Great old pub that we visit every year during the summer months, food was ok, and this year seems like standards have slipped, paddock area in the garden looking very tired and in need of a makeover, had 2 pints and only one was decent, would return but hopefully improvements made

Met with friends today, what a warm welcome we received. Two of us ordered fish chips and mushy peas and another ordered soup. The fish and chips was absolutely fantastic and was so flavoursome , the soup was delicious too. We had apple and caramel pie with custard for pudding and Panna cotta. Both were really tasty. Fantastic service can’t wait to call again many thanks.

This a lovely pub tucked away in the village of Ockbrook with lots of little 'snugs' as well as a well-appointed restaurant. It has an indoor skittles alley which is ideal for a great night out. A good selection of beers, friendly, welcoming staff and a tasty comprehensive menu. Well worth a visit and why not book a skittles evening as well with friends

Very old-fashioned "traditional" pub. We ordered food and were the only ones in the restaurant! I ordered the steak and ale pie, small portion, which is fine, but the edges were dried. Obviously, cut into portions before reheating. My partners steak, which should have been medium, was very rare, not rested... blood running all over the plate. He could eat it, but I wouldn't have been able to. Pleasant staff but won't return, sorry.

First time I have been here. 3 adults and 4 children. It's a really nice place looks old and original got lots of character. There is a separate garden for children and adults and adults only. Play stuff is more suitable for younger children, sandpit with toys, seesaw, 2 swings , climbing frame and playhouse. More importantly the beer was good 3 real ales which were well kept. Plenty of choice of other drinks. No complaints from me. I'd like to go back to have food there.

Lovely well looked after pub. It has nice little bit tired kids play area with around 8 tables. There is an adult garden aswell opposite the kids play area. Outdoor toilets which remain open most of the time are not the cleanest but will do. The pub itself is nice inside it has 3-4 seating zones in it including the bar area which serves soft drinks and alcohol. The restaurant itself has a specials board which is regularly changed, plus a lovely menu including steak which may I say was beautifully cooked. Aswell the staff were very friendly based on the fact they close sometimes in the afternoon, they said we could leave our glasses on the table outside the pub entrance and let us stay in the play area/family seating. Totally would recommend it

A trip out for lunch with my dad, our first try of this pub, had never been before we just saw some good reviews on here so decided to give it a go, we wasn’t disappointed!! The food was lovely & home cooked to a high standard, the menu wasn’t massive but kind of what you want for a lunch time meal anyway, still a very good selection & also was some decent starters & desserts on offer as well including homemade scotch eggs! The drink selection is good & I enjoyed a lovely pint of Bass ale. Pub Recommended!!

Quaint pub with lots of small rooms to eat and drink inside. One of the rooms can be used for functions such as discos or weddings. There is also a seating area outside for drinking and eating but this I feel is part of the carpark. Prices for food and drinks are reasonable and food is delivered quickly. The toilets are, however, outside again near the carpark which is bad in cold wet weather. Staff are nice and friendly. The venue is worth a visit

We bought a Groupon offer based on the picture on the advert on Groupon. All we got was 3 tiny finger sandwiches with minimal filling. A cheese straw which was half the size shown in the picture. No pork pie. No sausage rolls etc. A packet of crisps shared between us. Scones were nice but our cakes were cherry slice which was topped with a very runny icing & a tiny child size fairy cake topped with hundreds & thousands. Don't let the pictures fool you!!!

Decided to have breakfast here this morning, it was quaint and picturesque... so thought would be lovely, pot of tea ordered by my husband and 2 sausage and egg cobs, ... when they came we were terribly dissatisfied, one sausage that was too small for the bread and the egg it was more like having a fried egg sandwich, the egg was an extra 75p which is OK I guess but £4.35 for one sausage 1 egg in a breadcake did not feel like good value for money. Can get a dozen sausage for less than that. Queried the waitress and she just said that's how we do it 🤨 not sorry about your disappointment or anything, seamed a little rude a response if you ask me. Safe to say we won't be returning.
