I recommend The Boars Head for its hearty tasty food by Wayne, great staff inc the beautiful Emma, Jan, Will and Steve, home from home pub. It has an excellent outdoor area to enjoy a glass of wine and the sun. Dogs are allowed inside the pub and out, which is excellent for us and our two fur babies. I have been frequenting the Boars for over 20 years and will continue to for 20 more 🥰 Big thanks to you all.

We popped in for a drink back and a chat at 9pm in 2019 but on a Monday they closed at 9pm, the barman suggested that we could take our drinks outside on the heated veranda to drink them as the pub was closing. What a lovely pub with great service... It also has an amazing farm shop in the back!!!

Sunday lunch... apart from the beef being tender the rest of meal microwaved and tasteless and definitely not very big portions! No starters offered on a Sunday and desserts cheap supermarket microwaved produce. The staff were young and obviously not trained in the hospitality business... wouldn't go there again.

Attractive pub/restaurant with a friendly staff. Bar meals value for money. Had lunch there early December.It was so lovely with the Xmas decorations and a cosy warm fire. But disappointed when a wk later after booking for me and my friends to have an evening Xmas meal after sending them a lovely photo of the cosy restaurant I had had at lunch to find the fire not lit due to painting and the restaurant felt and looked quite cool and a bit uncomfortable. Hope this is resolved now as had booked (before the disappointment) for an family meal before the new year.

Was disappointed from walking in to the changes that have been made. ie. The real ale environment. Such a shame. A sad loss. It was a place to travel to for the quality of the ales but alas no more. The bar is now limited to a couple of options and the one I chose was past its best. Maybe because with the lack of enthusiastic support it had as a good ale place it's now flowing as it should. The food was mediocre. A let down.

Pub with bags of potential. Food was faultless. However attitude of staff was poor. I'd driven up from Swansea for a meal and was asked to leave by 9 pm as they were closing despite website stating Monday closure at 10pm. Quite a few local drinkers still in pub at 9.15 when we left. Wont be returning.

We had an evening here a few nights ago, as part of a large group that was celebrating a birthday. I thought it was OK, but really nothing special. Firstly, the atmosphere and general look of the place (as with most establishments) is governed by its size and shape. This is a really old pub, which means lots of smaller rooms and period features. On the one hand, this can give a snug & cozy feel. On the other, it can feel a little cramped in a crowd and all a bit dingy, owing to the beams and dark timbers. This isn't any more of a criticism as an observation and no reflection on the pub as a whole. The things you can judge a pub on are the food, drinks & service. So starting with the drinks... They have a fair selection of guest ales, ciders & beers, not all of which you'll recognise by name, but all still perfectly palatable pints. There is the usual in terms of spirits and a small wine selection (red and um... white). The average price of a pint was between £3 & £4, which is about the going rate for anywhere around here. The food is definitely where it lost marks for me because I'm something of a foody and it just really wasn't that great. There was a very limited selection of starters & mains (maybe because of the size of the group, maybe not) which was priced at about £4 for a starter and around £11 for a main. To be fair, I don't think this is extortionate, but the general consensus around the table for the selection of dishes ordered was "it's alright" or "it's OK", which suggested that everyone was a bit underwhelmed, value for money wasn't really there and there's little worse than paying for a meal that you know you could do better at home. The definite saving grace of the night was the service. The barstaff, waitresses and all involved were great. I found everyone to be polite, friendly and professionally efficient and they seemed spot on with everything, dealing with the busy periods really well and I think they helped create a better ambience overall. In summary, not terrible at all, just not that great either.
