Stumble on this little pub whilst out for a drive, its located down a side road and you can miss it if you are looking for a pub type building. At a glance it looks like a converted house, but it is a traditional country pub, with original beams and stone flagged floors and sort of retains its oldey worldy charm. I wouldn't list this as a gastro pub, but more a pub that serves food, the food is nice but lacks the standard that we are all coming to expect when dining out, but as I said this is a pub that serves food. It has won awards and recently came fifth in a pub review. What I like about this establishment is that it does look like the old pubs that our parents used to take you to, where you played outside in the garden or sat in the car if wet, sipping on cola and munching on crisps, whilst they where inside having thier drinks, where the garden umbrellas weren't advertising the local brewery but looked like they were sponsored by Walls ice cream, pure nostalgia.
The beer selection is mainly local real ales, which is nice, but serve the usual mainstream brands as well, food is as I mentioned, I opted for a chicken and bacon carbonara, which was edible, but they seemed to have replaced the creamy texture with a watery sauce, although the chicken chasseur seemed to keep to its description.
They also run a BBQ on Sunday's from May through to September, weather permitting, which I expect is very popular on hot sunny days.
The pub is run by a very nice couple who are friendly and chatty as is what you would expect from this type of pub. read more
