    Great place for a spot of brunch. The restaurant decor is hands down the best in the area. Very bright and spacious inside; so you aren’t sitting on top of the people on the next table (save that for weekends!!) Perfect for a quiet bite to eat and/or to pretend you’re working! The English Breakfast may look a little pricey compared to others in the area, but it’s good quality, cooked well and a heathy size! I’ll give you a PIZZA advice, it’s the YEAST I can do and it KNEADS mentioning- they have an amazing wood fired oven so DOUGHn’t leave without having a whole one to yourself! The pub side is ok, but never seems to be anyone serving and if you’re after a gin etc they have to go off to the kitchen for your slice. Plenty of parking and outdoor space too.

    Had a very pleasant Bank Holiday lunch here. Pub/Restaurant is much larger than appears from the main road. Good barn style space at the back and outside eating area too. Found the acoustics noisy in the barn area but then it was pretty busy. Food good, service friendly.

    Cost £76 for two roast dinners with 2x cauliflower cheese 1x pigs in blanket and two soft drinks! Orange juice was served in a tired Ale glass. The beef was fatty and I was chewing it for ages. Veg I get in most places is cooked with a crunch but the broccoli was hard. The roast potatoes were also hard. The yorkie was lovely. Says on the menu beef served with a horseradish but had to go up and ask for that, they then brought out a tiny bit although there was two of us with beef dinners. A chap did come over and ask how the meal is and I stated not great, he just said excellent and walked off without asking for further feedback. I had great hopes for this as I had spoken to a chap called Gary who served me drinks previously in the week and assured me of the quality of the food. Unfortunately I will not be spending even 76p in this place let alone £76 for that rubbish, including the service!!!
