Great pub, really good atmosphere and a top manager who takes pride in the service, food and there pub. Honestly can’t fault it one bit and my only issue is I’m not close enough to visit this place weekly

Sent recently for my mum birthday. Not my first visit and won't be my last. Lovely place, over looking countryside. Great food and service. Love it here! Always busy, with a nice atmosphere

Easy to get to, with plenty of signs up on the country roads. Good selection of food and drink. Great view and buzz about the place. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely go back again.

27Jun2024 Visited on spec, discovered that the place was packed and fully-booked, but the venue found a table. Superb pragmatism. The venue has a fantasic view from its outdoor decked seating area and its indoor seats next to the huge patio windows. The food is superb and the service is swift, accurate and courteous.

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, tony made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The atmosphere was cozy yet modern, perfect for both a casual dinner or a special occasion. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented—which was unforgettable. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We’ll definitely be coming back soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality food and a great vibe!

I went for a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast with my son and daughter on Good Friday. Each of us chose different dishes. My daughter had pancakes, my son had a traditional English breakfast and I had eggs royale. The dishes all came out at the same time and were each cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. The staff were really friendly and thoroughly attentive for the duration of our visit. The prices aren't cheap but when you consider the quality of the food, the excellent service, and the truly amazing views over open countryside, the prices are more than reasonable. Great restaurant, great staff & great food!
