Sunday roast was good value. Friendly and helpful staff delivered a tasty well presented meal at a reasonable price. Quantity was just about right; not too overwhelming but not small. Booking is recommended.

Party of 5, mix of starters followed by steak for everyone (some rump, some fillet) not all cooked the same, we varied from medium rare to well done, but everyone more than happy with their steak. Only 1 person managed pudding and loved his large portion of apple cake. Our spend was quite high as we also drank quite a lot of beer & wine, but it was worth the money. Great food, service, atmosphere. Friendly pub, lovely and clean. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic local pub with friendly and accommodating staff. The food was beautiful and generous portions. The pub is decorated to a very high standard and has a homely and welcoming atmosphere. We came for an evening meal but I'd asssume lunch time food and service would be just as good! This is definitely going to become our local... can't wait to try the Sunday roast!

What a fantastic place! We were here on Friday (9th August, 4 of us) and had the best the best meal we've had in a long time! We had starters of holumi, ham hock and mixed olives which were all beautifully presented and flavoursome. Our mains were, Burgers for 3 of us and the fish and chips. The burgers were succulent and delicious and my husbands fish was in a gorgeous light, crispy batter with fat chips, peas and mini onions which he demolished in minutes 😋 The service was perfect and we finished off our evening, sitting outside with our drinks under the trees lite with fairy lights. A perfect ending to a lovely evening 😊 I would highly recommend you go for a meal here but book ahead as they are very popular and with good reason!! We will definitely be back again xx

Looks nice, we arrived just before 8, it said online that they served food until 9. It was a complete lie and they wasted a lot of our time. We went out of our way to eat there. It is not hard to change open/close times on google maps. Even outside the pub it said dinner until 9 and they couldn’t even be bothered to change the sign. It’s really not that hard is it?

Lovely pub out in Morden, owned by a sweet friendly couple. Lots of locally made gin with plenty of flavours to choose from. Ordered fish and chips, the food was delicious, best fish I've had in ages, good quality and meaty, big portions too! Stunning views sat out in the back garden. There were a few pheasants flying around in the field which was a pleasure to see! Gutted I didn't take pics of the food but will next time. Will definitely visit again :)

Really friendly landlord. We had drinks in the garden with the kids and the dog. Inexpensive drinks and crisps compared to some places. Garden could do with a bit of a tidy up but as it’s not really garden weather yet it may be on their radar to do before the late Spring and Summer visitors start arriving. Would definitely visit again. Inside the pub looked really lovely and cozy and the food I saw when inside looked lovely.

Took my mum here for Mother's Day but it was rather disappointing. My veg was undercooked and my mum's lamb was very fatty & chewy. The team were very apologetic and did offer desserts without a charge and that was much appreciated - especially as they were delicious, rescuing the day.

This pub truly is wonderful, quaint, cosy and traditional and in the countryside with easy driving access. The staff are the same faces and always there to take care of you. It means a lot to see the same staff, which tells me they are well looked after and they also made me feel well looked after on every visit. The food is spectacular, I can still taste it now! The chicken curry was really good and my partner had the steak pie with dauphinoise which was out of this world! I highly recommend this pub to anyone. Thank you once again for a great dining experience and I cannot wait to visit again when I am next in Dorset :)

Absolutely delicious food. Our second visit and the different choices of dish were just as excellent this time. Our guests are very used to eating out and were very impressed. Big choice and carefully cooked and presented, quite generous helpings. We all liked the fact that there was no musaz and we could hear our conversations, concentrate on each other and our meal. The service was excellent. Having to be careful of gluten and a few other ingredients, I was so grateful to have such huge care and attention taken over my food. I rang beforehand and I know about 80% of the dishes can be made Gluten free. My husband has already decided what he would like to order next time! I thoroughly recommend.

One star for that poor waitress and the way she looked after us - she was nice but food was inedible! Grey massacred veg I had to ask what one item was as it didn’t resemble anything I recognised! We did get a full refund but have to say still too dollar for probably the worst meal I’ve ever tasted!! We didn’t complain, the waitress knew straight away ! She refunded all and the bin got a meal!! Hubby ate his but it made him ill! Told him to leave it!
