Cherry Tree Inn in Barnsley

lovely country pub. very friendly staff. very good selection of drinks. fantastic views over the country side. only downside, car park is up a steep hill.

Love this pub and sadly I really don't visit it enough. A proper country pub, great beer and sensibly priced no no nonsense food without any pretention! Real fire is a welcome treat on the colder days.

It was an amazing dinner the roast was lovely ! The atmosphere was very cozy with the most pleasant staff with friendly faces as soon as you walk in. Everyone is so chatty.

It wasn't a day to sit outside or even to have a cold lunch - so it was a case of two Scampis from the offer section of the menu and agreement - because of a further main meal later - to leave some chips uneaten. The service was swift, the scampi was spot on and yes there were more than enough nice crisp chips. Perhaps there could have been a few more peas but hey - the value was excellent.

We was recommended the cherry tree by the couple whose house we are buying in Clayton West first impressions the pub has a very nice atmosphere cosy good selection of beers and wines etc decent selection of food nothing too fancy just good old Yorkshire style food we had lasagna and gammon steak with all the trimmings really nice staff who were very welcoming

Having previously sampled nearly everything on the menu, which we have always enjoyed and was also cooked to perfection, we visited today and "Surf and Turf" was on the specials board. I plumped for the special and my wife the Brewers pie, both with new potatoes. Yet again we were really pleased with the quality of the food and cooked to perfection. Topped off with a couple of pints of Yorkshires finest Timmy's Landlord. The Cherry Tree is a breath of fresh air in todays pub trade, Both Alf and Michelle run a quality establishment. Well worth a drive out to High Hoyland. Highly recommended. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g528795-d2520879-r971582687-Cherry_Tree_Inn-Barnsley_South_Yorkshire_England.html#

I must say we were very disappointed with the food , it’s been a while since our last visit and I think it will be a long time before we go back ,, The chips looked like they had been sat waiting for the rest of the meal to arrive £23 for a mixed grill and the steak was like rubber and more fat that meat , We ordered chicken breast, which tasted like the cheapest processed chicken we have tasted I did enjoy my pint of bitter The lady behind the bar promised to let the chef know ??? Great service Ideal for taking your dogs inn after a long walk but I’d eat elsewhere sorry

Perfect as a walkers pub! No fuss straight forward food at reasonable prices. Pleasant staff. Served quickly. Would visit again.

A brilliant dinner. Absolutely loved our food. The menu is amazing with something for everyone. I loved the Coachman's platter. Superb quality and great value. We booked on the Dojo app, which was great! Thanks again.x

Such a great pub with lovely kind people, great service, drinks taste lovely and amazing food. Owners are very welcome and friendly I definitely recommend this pub

When previously at The Cherry Tree recently, unfortunately my menu choice had sold out. No such problem today - so both of use had the Lamb Kofte Wrap - which was very good and was accompanied by the House Merlot, making for a pleasant lunch.. The wraps were good enough to be recommended to two other interested customers.

We all had such high expectations of this one. Rave reviews for their meals. We were out for a Sunday lunch and sadly I have to say we were all very disappointed. One of our party actually said, from the ones we’ve had recently, this was the worst. The clue I suppose was as soon as we walked through the door, the aroma of boiled cabbage. The vegetables on the plate were all overcooked, cauliflower with cheese sauce poured over is not cauliflower cheese! I do like a nice variety of vegetables and not just sloppy greens and carrots. The welcome leaves a lot to be desired, we’ve been here for drinks and tried to eat in recent months and have been put off by the sour face behind the bar. But, family members and rave reviews, we were prepared to brave it and try for a dinner. Won’t be back, at least we know now. The view is lovely though lol

We have now had several Sunday dinners at the cherry tree , always consistent, always hot, always cooked , always delicious, great menu, great selection of beers, warm and friendly environment, very polite and helpful staff, fantastic views to sit out and enjoy a pint, would definitely recommend, dog friendly.

Great Yorkshire Pub, cracking pint of Black Sheep, warm welcome, great food and a proper fire! Give the mid week steak night a try, two sirloins all the trimmings and a bottle of wine for £50, how can you complain? It ain't posh, it ain't bistro and it's all the better for it, we need to support these gems, a cracking down to earth boozer.

My wife and myself plus our daughter And son-in-law went for our lunch and we were well pleased with the food the beer and the service all at a good price .We will be eating there again.

Today was our first visit to the Cherry tree and it was beautiful I had the 3 courses for £18.45 all home made the soup as my starter was lovely followed by the Sunday roast which was one of the best roasts I’ve ever had and the pudding was also lovely . Well worth a visit staff lovely chef lovely x

When my partner & I came here for food last week we were told we would have to collect our own meals as we were sitting at the top garden. This was reiterated when we ordered and we were happy to do this otherwise we wouldn’t have ordered. I spoke to a couple of waitresses when they were collecting glasses and clearing tables and they were very nice. When we were shouted to collect the food, I went down straight away, and as I passed another waitress carrying my food, (both with our hands full), i said ‘I’ll be trying to pinch your job next’ and smiled at her. When the manager came out and accused me of telling the waitress she wasn’t doing her job properly I was shocked! I apologised and explained that wasn’t the case and even told her exactly what I’d said. The manager was aggressive and nasty and walked away while I was speaking to her. She has since replied to my initial review saying I was sarcastic and abusive to the waitress which is totally untrue. Apparently this was caught on CCTV!? Feel free to share it! Instead of taking the opportunity to apologise to me for her unnecessary telling off and deliver some coaching to the ‘new staff’ on how to interact with customers, she has chosen to have another go at me on Tripadvisor. Classy.

The Pub is friendly and welcoming. It serves an extensive food menu at very reasonable prices. It's great value for money. Most people would find something to eat. There are vegetarian and vegan options available. There is a good choice of beers, wines, and spirits, plus a good variety of soft drinks or zero alcohol options. Everyone seems to have been thought about and catered for. As it was the hottest day of the year myself and husband opted for a cold chicken sandwich with a side of chips. We both heartily enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back!

We walked 3 miles for a drink and lunch which was all good until a person from behind the bar came and had a go at me while I was eating my food. With no info or facts about what she was accusing me of and without an apology for her mistake I was left feeling upset and disappointed. We won’t go again, it really spoiled our afternoon.

Came with a friend for a meal 23rd June the food and service was excellent. Lovely friendly, efficient staff. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Definitely be back soon. To top it off I made friends with a lovely labradorite called Spencer, which being a dog lover topped off the evening.

Out for Fathers Day dinner with family. Not been here since Covid so was looking forward to a good evening and we were not disappointed. A lovely friendly welcome as soon as we came in, great food options in starters, mains and desserts, good service and very helpful staff. I had pate which was lovely, sirloin steak cooked to perfection and the twix cheesecake with ice cream. All were very good sized portions and presented well. The wines were also of very good quality. A big thank you to everyone at The Cherry Tree, we will most definitely be returning.

Called here half way round a walk we both had Gammon which was delicious freshly cooked and served quickly. The owners are really friendly - we have stopped here before too and had sirloin steak again freshly cooked and delicious.

Absolutely appalling food, the quality has plummeted and we were so disappointed, will not be returning ever again and wish we had refused to pay the extortionate (for the dreadful quality) bill. One star because we can’t give none.

Been today. Ordered Scampi. Opened sachet of unbranded Tartare Sauce and poured it into food. Was like water and not a pleasant taste. Went to bar to advise them it was horrible and was told nobody else had every complained. I was taught at catering college to never spoil food by cutting back on quality so was disgusted at response. I asked for a hot beef and onion sandwich instead and received one piece of meat with onions which barely covered the bread and charged over £10 for this with a few chips. We paid and four of checked money. As we left the rude man shouted it was £1 short. He obviously missed that one coin was a £2. I gave him another £1 even though money wasn't wrong. Maybe he could use it to buy a jar of quality Tartare Sauce. Coleman's is on offer at £1 for Xmas and would go better with his not cheap Scampi.

Visited the cherry tree this evening for a meal what a lovely place welcoming and friendly my husband had mixed grill i had hot beef and onion sandwich and my granddaughter had chicken nuggets she didn't want the ice cream for desert but she was given a packet of crisps of her choice instead. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back

Lovely stop off mid 9 mile walk for a tuna sarnie and chips - Oohh and a cheeky beer. Friendly staff, lovely sandwich and beautiful home cooked chips - cheap excellent value! We’ll be back 🙌🏻

Been going years and my partner with family for 15 years. Firstly I was charged £4 for two pints of jug water and splash of cordial - disgusting!! Food was not fresh and all frozen / packet bought and tasted the same very bland My partners rhubarb and apple crumble was so so illuminated bright pink! Both us and our friend all had bad stomachs ok the morning. Terrible

Sorry to say this. We have eaten here a number of times. My last review reflected our good feeling and experience. However today we called in and were disappointed. Jackie had a chicken salad. I can't remember the name exactly. The chicken was over spiced, dry and though. I had the steak and kidney pie. It was OK. Nothing to write home about. It may be that there has been a change of kitchen staff. You would not buy a pair of jeans without trying them on first. I am always suspicious of a pub that asks you to pay for your meal before you have even seen it. Sadly that was my experience today. Sad to see a place to go down hill.

Good wholesome food cooked well and served by pleasant staff. The food is good value for money The pub sells popular, traditional beers. Well done

Im being generous giving this revier a 2 and only for the friendliness of the staff .The potion was VERY small and should be listed as an oap size .The chips about 4 of them were very dark in colous as though the fat hadnt...

Dog friendly...we sat in the bar area...Lovely food...we chose from the specials board...friendly staff ....reasonable prices and beautiful scenery....we will definitely call again soon!

Steak pie... used to be great but I'm afraid the meat is now of poor quality and very tough... bit of care needed in preparation, quality and slower cooking. Cutting corners means less bums on seats I'm afraid.

Very good Sunday lunch today, hot, tasty and good portion sizes. Thought we would eat out before lockdown starts. Felt very safe with good hygiene facilities, mobile track and trace on entry and sanitizer. Furniture cleaned when customers leave. Staff polite and helpful. We will...

Our local pub, but haven't been since the start of the pandemic, but we decided to give it a try to help business. The food was absolutely stunning, as usual and the staff were pleasant and helpfull. On arrival we were informed of the safety measures in place. They were ready to take our details, but because we have the NHS track and trace we were walked through the process to check in. We watched the staff clear and sanitise the table opposite when the family left and can I must say they go over and above to ensure customer and staff safety. We will be making regular visits from here on. We'll done Cherry Tree.

It used to be a lovely pub but since being taken over, there is no atmosphere. The staff come across very rude and have no customer service and no care is put into the food anymore.

On our first visit second week In August we really enjoyed it, although they were busy we didnt wait too long and the food was lovely I had salmon and there was plenty, a lovely young girl behind the bar was an asset no problems at all with the staff. Second visit 31st August very different my food was still very nice but my partners mixed grill was disappointing, and she forgot to bring his chips. We both noticed the portion sizes seemed smaller too. It was very busy and the staff seemed very stressed as there were lots of people in complaining around us. I must say I felt sorry for one of the young girls getting a dressing down but she held her own but on the other hand one of the other girls was dam right rude to a man, none of the staff that day seemed like they wanted to be there. My advice dont book more than can cope with, staff training in customer service and keep the lovely young girl that was sorting Bill's behind the bar 1st visit front of house not the older lady... sorry. Still gave 4/5 for food for first visit.

Well I don’t really know where to start , we visited as a party of five for my sons 18th birthday , I have never come across such rude and hostile hosts in the hospitality business , we waited an hour & fifteen mins for food ( even though there were only three other tables in) there was no chips or jacket potato only mash or new , then when given the bill they had charged us for food & drinks we didn’t have . When we brought this up that’s when the old lady really got nasty I have never encountered anything like it

3rd time we have eaten here in last few weeks... not to mention the cheeky beers with chips on our afternoon walks. Staff attentive and extremely friendly, food excellent and great value for money. We have booked again for next week and can't wait!

The Cherry Tree has been my local pub for several years visiting at least twice a week with my wife and family. During the Eat out to help out I ordered a rare to medium steak. When it came it was overdone and tough. I politely mentioned this to the landlord who rather flippantly told me it was overcooked as it was a thinner steak than usual and had been cooked for the normal amount of time. He then walked away without offering to rectify or even apologise for this. This is the first time in years of frequenting the pub that I have complained about anything. This issue could have been resolved in a friendly apologetic manner but it was just met with a rude and couldn't care less attitude.

I must say I have NEVER wrote a bad review on tripadvisor. But my visit was that bad I need to HIGHLY WARN PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY!!!! When visiting here we were trying out best to support local businesses especially in these challenging times. However we wish we hadn’t have bothered. People especially with children need to totally stay clear of this pub. We had a few issues with being charged for things we haven’t had. But that wasn’t the main issue. The main issue was the customer service. I attended here with my family and my 5 month old baby, when speaking Politely to the landlady questioning the added extras on the bill she answered by screaming across the pub shouting and distressing my newborn baby so much so I had to leave my family and take the baby outside to calm him down. I honestly don’t know how people continued to sit in the pub from how much she was shouting and making rude remarks. Sat across from us were elderly women who heard everything and also looked horrified. I will never ever return to this pub. What a rude, arrogant disrespectful person I wish I’d have read all the other reviews what state she has been on a rampage before hand too. Lastly the food was awful absolutely terrible.

Charged us for extra things we didn’t order on the bill then when we explained that we had not had these the old Lady behind the bar shouted across the pub and was very aggressive and abusive. I would stay well clear of this place.

Had a loverly meal in the is public house. Nice and clean eating areas and good choice menu. We had two mixed grills and a sirloin. All came hot and well presented. Unfortunately we asked for extra onions rings and told they had run out . And they used frozen . For what it takes to make home made onion rings. Just a thought and so easy . .

Haven't visited this pub for years but thought we would give it a try after the excellent reviews online. We weren't disappointed. Food was lovely - good choice & reasonably priced. Food arrived hot & quite quickly given that it is freshly prepared. Waiting staff were all very pleasant & attentive. Nothing too much trouble. The covid arrangements were well thought out - tables spaced, one way system with plenty of signage, disposal menus, separate table for serving etc. Have visited several pubs during the government's promotion & this was by far the safest I've felt so well done to all. Great to see that dogs are also welcome in certain areas of pub so hope to return with our pooch in tow. Thanks again

I was not going to review this establishment today. After all I should not review after every excellent meal.We arrived at 15.30 to be told there were not any tables available to eat. The ever customer focused Michelle did manage to sort one out for us.We were a little perplexed why tables were so scarce on a Tuesday afternoon, of course we had forgotten about the present government scheme.Food excellent. Staff excellent particularly the young lady behind the bar. Over the years I have become disillusioned with Ale. Often not well kept and/or lines not cleaned properly..The Timmy Taylor Landlord today was peerless.On a final note Michelle has turned down a lot of bookings today presumably because the pub was booked up by people taking advantage of the present government scheme (and why wouldnt they).To all those people out there that have done just that please continue to support this pub after the 50% discount has ended.Even at full price the food is cracking value for money.

Warm friendly welcome, despite the covid-19 restrictions Attentive staff keeping well within social . Quick service, distancing guidelines, Wonderful food served piping hot, deliciously favoured and tastyminimal wait from ordering. Superb value. Overall fantabulous

Good pub food and beer in very friendly surroundings. We thought that the arrangements made for the current post-Covid world were excellent and we felt very safe and well looked after. Many thanks to all concerned.

Visited for the first time this week and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely food and excellent service from the staff who were all lovely. We were made to feel very welcome and were impressed by the standards of hygiene. Will definately visit again.

The previous 2 reviews say it all really - if you don't enjoy a meal here, get your taste buds checked! Just enjoyed a wonderful meal here - must admit we're regulars as we live close by, but the amount of work they have done during lockdown surprised us; totally decorated throughout and the pub / restaurant looks brilliant for it. Clearly in these strange times, feeling comfortable & safe is important, and the emphasis placed upon cleanliness and hygiene is VERY impressive - you can sit and relax and just enjoy being able to go out again ! Thankfully, nothing has changed during the lockdown foodwise - it's really good value for money, plenty of choice and very tasty; you cannot possibly go away from here still hungry!So glad to have this wonderful place back in action - we've missed it. If you haven't tried it, just go for the view, the food, the drink and the welcome; it turns a trip out into something special.

We have been going to the Cherry Tree Inn for over three years , we first went there over twenty years ago , but we were disappointed by the Sunday lunch so we never went back . In the mean time we had our sunday lunch at home or sometimes we ventured out looking for a decent pub meal and we tried many pubs within a 3 mile radius but were always rather disappointed . We tried the Cherry Tree again about three years ago and it was quite a revelation , good food , good beer and good prices and an homely atmosphere . We don t go anywhere else these days ......... there is no point ....... don t take my word for it ........ give them a try ...... but book early .

Well my title isn't 100% accurate. Things are very much not usual for most of us right now.That includes The Cherry Tree. Having said that if anyone is a little bit wary of returning to this pub please please do not be.The attitude Michelle has towards the safety of her customers and staff is amazing.Hand sanitiser as you enter and as you leave. We witnessed a VERY thorough cleaning of tables and chairs between customers.OK now back to the pub.1. Bring an appetite. We made the leisurely 35 minutes walk from a neighbouring village to work up an appetite.2.The menu (to our surprise) was as extensive as ever. We had expected it to have been trimmed a little upon being re-opened.3.Terrific food at an equally terrific price. Most mains under £10.4.Friendly welcome from both of the owners.5.When things start picking up a bit more the range of Ales and Lager will be once again varied and to suit everyones palate.These guys have put an awful lot of time , effort , thought and no doubt money prior to reopening.Regulars will already know this. If you are just visiting this area do not pass the pub by.You are guaranteed a warm welcome , amazing food and a very hygienic place to be.Oh and the music is good !

Lovely restaurant come pub. Completely re vamped to a tastefull standard. Lovely landlord and landlady and lovely attentive staff. Great mixture of locals. Ramblers and passes by with great views. Go and pick this cherry its the top of the tree

Excellent food, atmosphere and hospitality. Michelle and Alf are brilliant landlords. They made my husbands 50th a great night. Would definitely recommend the cherry trees to anyone wanting just a beer to a lovely meal. Thanks again. Julie x

This is the ideal country pub. Traditional lay out which includes a real fire. Quiet out of the way location with fantastic views and accommodating car park. A wide and good selection of Cask ales, wines and spirits. Menu of good wholesome home made food. Plenty of choice, at reasonable prices. A warm and friendly welcome from all of the staff and the chef having confidence to come to the dinning area to check if all is well. Something you don't often see. I chose the mixed grill which came with excellently cooked choice cuts of meat, served with home cooked chips.

Sunday lunch is wonderful. Excellent service, excellent food, and no music! Highly recommend this pub.

Brilliant. Called in for a drink and the setting with the open fire and great friendly local people was amazing so stayed for the Sunday dinner. 3 courses was excellent and great value for money. Great food. Great staff so friendly and helpful and great wide choice of drinks. The owners came out to check the food was to our liking and were so nice.So recommend. The views from the pub are great. Menu had so much choice. Great place.

We come to the Cherry Tree most Sundays for our dinner. The food is very good. We have tried various meals off the menu and they all have been good. Its a traditional pub with an open fires. The new owners are very welcoming and they are putting there own stamp on the pub.

Called for lunch with my wife after doing a morning's walk in the area. The food was superb. I had the Thai Fish Cakes with sweet chilli and my wife had the Brewers Pie and we can thoroughly recommend them both. The service was excellent too. I had a pint of the real ale which was excellent too and far reaching views outside the front door. We will definitely be visiting again.

Called in after an energetic walk around Yorkshire Sculpture Park with a friend. Wonderful atmosphere and truly excellent meal. Lovely warm fire and amazing views.

Saturday lunchtime decided to call for a meal. Warm welcome, nice atmosphere, very reasonable prices and above all delicious food. Cleared our plates but sadly had no room left for pudding! Not been here in ages but will 100% definitely be back soon.

Our first visit to the Cherry Tree, recommened to us.8 of us cleared our plates so the food was good, squeezed in a pudding. The food was well oresented, fresh, tasty, excellent value for money.The pub was a cosy pub, we were made to feel welcome, we had excellent service there and would definately return

Superb food at a good price, lovely place. Would recommend to anyone. Good choice of menu and good craft beers.

We visited earler today after a 5 year hiatus. Basically this pub has lurched from one crisis to another over the years.

We call here regularly for lunch , when going for a walk around Cannon Hall Barnsley. Today there were 4 of us having sandwiches. The hot chicken sandwiches with stuffing were starved of filling, a teaspoon of stuffing with rock hard chicken.

What a fantastic pub. Food was brilliant and the surroundings and atmosphere was amazing. Plenty of great choices on the menu and the beers and other drinks. The staff were very polite and helpful. The open fires and the friendly locals at the bar made my day. ( especially the local chap called fireman Jon who was friendly and very witty. A star). Definitely worth a visit. Try the 3 course Sunday lunch. Chuffing champion. All in all one of the best pubs iv been in. And what a view from the beer garden or sat at the front. Can't wait to go again. Excellent.

Twelve of us went for Christmas lunch last week and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Reasonably priced. We (hubby and two friends) are going again next week. Never yet had a bad meal, so looking forward!!

Nice Victorian country pub with great views down towards Cannon Hall . Lynne and Ken have retired this week after many years and we wish them a happy retirement . Pub does good real ales and offers cheap bar meals . Best quiz around on a Wednesday night . Sure the young couple taking over will carry on the good work.

Went with family for an early evening meal - we were not disappointed. Staff friendly and helpful, a great range of food to choose from, and came piping hot to our table. Two of our group ordered steak and kidney pudding which was awesome. The majority of main meals came with a choice of jacket potatoes, rice, chips or even half and half. A great way for people who can't decide what to accompany their meal. The rest of the family had other meals including delicious fish and chips, chicken dishes, vegie dishes and a wonderful lamb tagine. Everyone was too full for a dessert!

We went on the recommendation of another dog walker and weren't disappointed. Despite those writing negative reviews it may not be the shiniest pub but the food was excellent and staff welcoming which are the most important things for us.

The staff were appalling rude surlier best the food would've been niceif it had arrived as ordered and together chips were very poor all in all not a very enjoyable meal disappointed

You know when you can't be bothered to cook but you don't want to get dressed up, and you don't want to leave the dog at home? Yes of course you do. Well this pub serves the best steak and kidney pudding in town. Plus lovely chips. very reasonably priced, just an old fashioned pub with a fantastic view and steak and kidney pudding.

I like places where you are treated like a human, rather than a "customer to be processed". A lovely place to sit, enjoy your food and drink, and walk out feeling that you have had value for money - and to meet staff who are interested and interesting.

Just visited this place for the first time - staff rude - food very average - but the place and facilities are absolutely disgusting and filthy

A group of us were looking for somewhere for a late Sunday lunch, so were very pleased to discover that the Cherry Tree serves food on a Sunday from 12 noon until 5.30pm. We booked for 3.45pm and there were still plenty of people dining, so a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious! We were very impressed with the extensive menu and felt spoilt for choice. There is a traditional Sunday lunch, but 3 of us opted for the steak and kidney pudding (yummy!) and the rest the beef pie. Clean plates all round. We got a lovely welcome when we arrived, the service was very good and we had a great time - so much so, we immediately booked for the same time next Sunday. We're looking forward to working our way through the menu over the next few weeks. Great value too, both food and wine. Thumbs up from us.

We entered the pub to be served, greeted by the blonde older bar lady very rude and abrupt. Asked if they had a certain drink....her response wasn’t helpful at all! Won’t be going back in a hurry, shame because the view is lovely but the inside let it down!!!

Lovely good value food and a great atmosphere, even on a Monday. Don't miss a great desert! Set in a stunning location and good for local walks.

We love this pub and don’t visit very frequently and today we realised why. We entered the pub, my husband ordered the drinks and myself and my children sat down at a table. From across the bar the crude old lady from the other side of the bar bellowed at me and my daughters in front of the whole pub that the table we were sat at was reserved and was about to be set for another party. I was very embarrassed and if it wasn’t for the fact that my husband had already spent our hard earned money on our drinks I would I have walked out straight away. We were then forced to sit outside in the cold with our drink. Thus to say we will not be returning

We arrived here for a Sunday roast and were a little concerned by one of the previous reviews.

We visited for the first time on a glorious lunchtime and sat outside to eat. The pub was quite busy and we were greeted by friendly staff and locals. Inside is a cozy, comfortable country style pub, serving locals, walkers and workmen. The atmosphere and the service was good. We had cold sandwiches and didn't have to wait too long for our food to arrive. The portions are generous and the 'real live, home cut chips' were first class. Everything is freshly prepared and there is a good selection on the menu. We will return to sample more!

I am amazed how busy this pub was. I’m also amazed it has 4/5 circles. And that it won a certificate of excellence for three years. And that it has been rated as ££-£££. This is such a laugh and must reflect local opinions of the place. Coming from the south where things are more expensive, but clean and good quality I was quite frankly amazed that this place has not been shut down due to how filthy it is. I have never been in such a dirty, run down, worn out and grim pub in my life. I went to the loo as we arrived and the carpet had a red, normal coloured stripe down the centre but was actually black down both sides. BLACK! How does a carpet get that disgusting? The varnish was completely worn from all the tables - beyond shabby chic character to requiring complete overhaul or disposal. The ceilings were grimy and brown with dubious marks. The salt and pepper pots had actual lumps of dirt in the screw top creases. The menus were greasy. The choices were super basic, but when cooked well that’s fine. I had a mechanically recovered meat (chicken apparently) Kiev with soggy chips, soggy carrots, dry peas AND salad for some weird reason. They was no enjoyment in the eating of it. I did not want desert. When someone decided on another round of drinks my heart sank. I could not wait to leave. Cheap, but that’s not a good reason to go. Absolutely revolting.

We have eaten there a few times and really like the place. This time on a cold winter's day but when you walk in the warmth greets you. Lovely views of some beautiful countryside helped by it's elevated location. A large car park. We have always found the staff friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are priced for value and the menu has enough choice. Each time we have been we have chosen different things from the menu and have never been disappointed and this time was no different. Good, well cooked pub food.

Excellent lunch with friends. Piping hot and good quality food served by friendly staff. Two had the Gammon, egg and pineapple with choice of chips, jacket potato or mash. Onion rings, tomato, salad, mushrooms. Yummy. One of us had Chicken Breast with creamy sauce topped with cheese, again chips, jacket or mash. Came with carrots, green beans and other extras. Looked yummy too. Highly recommended/

Four of us for Sunday Lunch. The whole menu was available but we chose the roasts. Two had chicken and two had Pork. Lots of vegetables to share and a boatful of extra gravy. Followed this with two sticky toffees, one slice of cheesecake and one portion of profiteroles. The whole thing washed down with Sauvignon and a pint of Black Sheep shandy.

The food is excellent at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We have visited several times this year. On warm days it is a great place to sit outside with a pint and look across the fields and surrounding countryside

Stopped off for lunch after walking the dogs in Deffer Woods.

Would highly recomend. Great food great beer and great staff. Propper pub with great frendly atmos. Good value for money and plenty of parking around the back of pub. There is a bit of a slope to acc car park so on frosty / snowy days park at the front...

Had lunch here yesterday.Two meals and drinks for £20.Nice food and drinks.I like a meat pie encased in pastry but this wasn’t, pastry placed on top of pie but still nice.

Visited this pub on Sunday for lunch while passing through village managed to get a table for 2 the pub was very busy ordered Sunday roast and must say it was really nice the staff were friendly and helpful the pub itself is very nice a bit dated but for me this adds the appeal not modern like most pubs now would defiantly recommended this pub we will for sure be back well done cherry tree

I would definitely recommend the cherry tree. The pub is obviously very popular and busy so booking is a definite but it will be worth it. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious and obviously home cooked. The pub is very traditional and has a cosy feel which makes visiting it a real pleasure and the views from outside are stunning.

Called in yesterday for lunch we both ordered lasagna it was delicious the staff were very friendly as well yes the place could do with a refurb but it it does not affect the service keep up the good work
