Crispin Inn in North East Derbyshire

Great place for lunch. It was warm and welcoming. The staff were very attentive. We will be back.

A wonderful pub in a lovely little village.. staff were super friendly and was extremely cosy.. good beer, the Hobgoblin Ruby was spot on. Decent choice of gins too. Definitely be calling in again with friends....

Amazing Sunday lunch and really great service! Would recommend

Came for a meal Saturday night. We were told that there was a 40 minute wait which turned out to be 70 minutes. No fish and chips available. Asked for a prawn salad but couldn’t do that so had a prawn cocktail instead. The butter that came with the bread and prawn cocktail was out of date! A very long wait for a prawn cocktail, Caesar salad and a side of chicken wings. Food was very nice when it finally arrived.

Was the new owners first day, but very friendly, menu and restaurant area looked good. Wish them good luck for the future.

Lovely landlady & landlord. So friendly and welcoming. We had halloumi kebab and steak which were both cooked to perfection. Has glass jars on the bar filled with phone chargers and plugs incase you’ve forgotten yours and also a jar full of reading glasses just incase you need to borrow a pair! How thoughtful! And the best part is they are very dog friendly. Dog treat station at the end of the bar. See you again soon!

Came for a wake. Great old country pub. Well catered, lovely food but staff are bit absent at times. Probably better on a normal session.

A lovely traditional country pub. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was reasonably priced and came out within half hour, which is pretty good for a Saturday night seeing we hadn’t booked. The chips on our meals were so good! Big fat and home made. My only criticism is my burger didn’t come with any sauce as advertised, the chef got one of my kids meals wrong and my husbands burger didn’t have spicy cheese, but had chilli sauce all over it making it quite unbearably hot to eat. However, that being said it was all beautifully fresh and we can’t complain and we would definitely dine there again if in the area.

A lovely country pub. I didn't sample the food this time, but the beer was great. Super place to pop in for a pint or stay a while and eat.

Food amazing , worked in pubs over 30 years , your staff was quite miserable not very welcoming , apart from that couldn't fault it .

Great village pub and great food . Had the Sunday carvery which was excellent.

Friendly, atmospheric pub with a good beer selection and great pub food. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal (steak & ale pie is highly recommended) and the service was excellent. A really nice place to visit. Thank you.

What a super little pub. We stayed in Ashover for a week and had a wonderful time. Honestly we don't really go to pubs as a rule, but the Crispin is brilliant, it has a lovely atmosphere, very welcoming, and family friendly. We didn't have any food, but did observe other people with meals and it looked great. They have a great selection of beers. But the overriding feeling we both had was just pure relaxation. The bar staff were just excellent, helpful and friendly. We have just been back 27th September for a week for another holiday and had several visits to the Crispin. The experience was just as good as last time with the exception that we had an evening meal. OMG! This food is outstanding, my wife had the home made steak and blue cheese pie, mash and peas and I had the Crispin Chilli Burger, onion rings, triple cooked chips. We both had a taste of each other's meal, absolutely fantastic. The portions are huge. Ali is a great host and has a very capable team of helpful friendly people who are customer focused. Thank you Ali and Staff

Dropped in at the end of a walk around 4ish. Pub was quiet and was served quickly. Bar staff were friendly and efficient. Sat outside as it was a sunny day. Pub is dog friendly. My food rating was based on some salt and vinegar crisps I had, but I would definitely go back for food.

Called into the Crispin today for lunch after a good walk around Ashover, lunch was absolutely outstanding , undoubtedly the best burger I've had , staff were super friendly couldn't do enough, provided water for my dogs without being asked , absolutely amazing pub in a stunning location, will definitely be returning, highly recommend a visit 😀

I tried to order some food, but other customers kept jumping the queue, and the owner didn’t seem to care at all. No one cares whether you have been served or not.

What a great place for Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was as it should be for a Sunday pub lunch with friends. Service was quick and friendly. Food was hot and tasty. We will definitely visit again when we're back in the area. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our visit to this lovely olde world pub in Ashover. We had a choice of 3 in the village and glad we ended up in this one. The decor and atmosphere were excellent, but the food was even better. The three of us all had the burgers and were hoping to have room for dessert - but were so full we couldn't manage one!! A very enjoyable meal and good drinks too. Thank you. 🍔🍔🍔🍔

We visited while being at the Ashover show and was pleasantly surprised food was great drinks and staff on point was a great day topped off by a pleasant couple of hours with friends

Lovely landlady with a love for live music. Keeps a good pint of pedigree too ( thats harder than one might think)

Brilliant village pub with a fascinating connection to the past. Good selection of beers and friendly staff. Plenty of seating inside and to the frontage outside. The original building has flagstone floors, even incorporating part of a headstone from the church graveyards next door. Sunday roast was one of the best.

A recent visit to The Crispin in Ashover turned out to be a "Total Disaster." from the outset. I will skip our waitress having no knowledge as to what beers and wine were available. When she came to take our food order she announced there were no Yorkshire puddings and no peas. If we were ordering fish and chips we could have that with beans and gravy !!! Gravy on fish and chips ???Unbelievable ! Fortunately we had not planned on fish and chips. Back to the extremely limited menu we both decided we would have rib-eye steak. Off she went with our order to the the kitchen. Within minutes she was back at our table to explain they were not doing steaks that day. Ok so we would go with the lamb/beef duo roast dinner, obviously knowing we wouldn't be served Yorkshire pudding. The last thing we really wanted was a roast dinner. Within minutes a different waitress appeared and announced sorry no lamb but you can have extra beef. Why we didn't get up and leave at this stage I will never know. We genuinely felt sorry for both staff members as not their fault. Finally our meals arrived. The beef was dry and tough piled on top of mashed potatoes with 3 small roast potatoes and 1 tiny roast parsnip accompanied by a small dish of cauliflower cheese plus a dish of fresh mixed veg which were acceptable. I then asked could we please have spoons for the veg dishes only to be asked how many spoons would we like ? In our opinion this is an establishment that leaves young, untrained, inexperienced staff to face any issues that should happen to arise and in our experience the issues were numerous. We made it quite clear to the staff we didn't blame them for our disastrous experience and tipped as we would normally do having paid full price for incomplete meals. It is some considerable time since we ate at The Crispin and I'm afraid we will not be returning. Neither will we be recommending to anyone. The excuses of orders having not been delivered by suppliers as to why so many things on the menu were not available a little odd We also found the place itself had a dingy feel to it. It could be so much better. This review is a genuine account of our recent visit to The Crispin, Ashover.

Excellent food. Sunday roast amazing. Well worth the visit. Friendly staff.

The food here was good with extremely generous portions (the 'lighter portions' options are about the size of a normal meal elsewhere!), though the cask beers were sadly quite vinegary, like they needed a bit of flushing through. Dog-friendly and nice atmosphere.

Beautiful country pub, with excellent walks, history and countryside. Food is delicious and cars can be parked at front. Once a year the pub is central to the Ashover festival - well worth a visit.

Food was excellent. Can thoroughly recommend the Steak & Blue Cheese pie, it's melt in the mouth. Service was friendly and good. Shame the Pub was quiet for a Saturday night, don't understand why.

Really lovely evening meal. Plenty on menu and very tasty. Staff are excellent. Lots of drinks to choose from. Can recommend the pie with blue cheese.

Awesome staff pints filled to the top my type of pub

Landlady and staff very friendly and helpful. Food portions massive and very tasty.

Nice place, nice beer, good food, efficient and friendly staff. BUT, management seem unable to appreciate that smokers smoking IN THE DOORWAY is really, really, really annoying and off-putting.

Village centre pub with lots of character and seating on the street next to the Church next door from which to watch the world go by. Parking may be difficult on busy days but is normally OK.

Sunday dinner was amazing asked for a small dinner with no meat for my little girl and came out perfect she was drinking the gravy 😂 will visit again when back in the area

Lovely place Very welcoming Great food We was well looked after and would vist again

Lovely country pub with lots of charm and character. Food was delicious and a nice pint of cask ale. Staff were all friendly and looked,after us. Well worth a visit.

Me and the family dropped in here for a bite to eat, and were not disappointed the homecooked menu was great and we really enjoyed our time here.

First interaction with the pub was a grumpy bartender. From booking a table right through to paying. We were looking forward to tonight based off recent reviews. The bartender chose to point to the soft drinks in the fridge with her shoe and couldn’t really be bothered to say which flavours were available. Menus dumped on the table. Told by bartender holding her vape that it was a restricted menu being served that evening. Food arrived quickly- average at best. Steak and Ale pie was dried up and the peas looked like they had been in the microwave. Went back to where we were staying for toast! Expensive and un enjoyable experience.

Food wasn’t up to standard for the price! Burger was as good as a rustler, £20 for a dinner when the beef was very low quality,Not worth the price at all!!paper thin like a ready meal,again not for the price . The service was dreadful,didn’t get a menus when seated,never asked if our meals were okay!just not welcoming or any customer service. The boy behind the bar was great though, helpful when we did mention the issues. This used to be a great little pub, and great food, but has gone extremely downhill. Something needs to change before it’s no longer open.

Didn't eat but the food looked lovely and the serving I saw was generous . A lovely old pub , very clean with plenty of character and very pleasant staff

This spot is amazing with an incredible chef , kind bartenders and such a nice environment come here to experience it all. X

Unable to review food.Booked for eight people for Sunday 14 April.on Saturday 6 April.Rung to confirm booking today..to find out there was no record of the booking.The person I talked to offered no apologies and then spoke about conditions that were never mentioned when I originally booked .The person was downright discourteous and obviously limits her use of please and thank you.If the food here is on a level with the service provided then I would say we have had a narrow escape.An absolute disgrace .

We had an amazing dinner at the Crispin Inn for our 12th wedding anniversary , nice quaint historic building and lovely atmosphere, staff were incredibly friendly and attentive but above all the burger I had was not only massive but the quality was amazing- the best burger I’ve ever eaten ( and I’ve eaten a few 😂) the quality of the meat was absolutely stunning, my wife had the chicken burger which was the same! thank you so much!! Can’t wait to come again!

We come here often for the fish and chips, it's AMAZING. Don't make the mistake of getting the large one like my partner did though, it could feed 4 people! 😂

Our first visit to Ashover to embrace the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. On the first night we chose to dine at The Crispin. I had Liver and Onions my girlfriend Steak and Ale Pie. Both meals amazing as a result we ate for the three nights at this lovely clean restaurant/ bar. Yes because of the excellent meals but also the great service from Kerris Fronting the house is so important and you represented the establishment with your great personality. My only regret I wasn't brave enough to go for the mega size mixed grill Then again I'd still be there now trying to climb it. Fantastic location they deserve your custom

This Fabulous place is our local go to (there are 3 pubs in the area but this is the best!!!). Fabulous home cooked food, plenty of it and always a wonderful experience. The food is like home cooked food but without the hassle as well as being very generously portioned. We will always come back to Martin and Ali for delish comfort food. Just fab 🙌🙌🙌❤️

Lovely pub, great staff and tge food looked amazing. It's a must to visit.

Great Sunday lunch, I had the lamb and beef duo, meat was cooked perfectly. Plenty of gluten free options on the main menu, was too full to have a pudding.

The roast dinner was fantastic and huge, plus the staff are really friendly and accommodating. Great little pub in a lovely area.

Nice pub, friendly staff, good selection of beers and good varied menu, lots of antiquities to look at in the large room, open fire and a friendly cat

Mothers Day at the Crispin Inn was delightful. Martin, Ali, Jazz and the team were flat out but the quality of the food & service were 5 Star as always. The best Sunday lunch to be had for my money bar none. Had the beef and chicken combo delish. Treat yourself this Sunday and pay them a visit. Highly recommended.

Had Sunday lunch here for Mother’s Day, food was excellent service was good and nothing too much trouble as the staff were run off their feet, I had Sunday roast and sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was all delicious, thank you crispin inn for making 4 mums and their families Mother’s Day so special 😊

Visited for a Mothers Day Sunday Roast. We were made very welcome as soon as we entered the pub by the staff. We met the licencee Ally who showed us to our table and explained the menu and their policy of sourcing local meats and produce. I had the Lamb and Beef duo Roast which was very tasty, followed by a dessert. The orders were taken and delivered very quickly, despite being very busy. All the party enjoyed their Dinner and we will definitely return. It must be the best pub/restaurant in the Ashover area.

We really enjoyed tonight’s meal thank you!

Love the Crispin, visit once a year, staff are brilliant, beer is great, food is good.

I visited recently with friends on a weekday evening. There was a very poor selection of meals for vegetarians. I asked the waitress what the "Vegan Burger" was made of and she assured me it was made solely of vegetables. I confirmed with her that it was therefore a vegetable patty type of burger and she confirmed it did not contain soya, TVP, seitan or anything similar . When it came it comprised a rather dry white bread roll with a couple of lettuce leaves, one slice of tomato and two miserable looking burned (but cold) brown circles of indistinguishable origin. I have no idea what they were and was hesitant to eat them. To be honest, a couple of slices of cardboard would have been tastier, and at least I would have known what I was eating. I would normally have complained about such a dismal offering and asked for a replacement but I was on an evening out with friends and did not want to embarass them by returning my food to the kitchen. Also staff had made it clear that they would not take food orders after 7.45! The menu showing on their website is not what they are offering in the pub either, had I known we would not have gone in the first place. Total rip-off, we will not be returning. Please employ someone in your kitchen who can read a list of ingredients, understands the meaning of vegetarian and can actually cook. The only positive part of our visit was that the barmaid was friendly and polite, so much so that I didn't want to complain to her.

Four of us ate ate at the Crispin one Saturday night in February. We had pre-booked a table, which was probably the best idea as there were quite few people eating. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing a good service. Dogs on leads are permitted in most areas, except the dining room. There's a car park in front of the pub plus free on street parking. The bathrooms are clean and tidy. We each had 2 courses, a bottle of wine and beers - £56 per couple. The food was served on hot plates, very tasty and sizeable portions. Two of us had smaller sizes of fish and chips, together with a cod loin. The liver and bacon apparently was "excellent"! I'm not quite sure how we made room for the crumble, but we managed, and it was splendid. Make sure you are hungry before visiting! The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed with a good number of local people visiting - always a good sign. A good place to visit.

Unfortunately a very poor experience. Went for a Sunday lunch with family.Ordered Sunday roasts.The food arrived barely warm , side dishes of veg cold.Burnt roast potatoes hiding in the mash under the slices of beef. Awful.....was offered replacements but declined.Needless to say there was no charge. Very disappointed after looking forward to settling down for Sunday lunch in a Country pub.

Myself and friends came to the crispin inn as we are staying local it’s a brilliant looking pub inside and out but food was very disappointing overpriced and poorly made,won’t be returning unfortunately

We came here for a little bit food after a walk in the beautiful village of Ashover, when we arrived we just wanted something to eat before we drove home however we did not realize what a treat we were in for. I ordered a burger and my partner ordered a lamb and beef dinner, what arrived was a monster burger and a Sunday dinner with the most tender meat I have ever tried. The patty on my burger was very good quality, the cheese seemed to be made specifically to compliment it and the home made chips was to die for, even though I was so overly full half way through I managed to muster the power to keep eating because my tongue wouldn't allow me to stop. My partner was the same and she made me eat some of the beef and lamb, wiping the sweat away from my brow I managed a mouthful of both meats to which my taste buds acted like they had just scored the winning goal against Germany in the 90th minute in the world cup final. After we had finished I paid the bill which seemed cheap for the food we had just consumed and we have recommended this to every person we have seen since.

Nothing special. We were a large family group, we were seated in a back room I assume due to the size of the group (12 people). Felt like we were an inconvenience. We asked if they could turn the speaker on so we could hear the music that was playing in the main pub to be met with a blank look and “I don’t know”, a few minutes later asked the other bar staff girl to be met with similar blank look and “I don’t know” response (no offer to actually try or find out!) . Staff weren’t unfriendly, but they weren’t friendly either. I think the word to describe them would be indifferent. Food expensive for what it is. Me and my sister in law had fish and chips. Huge fish that tasted of absolutely nothing. Light out in the ladies loo so sat in pitch black to use the loo. Generally gave a bit of a “Royston Vasey” vibe. If you know you know!

Went today for lunch and was sadly very disappointed. We’ve not been back here for 10yrs and had great memories of excellent food which we went back for again. Sadly this was not the case, my wife’s chicken burger was dry and heated pre cooked strips. My Sunday lunch had what tasted like smash type potatoes, with awful dry vegetables and extremely chewy at best meat. Not at all worth the £50 we paid, our best meal was my daughter’s chicken nuggets and fries. Such a shame.

Overpriced, poor quality food that is overpriced, rude/disinterested staff, strange atmosphere. Would not recommend to anyone who is in the area visiting…travel elsewhere to another close by village!!

Fantastic place steeped in history, only had a coffee but look forward to going back and trying the Fantastic menu 😀

Poor beer choice but friendly staff and a lovely building

Visited for lunch midweek. A varied menu was available and we had a tasty steak sandwich.

We were at the Crispin on Christmas day for dinner . The food was superb and the service was fantastic , couldn't have wished for a better day .

Visited last night for food. Fantastic little gem ! Warm atmosphere and Brilliant freindly staff. Great menu choices and The food was awesome! ! Had lasange and the house burger was all beautiful home made food and plenty of it, to top it off a great selection of cold beer. Cant recommend the crispinn team enough what a fantastic pub!!

We visited yesterday for a Sunday Lunch, the food was amazing! The pub & atmosphere was beautiful! However, the service wasn’t great at all. We didn’t have one specific waitress, we had about 4 (& they obviously weren’t communicating with one another). We had one seat us, another to take the drinks orders, we weren’t offered any menus until another waitress came to take our order & realised we hadn’t been given any menus, which was about half an hour into being there. We then waited another 20 minutes to order. Took about half an hour until our food came, then we were missing a meal. By the time we had all eaten, the missing meal then came out. We were waiting for our plates to be cleared and hopefully get a dessert menu but we’re left sat with empty plates on our table for another 15/20minutes so we decided to get up & go to the bar for our bill instead. Within our order, we had a meat free roast dinner but was still charged the full amount of a roast. Overall, we paid £140. But you could’ve got more if your waitresses were more on their game, communicated with one another & we’re more organised. The food was beautiful but the service really let your pub down.

Christmas visit to our parent’s grave on a miserable wet day. Crispin in had a roaring fire, a friendly landlord and a great menu. Fish and chips followed by bread and butter pudding certainly hit the spot. Couldn’t have been more happy.

We visited this lovely pub last Friday,it was so cold outside, but I can highly recommend this pub.We both had the beef and ale pie,it was delicious and was packed with meat.Great choice of beers,what more could you ask for. We will definitely visit again and maybe have the Sunday Roast. Great good and drink thanks team.

Beautiful old pub with loads of character and lovely friendly staff. The steak and ale pie was amazing!!! Packed with so much meat and onion gravy to top it off 😋 I wish we lived closer!!

friendly staff, excellent food 👍

The food was very good. The girl who served was good, but the person who appeared to be the owner attempted to rip us off by overcharging for the mixed grill. It was a shame that this happened because otherwise it was an enjoyable meal. Re the owner comment. This just makes it worse. Acknowledging that you have made a mistake on the menu and then still trying to charge for an item that is not on the menu without telling us, trying to sneak it through on the bill (ie an extra £10 in total) is not appropriate. The menu stated the large Mixed Grill was £29.95. This is what we ordered. There was no indication anywhere that there were three sizes plus the mixed grill challenge. If you make a mistake, you acknowledge it and take the loss. That is good business practice and encourages people to return.

Chef/Landlord so passionate about his food and it really shows. The Sunday roasts and traditional dishes are amazing. Chips, pies and stews etc to die for! All made from his Grandma’s recipes and proper delicious British grub. Good selection of beers and lovely staff.

Called in last week for lunch well I must say it was of the best meals we have had. Service was excellent and very friendly

This pub is awesome and the food is delicious.

Lovely country pub, beef dinner was lovely cooked to perfection, only quib they only supplied one small cauliflower cheese amongst four diners one spoonful each and one very tiny pot of dryish mint sauce not enough for 4 adults otherwise a1 Btw I'd started eating before photo lol

we came to the crispin Saturday the 28th of October with some friends. we came for drinks no food but atmosphere was lovely and halloween decorations were amazing! young girl behind the bar was very welcoming and helped with drink recommendations. only gave 4 stars as chef/manger was drinking and was talking badly about staff which was very unprofessional. lovely pub

Best Sunday roast lunch I've had in years. Loads of perfectly cooked veg with it and fab gravy. Super cozy real pub, people and food. Dont miss it if you are here

Called in for a drink. Cosy homely and lovely staff. Didn't have food.

Lovely pub in a beautiful village. The food is fantastic, staff are very friendly and the service is excellent.

Went here for my 102 year old auntie's wake. Lovely staff, lovely food. Thankyou.

Excellent restaurant and pub. Exceptional food, piping hot and good quantity. Service was excellent too, ok not very busy, but nevertheless very very good. We will be back.

We had a lovely family meal here today, they catered to 15 of us including a toddler. The food was delicious and the staff were really nice even took a group photo of us afterwards. We’d recommend and will definitely visit again!

Stopped for a bar snack, found they did full menu so had main meal. Hallumi salad for my wife, fantastic quality. Blue steak for me, tender and tasty, great chips. Now we have found this place we will be there again.

Came for a meal last night and booked a table for 6:30pm. Was 1 of 2 groups in for food when we we were seated and was told that there was no chicken or gammon. The vegetables served with one of the meals weren't cooked, one meal was missing onion rings (although didn't know if we were mistaken because I didn't have a menu to hand until after). Also a small bone found in the Lamb Shank. We waited a long time for someone to come and clear the table and ask for desserts, it didn't happen. A customer on the other table asked to order desserts and was told the "kitchen closed at about 7:15pm". Neither us or the other table could have any desserts and we have never been to anywhere where they take a booking and then don't give you time or warning to order desserts. Went down to the Old Poets after for desserts and they couldn't be more attentive and polite. Wish we'd have gone there for the full meal.

Great service, drinks and food. Such polite and efficient staff. Well worth a visit.

I had the lasagne which was amazing but I was not given a dessert menu which I was looking forward to but the staff never came to our table to ask us if we had finished or wanted anything else

I used this pub in the 60/70s I called in last night, a bit apprehensively as the last time I called I walked away. Probably about 20 years ago. It had gone a bit to far up market, that's why I've not been anywhere near it for another 20 years. Driving past last night I pulled up, seen the dog bowls and walked in with my springer spaniel. Well! it's back on my list. Lovely friendly pub with good beer and good food again. Hope it doesn't get someone else in with bright ideas before I turn up my toes. Geoff Rawson

Possibly the worst lunch I have ever had - garlic 'bread' burnt, chilli prawns just small prawns in awful sauce, chicken burger consisted if chicken gujons in a bun (nice fresh lettuce/tomato in it) with stale chips. Wasn't expecting fine dining but this was truly awful. Lady serving was very nice but overworked.

Great food and service with lots of character and full of history

Brilliant pub, fantastic food. On holiday in the area and used the pub twice. Will be returning. The Barrett family.

Young girl came with burgers never spoke just put the plates down and was going to walk away ,we had to look which they was ,we had to asked for knives and forks , food was horrible we had the burgers ,chips was cooked in old fat , burgers was not the best

Nice pub. Food was OK but nothing special. Young chap behind the bar was pretty uninspiring as if we were an inconvenience to him. Other than that OK.

Just had Sunday lunch here and it was excellent. Great value for money, generous portions and served pipping hot. Recommended.

This is the 2nd time in a matter of days that my husband and I have been to the Crispin for lunch and both times it has been a fabulous experience. Home cooked food and plenty of it!!!!! We had the roast sunday chicken and beef dinner on Sunday which was fabulous, just how it should be 🙌🙌❤️❤️. Large portions and cooked perfectly, everybody who enjoys a roast should come here it’s fantastic. Martin is an amazing chef and even though I was stuffed to the hilt I had to indulge in their homemade sticky toffee pudding for dessert ❤️. We will definately be back, sooo wonderful tomhave home cooked food when not at home. Thank you it was deeeelish

Too many problems and successfully spoiled an evening. The young girl who served the pint, leaving 30mm of head, sullenly tried to get it right and after two more attempts including spilling it over the bar never apologised. The food actually was okay BUT up selling in the hospitality world is a must. After the meal no one cleared the table, no one asked if we needed more drinks, no one offers desert menu and no one offered coffee. Three more chances to make money missed. As I paid the bill (no tip of course) the phone rang and the response from the staff was “oh no!” Customer service nil. We went to the Poets for our drink.

arrived 1:45pm on thursday after a walk. the prices of starters and steaks are higher than other pubs. we ordered steak pie, lamb shank, sandwich and pate were tasty but the chips were not triple cooked as stated in menu. the desserts mixed berries crumbles and bread and butter pudding were delicious.

Perfect village local - the dog insists on a rest stop here every time we walk past
