the flatbread pizza, the Candlestick burger and the beef & ale pie. Good deserts, great coffee machine too. Can't fault it. On a nice footpath walking route and stunning scenery round about just the sort of place you want to midpoint after a walk in the country.

They have multiple outdoor seating options and a nice big indoor dining area as well. They have a nice selection of ales and lagers on tap. The food menu is also classic British pub food with a number of vegetarian options. Loved my sausage and mash with greens, it was delicious. The haloumi fries were divine and chips were well made. Friendly service and good presentation from the kitchen. Happily come here again for the amazing ambience, views and food.

We were greeted by a couple of really happy and smiley waitresses at the bar to take our order. Straight away on a chalk board clear to see was the free WiFi and the password, which was pretty cool I thought, rather than having to mooch around or ask for it! We opened a tab, no problem as we were going to be having something to eat. On the first round of drinks, my friend asked for a Tia Maria and coke, but they didn't have any Tia Maria in stock - but I can understand this - and offered her a Kaluha instead, which was just fine. We went and sat in the garden with the menu, but we were told that they were waiting on a delivery and therefore there was no salmon or chicken or something else...... It was no great dramas as actually what we wanted was something totally different, so I guess we were lucky. I could see you being a bit miffed if you were hell bent on having one of the other 3 things that were out of stock. Having said that, the charm and smiles made it so that you would be hard pushed to have the hump about anything really. I had a sausage and onion sandwich and asked them to out cheese in it - which they happily did - and my friend had a halloumi burger, both served with chips. Mine was lovely, served on granary bread, and had decent "posh" sausages and not the bulk purchase type you can get and had loads of flavour and my friend said hers was probably the best halloumi burger that she has ever had, quote "coming from a Turk that lives on this stuff, that is saying a lot!". Liked the fact you had sauce bottles and not sachets! + point :) Service was great, some scatty moments, decent pub lunch food, so all in all I will be going back here :) I looks like in the winter you would be fighting over the comfy sofas by the fire place that I spotted when I walked in!

Searched online and phoned this pub thinking we'd get the "sorry we're fully booked". Imagine my surprise when we were told that they have plenty of seating inside, may be a few outside tables but to be aware that there was a private function outside. Car park was full and we had to park on a verge, then navigate our way past the bar with jugs of Pimms (for the private party) and the bouncy castle (for the private party). The waitress found us a table at the back of the pub where some of the private party were but was away from the music and the noisy children. The waitress brought us the menus and asked if we'd like to order drinks and told us to order food at the bar. However, when she returned with our drinks, she took our food order. No doubt taking pity on the guy walking with sticks and the woman with her foot in a Barco boot! I haven't had a very big appetite since my foot surgery so opted for the halloumi and red pepper stack on ciabatta bread whilst my husband had the salmon. Have to say that the food was really nice! Felt that the waiting staff went out of their way to be helpful! Wasn't sure that I would want dessert but the passion fruit eton mess was tempting and husband was having nuttela gnocchi so, why not? Sometimes eton mess is really rich and sweet but can honestly say that the passion fruit eton mess had just the right mix of tart and sweetness, I highly recommend it! This pub might be in the middle of nowhere but the menu is good and the service excellent, and there's not many places where I've been able to say that!
