Great atmosphere, very good food and lovely good looking staff!…read more A quiet Monday evening but all the candles were lit. The local beer was good, there was no bloody TV and if there was music I can't recall it. Our dinner was delicious, I had the vegetarian bread pudding which was very unusual and got 10/10. I'm not a veggie but it sounded a great dish and boy did it deliver. not cheap but a great indulgent night out.

There was a big portion of well cooked vegetables, and the lamb leg was served sous vide and chargrilled. The beetroot was a nice surprise, well roasted. A delicious home made mint sauce sealed the deal for me. The starter was an usual choice for me, tataki sea bass which was a sashimi style thing. Very delicate and flavoured with coriander and sesame oil. Three courses was probably too much for me, but I tucked it all away regardless. It was £21.50 for three courses, which is a generous price for that amount of quality food. The pud was brownie with whipped cream, fruit and nuts and chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I'm still stuffed full now three hours later. The village is very idyllic, reminded me of the place where the Vicar of Dibley was set. I'll go there again and again without doubt. I'd love to stay in one of the rooms too. 10/10.

The staff were attentive and friendly and the food hit the spot - nicely presented and cooked well. The platter of prosciutto we shared as a starter was generous and the freshly made bread was excellent - I could have eaten more! My steak was a little on the well-done side of medium, but I'm not complaining. Altogether a very satisfying meal. A couple of real ales on tap - though not, for some reason, pulled at the bar; are the pumps for decoration? A log fire smouldering nicely at one end of the room. Enough fellow diners and drinkers to create a relaxed atmosphere. Altogether, a pleasant evening. I remember this pub as having a huge car park in the past, but this has been developed for housing so, if you drive into the car park you'll probably find yourself doing a three point turn and parking on the road.

The carvery meat was not cooked properly I did tell the chef but all he done was turn the meat around so nobody could see the pink pork! Yuck! The staff didn't have a clue who had ordered what are where going round to every table asking if anybody had ordered certain foods! I thought the new manager was very rude! I won't be returning again, The new manager has even pushed away everyday drinkers/eaters from this pub such a shame as this pub used to be the heart of the village!
