This place was an absolute godsend! Gorgeous setting,…read morefriendly staff and OMG food!!!!!! We were staying nearby and had researched this place on Tripadvisor so knew the locality to the hotel had v little to offer. We booked a table on Saturday afternoon for dinner Saturday evening 8pm. We battled the snow for the short drive and loved the initial view of the pub from the road. We received a warm greeting from the Landlord Rob and felt like we'd stepped back in time. They had a roaring fire on and a very busy dining area with delightful smells wafting our way. There was a good choice of hand pull beer and lager and the staff were actually stood polishing the glasses! We sat in the bar area while our table came free and exchanged a bit of chat with the landlord and locals. The decor is very sympathetic to the original footprint of the building and its not trying to be anything but a good local pub offering good food- something they are getting wonderfully right! We had been given the menu to browse over while waiting and the choice of food on offer on the menu and from the 'specials blackboard' was a sight to behold. We were seated and had finally made our choice :- Rabbit 'pasty' and Pheasant for Mr Haddock goujons & Shin of beef for me The service was second to non and the food was wonderful. The 'pasty' was packed full of rabbit and the pastry very nicely cooked The haddock was a good solid fillet with very light tasty batter The Pheasant was cooked to perfection and served in a cream sauce and my Shin of beef was a delight. Served with plenty of veg and a creamy mash I left v little on the plate. We had a look at the dessert menu (well, it's rude not to!) and just had to polish the meal off with one each. Mr had Chocolate parfait & I the good old reliable Sticky Toffee Pudding! Again, faultless! We were not rushed in the slightest and the staff were attentive while giving us plenty of time. All the food provided out to the other diners was superb looking and I'd say 99% of plates were cleared! We returned back for lunch on the Sunday and I had Lamb Sunday lunch and the Mr Duck breasts, again, all super! The only criticism for this place is too much choice! That, and the way the dining area is laid out there is one area where you cannot see the great 'blackboard' menu and may feel a little out of the way. If you are ever in the area, definitely go as the greeting,setting and food are second to none!

Incredibly friendly owner Made my party of 15 feel very welcome. The draft ales were good (ubu),…read morewine was a good selection and the food was great. I will say that if they say that something is spicy or contains chilli, they really mean it! Great country pub with nice atmosphere for anyone who needs a little escape from the confines of Staverton Park if they're on an extended conference or training session!

Lovely location next to the canal, building and decor are clean and tidy and the staff were…read morefriendly and helpful. Unfortunately the lunch time food wasn't quite up to scratch. We shared a starter plate of Warm Rustic Breads, Olives, Sunblushed Tomatoes, Hummus and Baba Ganoush (£6.95) which was quite nice, but there wasn't enough bread and what there was had been sliced and then warmed so it was dry and crunchy on the outside, which wasn't nice. I followed this with Butchers Faggots on Smoked Mash, with a Sweet Red Wine and Onion Jus, Crisp Bacon and Peas (£13.95): the faggots had way too much filler and not enough meat so they were more like large dry stuffing balls, the mash was OK, although I didn't notice the smoke flavour, and the peas partially dried out but the onion gravy was sweet, but otherwise quite nice. The second main was a starter portion of a Char grilled Chicken & Bacon Caesar, Romaine Lettuce, Croutons & Anchovies (£6.95) this didn't have much Caesar dressing, too many croutons and an overriding taste of fish, perhaps because of the huge number of anchovies on the plate (see picture). Rather disappointing!

Charming place in a nice country setting. We stopped in for lunch, and were surprised to see so…read moremany people eating, as it seems like it is out in the middle of nowhere. We caught a glimpse of other people's food and our low expectations were raised. My homemade soup was delicious, and were the other starters we ate. The quality of the food is certainly above average, and the rustic charm adds character to the dining experience.
