Came here in the summer on a whim(girlfriend has ADHD and I played assassin's creed valhalla 😂) after a loverly experience we vowed to come back with my dad. After a loverly drive to the pub we enjoyed 3 beautiful meals(I had cottage pie, my misses had gammon, my dad had the special mint lamb steak) I tried everyone meal and would of been overjoyed with all 3,we then had dessert which are to die for(2 chocolate orange cake and a Xmas pud) the value was so good. We will be back as all left happy and full, one of the best pub meals I've ever had.

Had a great Sunday lunch. The food was very good quality and plentiful. Staff were very pleasant and attentive. The pub itself is a typical old style country establishment with knick knacks everywhere and there was also a small grocery shop on the premises.

We travel for over an hour to visit this lovely pub in Ravensthorpe. Gorgeous home cooked dishes, not the usual pub grub. The Chef, Carol comes and chats as do the staff, Patsy and Sammy and the owner Patrick. The pub sits in a lovely country village and has a beautiful reservoir.

There’s a choice of three roasts and a vegetarian option and the food is absolutely delicious and really good value. In addition, the staff are very welcoming and the pub is dog friendly ( a good idea to book if you’re taking a dog).

This is our new local pub although we came here quite a few times before moving to the village. It makes a big difference to an area when there is a really nice local pub. The food is really good and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. You can sit in the pub or in the big garden. There is a big playground for kids to play in and most importantly, the pub is dog friendly. Highly recommended to visit if you’re ever in the area.

We visited this evening for our wedding anniversary. We have not been able to come since lockdown but we’re very much looking forward to celebrating this evening. It appears that the Pub has been taking over since our last visit and the menu has been changed. No starters and the menu can only really be described as pub grub. Unfortunately they now do not stand out against any other chain restaurant. My main course was lukewarm and when I confirm that my dessert would be served hot, I was assured it would be, it came cold. We did point out that the main course was not hot and were advised to let them know in future. However from experience when one does this the other person is left to finish their meal on their own. This restaurant has always been our go to place for family celebrations and we even bought some American friends there to show them what English pubs are really like. As I said before there is nothing that makes them stand out and unfortunately we will not be back

It felt like ownership had just changed. We went in for a pub lunch on a Sunday, so roasts were the only option, but there was basically no option for vegetarians. When challenged, they offered some frozen falafel with the veg from the other roasts (and the same meat gravy...) which was just sub par for 2022. The other roasts were disappointing with fairly meagre portions and average meat. The waitress other hand was brilliant and was working super hard and was very friendly. Overall it needs a bit of a refresh...

We visited between Christmas & New Year 2019, and had a very good meal of fish and chips - the batter was especially good, light and crisp and not the usual stodge found in so many places. Because of the time of the year was a very limited menu. What was served was excellent, hot and tasty and a good portion size, the fish flaked beautifully . Staff were friendly and sociable in a very pleasant natural way, and not the forced patronising interest that you find in so many pubs. It is not a grand place, the décor could do with an update, but being a rural village pub, it probably does not get much in the way of townies expecting a chintzy place with bouncy castles, nor kids running around everywhere - if that's what you are looking for, this is not for you! Just good honest homely pub food

Typical village pub that’s not been ‘’gastroised’ yet! Lots of old fashioned charm, friendly service and a few draught beers to suit most real ale enthusiasts! We didn’t eat but the menu looked typical pub grub and reasonably priced, so might well try on a future visit. Convenient car park (adjacent to the main road) and a few spaces outside of the pub itself - but we were conscious that the pub is located in a relatively peaceful residential area, so if arriving by car I am sure both the landlord and the neighbours would prefer the main car park is used.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch in this characterful village pub with great service and hearty portions of food. It's not very appealing from the outside and the interior decor is a flash back to the eighties but don't let that put you off as the owners and staff were friendly and it's clearly popular with the locals. The 3 course lunch with drinks for the two of us came to £40 which is great value and we will be sure to return again in the future.

Ambiance cosy et familiale dans la salle du restaurant, ambiance typiquement pub au bar, tout le charme de l'Angleterre! Plats régionaux servis en portions plus que généreuses, service souriant, le délai entre la commande et l'arrivée des plats vous semblera peut être un peu long, mais vous avez la certitude que votre plat arrive de la cuisine fraîchement préparé, rien n'est cuit à l'avance! Une bonne occasion pour découvrir la cuisine anglaise qui n'est pas que le fish&chips; bien qu'ici il soit très bon.Les desserts méritent le détour, le crumble est à tomber!

My partner and I visited last week - we booked a table for two for 7pm. On arrival we spoke to the lady behind the bar who said she would prepare our table, she served our drinks and gave us a menu and instructed a very young waitress to seat us. After 15 minutes we were seated- not sure why there was a wait as all bar one restaurant table were empty and they had only just been seated.

Visited on a Saturday eve, pub was busy but not overly, waited a bar to be served for ages, she was too interested in serving the locals first. Our food was over an hour late, lots of other tables who ordered after ours got theirs, when asked how much longer we had to wait, her response was well u hadnt booked so not her fault, asked for complementary drinks, she refused this completely & walked off without any apology or some kind off gesture. When the food did arrive my dads food was wrong, he only asked for ham egg & chips, but got gammon, again we complained & her response was well thats how we do it here and again she walked off !!!!!

De haber estado aquí varias veces, me he dado cuenta de cómo la bienvenida bienvenida es deficiente. Volvió (o, más bien no! En nuestra última visita) cuando entramos en el bar estaba lleno, que era suficiente y esperas que esperar mientras se ocuparon de varios órdenes, pero no había ningún tipo de saludo. Me quedó allí durante varios minutos, y estaba completamente borrado. Eventualmente el farfulló 'estaré con usted en un minuto. Si hubiera sido yo por mí me hubiera caminado por entonces.

We visited the pub on recommendation and everything was lovely until I complained about my steak having too much Grissel through it ! The owner Gordon was the Chef that night and challenged me in a disbelieving manner ! He stormed off with my plate. I asked the waitress to tell him that I did not want another one, he came out of the kitchen shouting " Well what do you want then ? " . My partner was very upset telling him he was very rude. He ruined what started off as a very pleasant evening. He has since deleted my review on his website hence the reason I've posted one on here. Everybody in my party did like the food it's the attitude of the owner that stinks ...

Just revisited 11 Dec 2024 and unfortunately it hasn't got any better, the mains arrived before the starters, they were then taken back, the starter was good when it arrived, however when the mains were returned they had dried out, so not good. Tough and not tasty. At least my cats got a treat as I took the meat home. Will maybe try again in another couple of years, if it's still open. Very poor One of my local favorites no more. Starters arrived with no dips or salad, when questioned the bar staff ask what was missing, I didn't write the menu. Then waited to the point of leaving for the main which also arrived wrong, lost patients No apologies not offer of a refund ( wouldn't lower myself to ask for one) won't be bac. A real shame

Phoned ahead to make sure that the pub was wheelchair accessible, and could also accommodate a mobility scooter. Was assured on the phone that the pub was accessible with a ramp at the rear of the pub. On arrival we found that the accessible entrance wasn't as it first appeared. The ramp was fine, but the the actual entrance into the pub had what can only be described as a metal bar at the bottom of the doorframe in the entrance. This was to high for my electric wheelchair to safely drive over without causing damage to the chair. Equally the mobility scooter would have the same problem. The two members of staff that happened to be outside at the time were very blasé about the issue. Is the purple pound not good enough for this establishment? Such a shame, because it actually looked like a nice pub! Yet again, another business that has an archaic attitude towards disabled customers.
