Rose and Crown in Vale of White Horse

Always a pleasure, been here so many times and never been disappointed. Staff are amazing and very welcoming. Food is amazing and the soufflé is always the highlight. Will return again and again

Took my dad and mum for Sunday lunch for their anniversary.We all had the roast dinner which was delicious, a nice range of vegetables on your plate. Nice range of dessert to choice from we ordered the sticky toffee pudding and bread and butter pudding which was lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful and didn't rush you. .

We had dinner when staying at the pub, and everything was first rate. The ambience is warm and inviting, the staff are welcoming and attentive, and the food is delicious. We both had the special, venison cottage pie, and it was just the right thing for a chilly, rainy evening. This is a proper pub!

Third stay here and we enjoyed the usual friendly service, great room and excellent food in the evening. The hotel is dog friendly.

Stayed here over 2 nights while visiting The Royal International Air Tattoo had breakfast and dinner the staff were excellent nothing was too much trouble and were made to feel very welcome the accommodation was clean and comfortable and the food first class I would highly recommend the Rose and Crown Ashbury

Live quite close and never eaten here so we thought we'd give it a try. Glad we did, really friendly, tasty meal and good value!

Solo traveller, stayed one night and had an excellent evening meal as well. Have booked again for 2 nights in August with the fella.

For the Ridgeway walk this place was perfect. Lovely room, great location and staff always smiling and helpful - thanks.

Our first meal here and it was excellent. Really impressed with nice ambience. Great service, lovely tasty food. Good menu choices.

Really friendly place and lovely food, we just had halloumi fries and truffle fries and a couple of drinks for an impromptu meet up and it was a lovely atmosphere, glad to have found it and will definitely be back 😊

Very last minute decision to pop out somewhere for a drive, it was such a glorious evening. We stopped off at the Rose and Crown for a drink and decided to stay for dinner. We had no reservation and the staff were very welcoming and accomodating. We both chose the 8oz Flat iron steak, chimichurri, skinny fries and house salad, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. This is a chef who clearly takes care and pride with his food. The plate of food was fresh, clean and beautifully presented. 10/10 for those chefs who can cook and present a simple meal as it should be. Outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.

We ate dinner at the pub and stayed overnight. It is situated in the heart of a quiet, picturesque village with thatched cottages all around. Our room was a good size and good standard. Service was good. Breakfast was okay. Dinner was mixed. I had a steak pie that was very good but others in our group were not so happy, especially with the vegetable filo parcel which, for the price (indeed for any price) really was poor in terms of quality and quantity. The hotel had a good parking area and an outside area for eating and drinks.

What a wonderful village pub in the beautiful Oxford countryside, hosted by a fantastic team of dedicated, friendly professionals.

Fabulous, friendly village pub. Super food, we were immediately greeted like long lost friends or family. Full of character and 'happy feelings' it is such shame it is so far from where we live, or we would be there every week.😁💕

Another excellent evening at the Rose & Crown with friends, as always the food was lovely 😋 highly recommend

We hadn’t visited for several years, but with fond memories of excellent food, we booked. We weren’t disappointed. Everything was just fantastic. Holly looked after us royally, despite being the only person there to serve drinks, take orders, serve orders, clear tables she stayed calm and cheerful, giving the appearance of having all the time in the world for whoever she was serving. Our food was perfectly cooked, (the pie, the fish, the lasagne and the chicken. Oh! And the treacle tart!) delicious and of more than ample quantity. We had a memorable lunchtime. Thank you.

A lovely lunch at the Rose and crown today . Fabulous food . Served nice and hot . Must say the broccoli and Stilton soup was perfect . Lovey roast . Great service .

Pub was beautifully decorated for Christmas! The staff were absolutely lovely, an amazing team, the locals are also so welcoming and the food was to die for! I honestly couldn’t thank the staff enough for my wonderful stay.

Came to stay at The Rose and Crown last weekend and had an absolutely fantastic time. The pub atmosphere was brilliant and I particularly enjoyed the live music. Rooms are beautiful and clean, breakfast was delicious! Holly and the team we brilliant at catering to everyone’s needs, nothing was too much trouble! Would absolutely stay there again and definitely plan to

When I entered this charming, quintessential English village Inn, bedecked in Christmas decorations, I thought that I was entering 'Pub paradise'. Although a large pub with several beautifully furnished, individual rooms, guests and regulars were barred from sitting in three-quarters of it, as there was a private party on that evening. The room I was given (number 7) was ice cold, and there was nothing to hang my clothes on. No wardrobe, no coat hangers, not even a hook on the door. There was no chair, so perhaps I was meant to throw them on the floor? The toilet cistern in my bathroom was leaking all over the floor, so they moved me, begrudgingly to a superior room (number 2). Again freezing cold. The heating did eventually come on, very sparsely at around 7.00 p.m. At least it had two comfortable chairs to sit upon and a wall rack on which to hang my clothes. I arose at 5.30 a.m. and had a shave in nice, hot water. By 6.00 a.m. the hot water tank had emptied and my shower was freezing cold. I had to boil a kettle and get washed in the sink, on what was - 4 degrees C outside. Again, no heating in my room. That came on at around 7.00 a.m. I complained to the manageress Holly. but no apology or discount off my bill was offered. Excellent breakfast. Most disappointed!

Aware that this restaurant was under new management we opted to book our lunch meal for a large group. Many of us have years of experience in the catering & hospitality and our thoughts were unanimous. The standard of food was A-MAZ-ING! Everything was perfect, the staff, fabric of the building (warm and cosy) the selection and range on offer. All 3 courses were fantastic, presentation, temperature, flavor, portion size, all served on beautiful crockery which complement the quality food perfectly. Having spoken briefly with the owner, she clearly has a winning formular with a brilliant team. Thank you again for a super lunch. We shall be back!

A group of 15 attended a 3 course lunch today, outstanding does not reflect the whole experience. Wonderful venue, first class service, excellent management and staff, wide selection of drinks and the food, well if its not 5* Michelin, then something is a miss displaying on the door. Quality, freshness, presentation, taste and temperature everything top notch !!. The group all said a definite return without question. Well done all !!

Thought we would try Sunday lunch as I had called in some weeks earlier whilst walking the Ridgeway. Staff friendly and attentive, but not too much. Roast was plentiful and enjoyable. One for chicken and one for beef, both nicely cooked. Only noticed once looking at the puddings menu that we hadn’t had any roast potatoes, very unobservant of us both but a minor flaw in our experience.

We had lunch yesterday after a lovely walk on the Ridgeway, booked the table on line and it was very efficient. The staff were really warm and friendly and welcomed our 2 dogs as well. We ordered calamari and halloumi to start, fish & chips...

Another amazing Sunday lunch today. Great food, service and atmosphere. Lovely to while away a few hours there.

I would highly recommend Rose and Crown especially for their food. The place has a great atmosphere and accomodating staff. With regards to food, they adjust to your preferences which was very important to me. Highly recommended! 😊

My wife and I visited on a quiet Friday for lunch. There were a handful of other patrons but not busy by any measure. From the off, service seemed cold. The gentleman behind the bar was pleasant but distracted when showing us to our table....

Outstanding Sunday lunch for two. Both had the beef, perfect cook and every item on the plate was done really well. Delicious carrots (can we have more than one?) perfect Roasties and Yorkshire’s, gravy to die for. Cabbage and cauliflower cheese bang on. Would recommend!

Friendly professional staff. Really comprehensive and varied menu considering the current situation. We opted for wood fired pizzas - right choice!!! Tasty, fresh and great value. I love the atmosphere and location of this pub - just perfect. Wonderful walks right on the doorstep.

We booked two rooms for two nights with a dinner for 6 the first night. Really wish we hadn't. The place looks amazing but the staff aren't professional, the food variable and the noise from the antique heating system is enough to wake the dead. This is not some townee complaining about country noises . The plumbing just bangs on all night and while the staff are aware they lie that someone will fix it! It was if the Ghost of Ginger Baker was at practise.

First and most important we enjoyed a nice meal. The starters, main course and drinks served was presented nicely. A Saturday evening and it was very busy and although some customers complained about the delayed service it was worth the wait.Sadly, we review our experience as average and the star rating only made it to 3/5 due to the food ... Our one night stay at the Rose & Crown was so sadly let down due to the following ...Guests staying presumed the bar closed at 11PM (as per opening times). Sadly the management ignored the fact they had paying guests staying and thought it was OK to have people in the bar shouting, laughing and socialising until 0100. It concluded when hotel guests complained. With no consideration given to Covid social distancing rules and no consideration for paying guests we left The Rose & Crown tired, sad and can only advise IF you consider the Rose & Crown, then maybe really think about alternative locations for a good nights sleep!

Three of us booked after reading a local fb recommendation on an "Eat out to help out" evening. We were shown into their Dining Room but it was terribly hot with no windows open (just after a huge storm) so declined and sat in the bar. Someone took our drinks orders fairly quickly but then we were ignored. After 20+ minutes we asked if we could order. Menu is a lot more limited than their online sample (I was planning on salad in the heat but none on offer) Food arrived around an hour after we got there.Skate wing was lovely but plain boiled potatoes were too hard to eat. Son loved his venison but husband's steak was overcooked and not easy to eat with standard knives. The two young men serving were very friendly but way too busy to bother with small issues. Regarding deserts ... I have to say the fruit parfait was such a let down as it was just so tiny in comparison to the huge plate of crumble the others had, although delicious and accompanied by a chilli/mango side (that I can't eat).In summary - felt sorry for the two overworked staff who were trying their best with way too many bookings to be able to provide a good service plus a kitchen full of orders. Also felt food suffered because of it and had we been paying the usual price would have had to raise a few issues ...

Lovely staff, very engaging and friendly. Fabulous comprehensive menu. Food was delicious! Salmon on rainbow chard, pulled venison nachos and apple crumble 🥰 Lovely atmosphere and good adherence to Covid regs. We will be back again!! Thank you for a lovely evening x

My wife and myself visited the Rose and Crown after a recommendation from a friend, having been past its a nice looking pub in a lovely village setting. When we arrived we had a table booked and were able to order a drink at the bar and shown walked through a pub and shown through to a dinning area and this is where it went rapidly down hill. Apart from a family of 4 and us this part of the pub was very quite and does not share the atmosphere of the rest of the pub which was a bit of a downer but livable, well that was until you realise staff forget all about you. After a 30 minute wait we went and ordered direct from the bar our sharing starter and mains.25 mins later we were saved our baked camembert sharer, that's almost an hour after entering, To add to the service problem, even though I had finished my first drink I was not asked by the staff whether I wanted anything else even though they visited us twice in quick succession. it was only when I was server our mains whether we were asked if we wanted another drink and after seeing our mains we were disappointed and ultimately wanted to leave. Our mains were at best relatively basic, my £14 beef burger didn't look like it and my wife pan fried salmon and mussels had a lot to be desired, element of the garnish could not be cut with a knife and it was swimming in a watery sauce. Maye judging from the reviews this was just a bad case but against its rivals, it certainly costs more and the food is at best average.

We ate at the Rose & Crown twice while staying in the village for a midweek break recently. The food was hot, tasty and good sized portions. We had the sausages & mash, the pie of the day and the pork burgers.All staff were friendly & polite. The local ale & the merlot complimented the food. Lee was the member of staff we dealt with the most & he was a credit to the pub.

A change of ownership earlier this year has disappointed. The food has been variable. Our last visit was the worst.My wife’s chicken and blue cheese was inedible, my fish and chips came with frozen peas as opposed to the mushy peas ordered, and the greens never turned up despite 2 requests. Service was poor with 20 minutes to get a bottle of wine, following 2 reminders. Likewise the sweet didn’t turn up and we said forget it and asked for the bill. That prompted a promise it would be 2 minutes. The bill then turned incorrect which had to be changed. Also the waiter slagged off a table of other guests who we knew!Shame, the previous tenants were very good.

Had the most amazing Sunday roast polite staff food was to perfection will certainly be recommending to friends and will be back very soon

Was expecting a nice meal in a great village pub as on many occasions before. What a difference a change of management makes. Everything is worse except the waiting staff who I feel sorry for.Don't be fooled, the Rose and Crown is not now part of a great pub chain - the local atmosphere has gone, the prices have gone up and the food quality is mediocre to say the least. Avoid.

We weren’t off to a great start when we were given an unsafe high chair for the baby, the same one we complained about two weeks previously and were told “was going to be disposed of”Previously a place of great food, now an hour wait for burnt sausages & fish and chips dripping with oil. Slow, Mediocre experience, best avoided. What a shame.

Wow! We found this by accident after going for an evening drive and we were not disappointed. Pub is lovely and cosy with a nice atmosphere. We ended up staying for food and we are glad we did! Hubby chose the duck and I had the chicken and the food was amazing great quality really fresh and reasonably priced. We chose the chocolate brownie for pudding with coffee and again really pleased with the quality of the food and the coffee was good.Definitely recommend it we will be coming back.

This pub has been under new ownership since July 2019. We were frequent visitors before then when it was a lovely friendly atmospheric pub, especially at Christmas. Now - oh dear. It seems the new management haven't run a pub before maybe? Visited for lunch in July - we sat outside and the service and food were OK. Went back for Sunday lunch - never again. Maybe it's a staff issue? Mediocre (and expensive) food, just awful service (and we we prompted to tip twice - we didn't), chair seat fabric was filthy - not a nice experience.

We were staying in the village for a weekend and had seen good reviews of the place, so went along to try it out. The locals were very welcoming and chatty. The place was clean and tidy with seating indoors and out. We had not booked but were still able to eat. Great choice on the menu and the food was beautiful. Would eat here again if i am in the area.

What a change! Had not been for a while as last visit, whilst everyone was friendly enough, the place was looking unclean and the food was below average. On the recommendation of our friends who live in this gorgeous village we booked in for 8 people and noticed how much more welcoming the pub looked and without being to harsh, it is clean. And it was busy, very busy, which is always a good sign. The menu is excellent, the service was friendly but not in your face and the overall opinion was that it is very very good and certainly one of the better places in the area. We done to everyone and we are booking in for the live music evening so see you all soon!

Still very good food. Service a little patchy at times but a minor quibble - new management bedding in I guess. Give them a break reviewers below - they're new! Will go again soon.

Me and my husband were frequent locals before the new people took over. We went in once when the new manager was there he was friendly and welcoming. On the return a couple of days later the wine prices went up massively. We tried to come back a few times on one occasion my husbands beer was completely flat, he complained the bar staff replied well this pints ok! To which my husband said can you replace mine as it has not one bubble! To which the manager walked off! We then decided do try it once again tonight to walk into a clinical empty bar the staff might as well of been zombies they had no life about them the manager (how does know us) completely ignored us but had banter with another local it’s very sad that this place has lost its life!! There’s no atmosphere like there used to be unfortunately we will not be continuing to use this as our local there are more pubs not too far that offer much more welcoming friendly atmosphere! It’s such a shame that they have drained the staff of their

I have been here before but only for drinks and always said I would come back to try the food. The pub itself is lovely and located in a pretty village. I came here with my friend on Sunday afternoon and we both agreed that we don’t usually opt to eat Sunday lunch out as we usually do a better job at home. This experience proved us wrong. The service was excellent staff very welcoming and the roast was one of the best roasts I have eaten (bar my own of course) would highly recommend. The roast beef I had was pink and juicy and the cauliflower cheese was yummy! Good selection of veg given too. I will be back again for Sunday lunch and also to try their normal menu.

We ate here on Sunday and I chose the Roast Beef which was perfectly cooked - pink as stated on the menu and a very generous portion. The vegetables came separately and again, were perfectly cooked. For pudding I chose the Rhubarb and Apple crumble and this was a very generous size and very tasty. The other members of our party were all pleased with hat they ordered. The Rose and Crown is an attractive old building in pretty surroundings. I believe it is shortly changing hands so I hope the high standard will be maintained.

Our group of 10 were as one in rating this Pub and Sunday lunch as excellent. The Chef and kitchen team produced great dishes and the portion sizes were generous. Unfortunately one of our group had a ‘turn’ which necessitated a 999 call and visit from a Paramedic. The staff were fantastic in how they managed what was obviously a worrying incident and were very supportive. Luckily all turned out well and we were all able to continue with our meal. Will definitely be back - hopefully without the drama next time!

I went here with a larger party from work. They were very accommodating and efficient at ensuring we only paid for what we had and we'd pre-ordered our food to save time. I was disappointed to see that the vegetarian option on the menu hadn't changed since I last visited a year or so ago (possibly more). Whilst nice, the falafel burger is a pretty 'boring' choice and there are lot more things possible with slight adaptations to the menu choices. It wasn't obvious to say that it was a homemade burger either, which would have made it a bit more special.

A very friendly and welcoming pub. We weren't sure it was open as many country pubs do not open lunchtime. We really enjoyed the Nacho sharer

we arrived at the rose & crown late Friday evening after another long hard day , only to be welcomed by such pleasant bar staff, especially Kim who was so helpful all evening .

Had a lovely lunch food well cooked and presented. Great selection of vegetables. Service not hurried but attentive. Ideal for families situated in a lovely village. Can't praise it enough. Well done Rose and Crown

The pub has a great curb appeal and I was really looking forward to the meal for my daughters birthday after being recommended. Inside was warm and welcoming and staff very friendly. The starters were great and my daughter enjoyed her main meal. I had salmon fillet and I found it a little dry and lacking on bisque. My husband was a little underwhelmed with his gammon.

Visited for lunch on a Saturday. Booked an hour before and the staff were absolutely friendly and helpful right from the phone call, our arrival and throughout the meal.

I am not normally a fan of pub Christmas meals as the turkey tends to be dry and cold but having visited The Rose & Crown in Ashbury that was not the case. Best Christmas meal I have ever had out - portions were plentiful, hot, all the seasonal trimmings and tasty. The starter and pudding were also great...if it is still on the menu the trio of chocolate pudding was delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST - 7 cousins travelled from Australia to celebrate a special event in Wiltshire, and we all booked to stay in the Rose and Crown for 5 nights - I had eaten there once a few years back. Each day we ate a great breakfast there, and had super dinners the pub each night, on our last night there were 17 of us for dinner. This was a fantastic choice to spend all out time at this Pub, in fact one cousin extended her stay by 3 extra nights. I had been dealing with Sheena for this stay, nothing was a problem, same with Neil and the other 2 partners. EVERYTHING worked, the staff are friendly and great, the food was a credit to them, we all loved it, rooms were comfortable and clean. Thanks Sheena and crew - you made our trip extra special. We will be back.

A well presented warm and welcoming country pub, food was outstanding and a reasonably priced menu, room was clean and very spacious with an adequate en-suite. Highly recommended for a quiet stay away in the country, will defo be back soon.

This place was recommended to us, and we decided to book in for a meal on a Friday as we were catching up with family . Friendly locals and very friendly and helpful staff. Food took a little bit longer to come out than I’d expect ( it was quite ) but then again good food takes time and it was worth the wait and gave us a chance to sample the beers and wine . Big portions , nicely presented and very tasty .

Stopped at the Rose and Crown with a friend during a country walk. Both our meals were generous proportions, of high quality and delivered promptly.

We looked hard around the area while camping to find a pub with a varied menu which didn’t seem too ‘fancy’ or overpriced. The Rose and Crown was perfect. The prices are easily in line with others in the local area but the portions are huge and the quality outstanding. The children’s meals were great value at £6 each and genuinely homemade. I had the steak pie which was stunning and my husband had a steak which was absolutely delicious. Add to that we were extremely well looked after by the staff, a great evening thank you all!

We came last Saturday evening. We felt it was on the expensive side . My meal was pleasant but nothing special. My husband had to send back some of his pork belly it was very very salty which was a shame. The pigeon starter was not very big.

Had a cheeky dinner here this week for a change from our usual places, this has place will now be on the list. Great good, lovely atmosphere and staff were friendly. We have big appetites, but were beaten my the hearty portions. A lovely place and will defo visit again!!

We are regulars here, the food is always fantastic and great portions, the staff are friendly and attentive highly recommended this place both for drinking and eating

What a gem! Having worked in some outstanding Hotels and Restaurants - this place is a complete delight. Beautiful outdoor seating area and the restaurant is lovely.

Four of us took a nice evening stroll up to the Ridgeway to work up an appetite

Good place to have a drink with real friendy pub service! It even has a backyard terrace too which is nice!

The National Trust mat Ashdown house had no restaurant so we were directed to Ashbury for lunch nearby. The Rose and Crown served an excelent omelette with side salad and chips, and the village, pub and beer garden were outstanding

Tried The Rose & Crown for the first time the food was great with excellent choices including specials with quality ingredients and good value for money. The staff were so friendly and extremely helpful. Will be going back to try their famous Sunday Lunch next.

As always, never a disappointment. We ate off the specials board duck and lamb shank and it was delicious. We eat here a couple of times a month and will keep coming back. You must try one of Paul & Robbie’s Sunday lunches. Legendary and the desserts. First class and always happy to recommend.

Had another meal last nite with two of my friends we all had different mains mine was the steak Well we all enjoyed the nite and as usual the food and staff were excellent You need to try for yourself

All 3 of us agreed - this was one of the best Sunday lunches we’ve ever had!

Ate here with my wife and two other couples for Sunday dinner after having it recommended by a friend and I’m

Came across this wonderful pub after a walk a few weeks ago when we had a drink. The pub was full for food and we then found out how popular it was and the food looked lovely. After leaving and being very happy with the friendly service and warmth of the place we decided to return today for Sunday lunch and as expected was not disappointed. Greeted by lovely staff and seated at our table 30 minutes early when arrived way before our time. A very nice starter each and a delicious Roast. Extremely lovely food, delightful staff and and all round happy place to visit. Shall definitely return many times. Highly recommend.

We moved to the area over 8 months ago and have spent the odd Sunday trying to find some quality establishments for the great British roast, at least to our liking anyway. With the Rose & Crown you could say we probably don’t need to look or try anywhere else. The Sunday roast is outstanding and if you do need any other recommendation then the fact it appears in the Guardian’s Top 50 places for Sunday lunch (2017) should convince you.

Came upon this pub, while on a detour as the motorway was congested.

We had a group of ten and the service was very good with excellent food. Nice size portions cooked to perfection. There was a good choice, with plenty of vegetables and for £30 for a great three course Xmas dinner it was fantastic value.

We went here for Sunday lunch for my mum’s birthday. It was very nice quality food. The service was excellent...

Four of us went for a Friday evening. Haven't been here to eat for a long time and we were...

Large pub.....bur very cosy. Typical...meaning good, Arkells updated hostelry. Good beer and very good food, my lamb madras was really excellent. Drinks and 4 mains plus coffee came to £73.90.

Een echte traditionele Engelse pub, met een daarbij horende inrichting, maar de keuken is echt zeer goed. Geen grote kaart, wel heerlijke gerechten.

Whilst working locally I stopped here for my evening meal and I am very glad I did. From the car park the pub looks very inviting and is well cared for. There's a good outside space that is no doubt very popular in better weather.

Really well done, staff very pleasant, not in your face but friendly. Made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. Food - delicious. Charcuterie sharing platter, nicely done, tasted fresh not tired. Steak - excellent, both had that, husbands stilton sauce was gorgeous. New York cheesecake - sublime. The creme brûlée (according to husband ) - truly outstanding. Really worth a visit.

Visited here a few years ago and was very impressed. It has, if anything, got even better.

Lovely pub serving excellent food we were surprised by how good the food was and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Cracking Sunday roast which was served quickly and followed by the (usual) additional vegetables and really good cauliflower cheese!Nice "vibe" was clearly evident within the staff which readily (and nicely) overlapped into the customer experience.Looking forward to returning another time.

Called in on the spur of the moment for lunch on a sunday after visiting loacl country show Staff were very helpful especially with my wifes Gluten Free requirement the food arrived and was more than adequate Tasty and HOT the only downside was thateach time someone arrived there was a converstation about where to seat people and the staff kept saying that the kitchen staff would be "under pressure" but we heard this before our food arrived so this gave us doubts as to the standard of food but as i said it was very nice thank you oh i nearly forgot reasonably priced too glad i only had the Small Roast phew !!!

A frequent stop for us after the Saturday morning dog walk. They do a great breakfast, great staff and service.

Lovely looking country pub. Inside it was split in two halves - one side was the bar felt almost like an old fashioned public bar and seemed to be full of mostly men watching football, the other half laid out with tables predominantly for dining. There is an extensive menu plus additional choices on blackboards on the walls. The servers, in the main young adults, were lacking enthusiasm and a smile in most cases sadly. The food was good. Large portion sizes. My friend had the pie which was served in its own dish with veg on the side also in its own dish and really chunky big chips. Another of our party though had the fish pie which seemed to be 20% fish to 80% potato. The servers left us to ourselves pretty much which was ok but we had to go to the bar to order more drinks. And when we were paying and were asked was everything alright, we told the server about the fish pie and he didn't really seem to know what to do with the information and I couldn't be sure he would've done anything. So lovely evening but shame about the fish pie and the service.

Visited the pub for Sunday lunch with family and it was very friendly and welcoming. the staff were very attentive and the food was lovely.

The atmosphere of the village pub is very much evident with a hardcore element of regular drinking locals. The dining experience is not great and needs revamping with regard to both selection of food available and English speaking staff serving it.

Lovely staff, so welcoming and helpful, delicious food and flavours, good range of local beers, great breakfasts, love the decor.
