The British Queen, Meldreth in North Hertfordshire

Stayed in the rooms at the back of the pub it was very clean and modern purpose built building with all things needed, towels, mini soaps, kettle, tea coffee cups. Had our evening meal at pub very nice. Lovely place to stay over and explore the area. Breakfast lovely too, ( typical all Full English) pre order what you want night before, there were other choices but not interested in them

Great food, reasonably priced, nice atmosphere. Not the easiest of places to enter by wheelchair. Service a bit slow but it was a busy Saturday night.

Popped in for lunch and asked for two jacket potatoes, to which the none too friendly landlord said 'we stop serving food at 2.00' - it was 2.03!!!! Won't be returning.

Had a lovely meal for 20 in the upstairs function room

Thank you Daisy, Alan,Steve and all staff for making us so welcome during our stay. Our room, with its private balcony, was perfect. We also particularly enjoyed the happy atmosphere and "can do" attitude of all members of staff. It goes without saying, We will return.Jill and Cliff Benson

What a wonderful addition the the delightful British Queen, a sumptuous balcony with views across the fields at the rear. Absolutely delicious 3 course lunch with my daughter despite the restrictions due to COVID-19, social distancing was observed and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, would definitely recommend

My best firend and I decided to have lunch at this pub. We had a couple of drinks and some food. As it was my treat I just paid the bill and left.I was absolutly disgusted when I checked the bill and saw that even though I had purchased a vodka and bottle of orange which was £2.30 I had been charged an additional 60p for a dash of soda.How can this be justified when it is carbonated waterand out of a gun. I know for a fact that this does not cost anything and I have never experienced this in any other pub I have been in over the years

I entered the pub and asked if there was a table outside in the shade, I was told “I dont know have a look”.Great, thanks.I then sat outside for 10 minutes, wasn’t greeted or approached by the “waiter” who passed by twice to clear up the table next to me.Went inside, asked for a beer and some food and I was told that kitchen had closed at 14:00.It was 14:01.I told them that I was sitting outside for 10mins and nobody came, to which the lady answered “we don’t do table service and you didn’t tell us you wanted food”, right after I had seen her go out from the kitchen to serve a table their food.Need to say more?

Attractive pub set in large grounds with lots of outside seating. Well-organised and great for socially-distanced world. Conventionally menu but wide range of options and well cooked. Our plates were picked clean. Well-tended beers.

Have been cycling past this pub during lockdown and watched them getting ready to reopen with a lovely big garden and outside area. Visited for the first time on the Monday evening a week after they reopened with my wife and grown up daughter. Sat inside as it was raining. The food was exactly what I like about a country pub. Good, honest food with freshly cooked vegetables. Good portion size too (important for me!). Will definitely becoming back especially when the weather is dry to sit in their huge garden! The waitress was lovely too, very friendly, helpful and attentive.

Out for Sunday Roast (my personal favourite meal!). First time at this pub and was told that it was warm and cosy, Yes it was downstairs but our pre-booed table was upstairs in a cold room!!! Our aim was to have a traditional Sunday Roast but the only roast available was beef. OK came eventually and I will admit at first glance there seemed to be plenty of thickly cut beef. However it was very rare and unfortunately hubby is not a great beef fan and I think this has turned him off even more!! In addition the vegetables which where on the menu as seasonal veg turned out to be chunks of swede, turnip with an odd smattering of carrot, plus a dull stir fry with shredded bacon. Most bizarre. NOT the traditional roast that we were looking for, so greatly disappointed. On a good note the waiter`was very helpful with all our requirements.

We had a family get-together of 20 people for an early Christmas lunch on the Saturday before. We were given the upstairs room to ourselves as there were a number of small children who could then run around and play without disturbing other guests. everything was beautifully managed: the food was really excellent; staff were sympathetic and accommodating; prices very reasonable indeed. If we ever hold another such joint party the British queen will be first on our list.

We've always known the pub for it's great hospitality and food, and used their B&B facilities before Christmas for the first time, for a couple of elderly relatives who were visiting from overseas. The rooms were lovely, modern and comfortable. They also enjoyed the option of having a lovely pub meal, just a few steps away from their accommodation. The staff as usual were brilliant, and always took time with them, despite it being a busy pub, and I would like to thank them for looking after them so well.

Visited Sunday for Birthday lunch. Hadn't booked but friendly staff found a table downstairs as I have mobility issues but there is an upstairs too. Took a walk around nearby nature reserve before eating which has a private path leading to the pub. Good range of beers and interesting menu if you want something a little different. Husband had the pigeon starter which he enjoyed. I loved the Sea bass main with orange segments and the chocolate bread and butter pudding was amazing. We will probably visit again in the summer as this was a nice alternative to our usual haunts in North Herts. Thank you.

We had a great meal, the staff were very attentive and helpful, great evening out with family with very good food.

We are a family group of 8 and came for late lunch . It was fabulous food - a real home cooked roast dinner that was so tasty and presented beautifully. The service was superb - I managed to knock my nieces lemonade over and smash the glass - it was mopped up instantly and a new lemonade presented without having to ask - further one of the waitresses whisked Sophie’s coat off to dry it for her !! Going that extra mile !!! A really lovely meal and my cheese board was a perfect end !! Thank you

Had a Sunday meal here and although it was decent it could have been better. The staff are good, very friendly, attentitive and interactive. The menu is stacked with the usual pub grub and a traditional Sunday lunch. Mrs W had the lamb, which was a surprise to me! and she didn't really enjoy it, said it could have been cooked a bit longer. I went for the staek and ale pie which was nice but the pastry was a bit thick and the portion a bit small, but I guess for the price was pretty good value. We had deserts, a bit pricey again £5-50 for ice-cream. We enjoyed it mostly but just feel it could offer that little bit more.

Following a pleasant Saturday morning 3 mile walk in Meldreth we popped into The British Queen for a coffee. This was a first visit to the pub, we were met with some very friendly staff who were happy to answer our questions concerning my wife’s gluten free diet. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be returning in the near future. The pub has a good atmosphere with a smart welcoming appearance.

One of those great finds. Lovely village pub with a warm, village atmosphere. Fantastic food and beer at average pub prices. Indeed, it was so good, I went for all 3 nights whilst working in the area. Had the Monkfish Scampi starter each evening it was that good. The pie on the first evening, also very good, but even better was the Steak. So good I had it again on the third night. Lovely open fire too. Well worth a visit.

6 of us met up here for dinner. We have been before and it is dependably good. This time I have only scored 4, as the belly pork, which 3 of us had came without crackling as they had run out. Really?? A bit disappointing. Other than that all was fine and others had salmon and mushroom wellington which were fine. Puddings were eaten with lots of grunts of satisfaction.

I will start this review with a clear message to anyone considering a stay at this location... DO IT !

We've been here a few times for food always good food. The bar inside is bit small, so best to go in good weather so we can sit outside. Staff always friendly and acomodating.

We have eaten here before and really enjoyed the food. Had dinner last night, but there clearly was a problem with the Steak and Ale pie. My wife and I both had the pie, my wife could not eat it. There was so much salt on it the taste was awful. I ate mine but did not enjoy it . The staff were very good and removed my wife's from the bill and offered an alternative. they were truly apologetic. Not the usual high standard.

Overall, this seemed nice enough - drinks were not too expensive, and efficient bar service. Also, no shortage of seating outside for a warm day like today.

Have driven past this place for a number of years now. More recently it seems to have gone through a bit of a transformation very much for the better. Nice large car park extending out the back of the Pub. We visited on a Friday night and the car park was well occupied but still plenty of places.

We were in the area and decided to have lunch here before heading home. So pleased that we did.

We called in at the last minute for Sunday lunch. Although the pub was fully booked the landlady very kindly squeezed us in.

We had the most incredible evening at the British Queen for my dads (Cliff Benson) 80th birthday party.

My wife and I had time on our hands while in the area on business.

Excellent outside seating area, huge garden.

We were treated as a special lumch 4 adults and 2 children. 1 of the children wanted pasta but not mac and cheese they made him pasta with a tomato sauce. We shared 2 starters the staff were happy to bring extra plates for us. I asked for the special. Fishcake which i asked if i could have veg rather than salad. Again no problem. The fishcake was huge and amazing couldn't eat it all. Staff were happy to box up what was left fishcake and some veggies. Desert was a trio of ice cream again they split it into 3 different bowls. Service was excellent would thoroughly recommend this pub for meals. One of the chefs even told us how he made the tomato sauce for our grandsons pasta. He demolished the bowl full. He usually gets bored eating. Well done to all the staff.

We were a large group (18) and some arrived 10 mins after appointed time due to one of our party having an accident. As a result we were seated and waiting until 50 mins after booked time before we were served. I do understand that they had to serve other customers but there was no attempt made to communicate with us so we were left waiting not knowing what was going on. The food when it did arrive was excellent. I just wish that they might have thought to let us know when we might get our food.

The venison red cabbage and asparagus was superb, full English breakfast top notch and Bex and her staff made for a very pleasant stay. There are fantastic walks along the river Mel and a stroll through the picture box village with its thatched cottages was a delight.

All newly refurbished and looking good. We were a large group of 11 people and were all served very quickly and efficiently. Great evening!

Went to British queen for my birthday. There were four of us and we had a wonderfull meal I chose the steak pie which was delicious my husband had sole in crayfish sauce and our friends had the roast. Everything was fresh and not microwaved. We enjoyed it so much we sat there chatting and didn't realise we were the last in there. The prices are very reasonable. It is a dog friendly pub and the gardens are lovely as well. We will definitely go back again.

Had lunch there today with three friends. We were in the new upstairs dining room which is very attractive and looks out over the grounds. Two of us had scampi and chips and agreed it was the best we had ever had. The other two had cod on cous cous and both said it was excellent. Service was very good but unintrusive. Reasonably priced. Only possible criticism is that the chairs are very hard to sit on for a length of time.

Visited for a family Sunday lunch. Wow! The food was amazing, all freshly prepared and delicious. Great choice on the menu, very reasonable prices and service with a smile. Would very highly recommend!

We had dinner here last night, needed to book a table. The menu is great, plenty of choices for all courses. Our food was all prepared fresh and tasted delicious. They have a great wine list at very reasonable prices. We were looked after by very friendly staff. A buzzy atmosphere a really nice place to chill out and enjoy great food.

This was my first time visiting and would definitely come back again.

We visited on a mid week evening, and found the staff really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

This British Queen has been refurbished since last we visited. And they have raised the bar of excellence too. We had lunch here with the local Garden Club and we were allocated the discrete upstairs dinning room to ourselves. It was splendid. We hadn't asked them to put on a vintage car exhibition but they did (first Monday in every month). The service was brilliant and the menu was really good - pub grub but definitely up market. I had the wood pigeon starter and the sausage main course and my wife the mushroom starter and the sea bream main course. All the dishes were wonderfully tasty and for a party of 15 served quickly as well. Well done the BQ!

Visited for lunch. Food was great- best chips we have possibly ever had! Friendly staff. Food is also great value for money. Would highly recommend and will visit again.

Our party was 16 of very critical foodies, Having dined at 235 venues in the past years it was my turn to organise the venue for our next gathering, I chose the BQ on locality , quality of recent reviews & price, we were not disappointed on any of the criteria.We had the upstairs dining room to ourselves with excellent service from the staff in supplying us with our regular ordering of drinks.The food arrived via the dumb waiter, therefore no cold food.We all had various choices & to say everyone enjoyed all 3 courses with not one criticism.Excellent food & excellent service , 16 very happy diners.The upstairs dining room has toilets on the same floor so no up & down stairs , & they were spotless & well maintained.As norm the bar has a good range of beers & wines.Question , would I recommened it for any occasion as the pub has a good varied menu? Yes thoroughly recommended.Would I go back ? Yes, will be going back very soon.The garden is very extensive with lots of tables & seating , so ideal for the families & alfresco dining, & a very comfortable bar & dining room inside as well.

Great food, wine and staff, we had a lovely evening just a shame you felt the need to charge us £6 for three pints of Soda Water having spent over £220 between 4 of us !!

We don't live in the area, and were visiting friends who have just moved there. We booked a dinner on Saturday night.

A lovely, homely pub with open fires and a welcoming atmosphere. The attentive staff ensured we were well looked after, the food arrived when promised and was delicious.

V nice food, great decor. Homely but modern. Not too busy Slightly slow service but no problem. Good value too

12 Dec 2018 dining date. Great work from the team Food was delicious for the 6th consecutive year. Service of a good standard. Thanks

I recently eat here with a couple of friends, all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I've been trying to drag my friends back, so I could once again sample the best sticky toffee pudding I've ever had. Too busy to join me and not wanting to dine alone. I rang the BQ on the off chance they might let me order my favourite pudding as a takeaway.

Lunch on a cold, wet day after a walk. Friendly welcoming staff, varied and interesting menu and can accommodate most dietary requirements (inc gluten free and vegan) Fires going in both grates- bliss! The place has a lovely atmosphere

We visited at lunch time and choose to sit in the dining area, which although small is nicely laid out and everyone had enough elbow room.

Have been to this place a few times and have always had lovely food and great service. Would highly recommend. Make sure you book if you're going at a peak time.

The team under the watchful eye of Alan couldn’t have been more helpful in the arrangements for my fathers 90th birthday celebrations. They even provided excellent weather for the occasion. At the time of

I visited this fine establishment twice over the weekend as I was attending a music festival a short walk from the pub. The food was fantastic on the Friday, but I was even more overjoyed that they also serve gluten free pizza. Both my husband and I had the pizza on the Saturday - mine was vegan and gluten free as I'm allergic to dairy and wheat and don't eat meat. He had an italian pepperoni one. And wow! what amazing and tasty pizzas they were too. The crust was absolutely gorgeous: flavoursome with a pleasant doughiness and crispy outside. I have never tasted better and there were a lot of 'oohs' and 'ahs' as we consumed our wonderful food. Staff were nice too. Definitely coming back!

Have eaten here many times whilst Keith was manager and always enjoyed. We booked and went with an open mind and thought the changes to pub were great. New outside area, decor changes etc.

I popped into the pub on Sunday afternoon for an impromptu drink with my wife. It soon became apparent lots of others had had the same idea and the pub was incredibly busy. Not letting that deter us we headed inside to the bar for some drinks and this is where the problems began. We were completely ignored by bar staff who blatantly served other more familiar customers before us despite us being there first. When we did eventually get served the barmaid was abrupt to the point of rudeness. Nevertheless we enjoyed our drinks in the lovely garden area and thought no more about it. That is until the experience was repeated when I returned to the bar for a refill. I stood there waiting whilst bar staff chatted to 3 other familiar customers and prioritised their service despite me being their first. This happening once can be forgiven as mistakes like this can easily happen at busy times, but for this to happen 2 out of 2 visits to a bar by the same member of staff is poor customer service. My advice to the British Queen would be to sort out your customer service, your facilities are excellent but it’s poor practice when your bar staff prioritise socialising at the bar over serving new customers who are left waiting. Needless to say we won’t be returning.

The British Queen is a beautiful village Pub, with its own restaurant which has a fantastic selection of food to suit everyone. The Pub is set in beautiful surroundings, with plenty of room for children to play whilst you enjoy a drink, also extremely popular with dog walkers.

Have been to the British Queen a number of times as it is a handy location for a quick lunch out.

Had a great pub meal on spec at the British Queen with my wife. Always treated like royalty. Good food good service.

We stopped off for lunch after visiting the Wimpole Estate. The choice of sandwiches was excellent and the chips were so delicious I’d go back for those alone! The staff were welcoming and the pub has loads of charm. Highly recommended!

This pub is one of the better pubs in the area. Its community feel commends it.

Just got home after a mother's day treat . Dinner at The British Queen

Visited here for first time. Greeted in a very busy bar, shown through to dining room. Order taken, food cooked to order. Generous portions. All fine. Will go again.

had sunday lunch yesterday with a friend who lives in the village, one of the best pub sunday roasts ive had, beef was delicious pink & tasty good mix of veg. nice surrounding, friendly staff & could take the dog. lovely

We visited for a family dinner. It was delicious, we will be coming again. I will recommend the British queen to everyone

Had Saturday lunch here yesterday, very friendly staff and management. Nice menu plenty of options. They have a small restaurant area we decided to sit in the pub area for our lunch. All of the food was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. The burgers were absolutely fabulous. Good size portions, a nice fire was going made it feel very warm and inviting. If your driving plenty of parking. If you want to eat in the restaurant you need to book as this place can get very busy.

The menu choices are good - something for everyone. The food was exceptional - by far the best food we've had in a pub. The service was quick and friendly even though the restaurant was busy. We had a lovely evening and will definitely be returning,

Our local village pub, first time of eating at the BQ. Very welcoming, helpful staff. Lots of choice on menu,...

We have always enjoyed this lovely traditional pub with friendly staff. However, they have decided to change the menu which...

This is a lovely pub but thought we walked into a kindergarten! There were lots of children in the pub...

Friendly and helpful staff throughout our meal. Good choice on the menu and a few dishes on the specials board...

Visited British Queen midweek to meet friends while staying in the area. Plenty of tables and space outside for a pre meal drink, lovely large garden. We ordered and were shown to our table in a lovely furnished dining room starters we tried were whitebait chicken goujons and potted fish ( all were excellent) All our main meals were also well presented and tasty (chicken pie, fish and chips and scampi) unfortunately no room for pud. We all throughly enjoyed our mid week meal and the staff were very helpful and courteous.

Qué lugar fabuloso. Gran personal realmente amable. Lado hermoso pecado con características originales desde el 1720. La comida es casera y deliciosa. Si quieres comida deliciosa y un pub tradicional es una visita obligada.

Metimos en con un amigo y nuestros niños un jueves por la tarde. Dos caballeros detrás del bar era muy agradable y servicial. Interior del pub es muy acogedor.

No podía ser molestado para cocinar esta noche, a veces frecuentan este pub para bebidas, principalmente los domingos, cuando la gente a menudo se unen. Es una rareza moderno no había televisión, una chimenea en invierno, un amplio jardín para el verano y un buen sentimiento de comunidad, justo lo muchos pueblos británicos están perdiendo estos días. En cuanto a la comida, no pretende ser lo que no es como muchos establecimientos estos días. Es simplemente honesto pub grub que no defrauda. . Esta noche. TUVE las pintadas de la junta especial y toda la placa incluye las verduras era excelente! No entiendo las críticas negativas aquí de algunos, esas personas necesitan salir más. Este pueblo es uno de los mejores kilómetros alrededor y el personal ayuda a crear por su amabilidad y siempre te hacen sentir bienvenido, además de no soportar cualquier pavada, sí ladran perros y niños scream, que es vida, pero no puedo decir que me he dado cuenta en este lugar. Venga y disfrute, no te decepcionará.

We went to have a drink last Saturday to check the pub out and read the menu with a view to booking for lunch on Sunday but we were greeted by the landlady saying@ I hope you are not here to eat", we could see there was a wedding party and frankly would have been happy "Hello" , then we did stay for a drink, mostly out of politeness and when visiting the ladies loo, the lack of hygiene was overwhelming to say the least and I am not prepared to say what we saw happened behind the bar after this but suffice it to say a revisit is an absolute NO from us! Shocked to say the very least!!

We have a had, in the past, a few pints at The British Queen but have never eaten there. A wonderful warm Sunday so an Al Fresco meal was called for. As we arrived so did a ‘coach party’ of about 22 people who managed to order their food before us. No problem as it gave us further time to have a few drinks more. I think the kitchen was under immense pressure as our order was delayed but, we were informed. I wondered if the wait would be worth it. It was. One beautiful Sunday roast beef roast, chicken in white wine, baked camembert (for our veggie) and a fantastic skate wing for me. Fantastic food and well worth the wait. The dog even got a treat from the landlord.Service at the bar was friendly, cutlery etc delivered to our table outside and the food was incredible. OK, waiting time……..no, I am going to take into account all those people arriving, the quality of the food we ate and not knocking off a star. It was brilliant, thank you one and all.

Visited this pub on recommendation of a colleague,our meeting was drowned out by a dog constantly barking & a child screaming,I appreciate its listed as a cosy child & dog friendly establishment,how about making it a bit more adult human friendly,you know,the ones who pay the bill.Wont be visiting again after voicing concern to staff& being rudely dealt with as if I was the problem,maybe because I wasn't a regular.

Regularly visit The British Queen on our dog walks along the River Mel from Melbourn. When the weather is good there's nothing better than to refresh with a lovely cool drink before the return walk from Meldreth. The pub has a fabulous sized garden which leads down to the river and a bridge linking it the the Riverside walk.Even when the weather is cold you are welcomed into the pub with your dogs to have a drink and a warm up by the open fireplaces. We always feel welcome and would highly recommend this pub.

We stopped here after being turned away from another local pub as we had our dog with us. It was far too cold a day to sit outside. We received a lovely friendly welcome at The British Queen but missed lunch by 5 mins. We couldn't even get a sandwich. This is acceptable as these village establishments have to have their cut off times and book their chefs/cooks for set times. We had a good local beer and a crisp dry white wine. Plus a couple of bags of crisps and peanuts which was fine. We sat on a comfy sofa by a large fireplace and everything was pleasantly decorated. Would go again.

We had a relaxed meal with four people and a dog for a birthday supper at this local pub in Meldreth. We reserved a table and checked they were happy that we bring our dog and they said yes as long as we ate in the bar area. We were seated next to a real log fire, and ordered from their concise menu and received good advice on portion size and specials. The food is good quality and pleasingly straight forward with a selection of starters and mains and specials. And the desserts were exceptional. The table service was exceptional too, and one of the best I have had in a pub and made this clear to Sue. Our dog was made a fuss of by several of the customers and staff, which he enjoyed immensely. If you want a cheerful family and dog friendly night out at a pub with tasty food the British Queen really will fit the bill.

We dined here for the first time recently and although we did enjoy our evening the food was .....okishIt would not tempt us back again. It was not 'special' and to tempt diners out these days you need to be offering a bit above what we found here. Pleasant service.

great lunch in meldreth with friends ,staff where lovely and very attentive .A proper country pub run by locals

The old adage 'use or lose' should be in forefront of your mind when considering dining at a village pub; so many are closing for lack of use. One that deserves your patronage is the delightful 'The British Queen' in the village of Meldreth (4 miles north of Royston, off the A10). Our group of five arrived at this carefully and tastefully restored historic building and were greeted by two friendly barmen (of a certain age), one of them showed us to our table in the attractive separate dining room. There was a distant buzz from locals drinking in the bar. Our drinks order, selected from a range of real ales, came swiftly and we then placed our food order, all choosing to select a main, possibly leaving room for a desert later (ginger sponge pudding?) We had heard good reports of the pies - short-crust pastry top and bottom - and two went for steak and ale and another two for the chicken, leek and mushroom. The fifth member of our group had the chicken breast stuffed with ricotta & spinach and wrapped in Parma ham. All dishes came with a variety of fresh vegetables and all were enjoyed, the generous portions resulting in each having a coffee to round off their meal as no room was left for a 'pud'!We can certainly recommend a short detour off the A10 for a meal here; in fact, we would recommend that you aim your car specifically here for an enjoyable experience and certainly a satisfying meal.

I had a lovely meal on Saturday night in the restaurant at The British Queen with friends. This is one of my favourite places in the area to come for dinner and drinks; the food is always fantastic and the staff are always friendly and welcoming, plus the prices are very reasonable. There was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant and in the bar area afterwards which made for a very enjoyable evening. I would definitely recommend this pub and they do a fantastic sunday roast as well.

Despite living only 5 miles from this pub restaurant we had not used it until this week.We were recommended to it by our daughter and she was proved right.Yes the bar area is still a pub at heart but it is very welcoming as was the manager who could not have been more friendly or helpful.AS well as the bar area where we ate the restaurant looks very nice and relaxed.MENU-Not too extensive but varied and interesting.Quality of food was excellent and could not be faulted.We plan to use this place regularly both for Dinner and Lunch

Found great little pub in a lovely village surrounding. All food ordered looked and tasted amazing, had the lasagne and was the best I've ever had, freshly homemade. All staff very friendly and helpful so whole heartedly recommend. Already booked for Christmas meal with friends and family and looking forward too it. Specials and menu varied and tasty.

Pub carino e accogliente. Personale molto amichevole e piatti basati su prodotti locali, con una buona scelta di specials. Buon rapporto prezzo qualita'

Nice enough pub but avoid the lasagne! Possibly the worst reheated meal ever served. People seem nice though.

Have eaten here with a group of friends lots of times, and it has always been good. Service is good too.

Great little pub in the heart of Meldreth with roaring log fire and a choice of Adnams Ghost Ship, Woodfordes Werry, Greene King IPA and Doombar ales plus a good choice of wines etc. Good start then. Ebullient and welcoming host serving a busy restaurant. Food cooked to order so don't expect it in 5min. Worth the wait - venison stew was sublime, big serving with dumplings, winter veg, ciabatta (or mash), piping hot and delicious to the last mouthful. Sea bream was served with orange and tarragon plus veg and was considered 'absolutely delicious' by someone who is not a huge 'fish' fan but was clearly converted! Ham, egg & chips also a generous portion and nicely cooked. Puds? They'd almost run out but sticky toffee and custard did not disappoint. Looking forward to going back.

Attractive country pub. Ample parking. Large garden. Very nicely decorated interior. Eat in the bar area or separate small dining area. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food is great. We will return , hope to try Sunday lunch next time.

One of our favourite local village pubs. Great food, reasonable prices, proper home made delicious food. Lovely atmosphere, nice beer garden and the missippi mud pie is a must!Impressive cheese board, generous portions.Home made chips, everything about this pub is great.Friendly and welcoming staff.You won't be disappointed.

This is a great little village pub that has a fine choice of wines and beers. The food, although not haute cuisine, is good quality pub fare with a good menu. Advise you book as the dining room is not the largest! The decor is in good shape and there is a very large garden. This is a true pub with locals at the bar but you're always made welcome and service is quick and polite.Give it a shot......it'll surprise you!

This pub was recommended to us by the owners of the nearby b&b where we were staying. They phoned to book a table for us & although the restaurant was full a table was reserved for us in the bar. On arrival we found that the place was heaving both inside and out, even though it was only 6.30pm. A smiling barmaid showed us to our table and quickly returned to take our order. From a fairly extensive menu we both chose the lasagne, which came with plentiful garlic bread and salad. It arrived promptly and was really delicious, and that combined with the lovely atmosphere made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Turned up late and hungry and was served with a smile and the food was delicious! I had homemade steak and ale pie, yum yum. Very nice pub with a walk way to the woods. The garden is well kept. They have had pigs and sheep there too!

Met up with family for lunch here. It came highly recommended. Great atmosphere. Table laid beautifully. Good menu choices The portions are huge. We'll presented and excellent quality. The hosts were lovely too. I'd go back

The restaurant was smaller than I thought is was going to be, Menu had lots of choice and very much enjoyed my risotto. Shame the puddings weren’t home made as would have made it perfect

Room to ourselves as there were 20 of us. Staff coped well and the meal was good. Good value for money.

Super lunch today. Nice log fire and food and staff great. Stuffed chicken breast with lovely fresh veg and super sauce. Well done to you all. Xxx
