The Crabtree in Horsham

Great homely place, I felt comfortable going in on my own food was great

This pub is very expensive went for Sunday lunch £24 for roast dinner 1 semi thick slice of lamb 2 roast potatoes 2 small chunks of carrot 2 slices of parsnips and a small amount of cabbage, the Yorkshire being big gives the impression of dinner being big. Better value at Bolney Stage. Will not be returning.

Went for Sunday lunch, a nice place but very expensive how can they charge £24 for the Lamb when you get 2 roast potatoes 2 chunks of carrot 2strips of parsnips and a small amount of cabbage and a very large Yorkshire pudding, the size of the Yorkshire gives the impression the meal looks big, and the roast beef is £21. I will not return not at these prices.

Went there for a family lunch. The food was ok, atmosphere was underwhelming with quite loud music. Very popular with local families, so don’t expect a peaceful quaint experience. Not for us again- sorry.

I booked the 23rd march for my 50th birthday celebrations (yes the actual day of my birthday!) at the crabtree .On my original reservation i put a note that i was celebrating this big milestone. My sister also called in advance to see if they could do something special to note this occassion. We were met by staff who were unattentive and preferred chatting in groups of 3 rather than take a drinks order which we had to ask for eventually.There was no "happy Birthday" and when paying bill we mentioned that this was a special event well noted to them in advance. They begrudgingly bought out a plate with a candle stuck in a piece of malt bread ( that went with the cheeses desert) and a scrawled happy birthday on the plate .They staff were more interested in leaving for the end of their shift. I was notably deflated and disappointed and wish i had chose somewhere else to celebrate my special day. Will not be recommending to anyone .Highly disappointing all round

Decided to stop for lunch, & seeing a Michelin sticker on the door expected the food here to be nice. However we were extremely disappointed as the special we chose a Ciabatta with steak & horseradish with skinny fries was not up to the mark. Cutting through some of the meat was almost impossible as it was so tough & inedible. We mentioned this to the waitress when she asked if all was ok & were told she would sort something out. Nothing happened so we continued trying to eat what we could, leaving a lot on the plate. I asked for the bill with no reduction or apology & when we asked to see someone the Manageress was extremely rude & reluctantly gave us a discount saying that we should have made mention, which we had before eating it all which we hadn’t.The place was cold along with the atmosphere. There was a guy with chefs/cooks clothes on who we could see through the window of the kitchen area, who seemed to spend a lot of time by the back door on his mobile phone & wiping his running nose on the back of his hand, instead of dishing up edible food, very off putting. Service was poor for which you are charged for & I would not recommend.

Went for our anniversary dinner - very cosy spot .. roaring fire .. lovely pub atmosphere. Service was great - our waitress was lovely and was happy to make recommendations. Excellent food. We had super fish and mushroom pasta for mains - both really good. Dessert was beautifully presented and lovely end to our meal.

Fish and chips good. But dissappointed the bottle of wine that we ordered was switched for a more expensive one,which the waitress failed to mention . Consequently, we declined to pay the discretionary service charge

Brian's new place to have a pint

Had heard generally good things about The Crabtree so decided to pop in for a Saturday lunch but left fairly disappointed. Service was very slow (there for three hours for a main and dessert for four) and multiple mistakes were made, including swaps for allergies being forgotten and sauces left off. Besides that, the food isn’t much to write home about, especially for the price. Badly cooked steak, not great cooking on the veg with the lamb and a plate of ‘gnocchi’ that was basically potato croquettes. Would avoid.

We choose this venue for a small lunchtime family gathering. Warm, welcoming and a relaxing atmosphere. Service was good, as was the food and the smell of the log burner on a rather wet and dismal day was delightful 😊

Looks like someone read my last review – the change is instantly noticeable. The staff were warm on arrival and attentive throughout the meal (there was a power outage the night we ate and the staff seemed unfazed by it – well done). The food was generous and well-presented. The place was buzzing and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Recommended.

Table booked for 2pm for a family meal but it wasn’t ready. Had to wait until nearly 2.30pm to sit down. Quickly ordered but our main course didn’t come until 3.40pm. Drinks were ordered and forgotten about, had to ask for cutlery several times. We had planned to have pudding but were running out of time by then and weren’t confident it wouldn’t involve a long wait too. On a positive note the waiting and bar staff were very friendly and apologetic but were clearly run off their feet. The pub was very busy, tables squished together, hard to move about. I felt that the pub was trying to fit in too many covers to the detriment of the service and quality of food.

Here for lunch, food OK, needs more plant based and fresh options.

We were recommended to this pub after some previous good experiences from other family members. Being once a Michelin star establishment we had High hopes. What a let down! We arrived on time at 2 pm and were shown to the table. Menu issued and a glass of water served, which was a nice touch. We did take a little extra time to choose our meal - probably 10 - 15 minutes whilst sipping our wine - the waitress had asked us twice. 'If we were ready'. We ordered squid and corn ribs to start and the rib eye steaks for mains. The starters were ok but nothing really special. The corn ribs were different, which made a change. The wait for the main meal course was at least another half an hour. The mains were served and medium rare and medium were in fact well done and medium ish. The thickness of the steak was about 20mm at best. These steaks should be 25 - 40 mm. (was one cut in half to accommodate?) May have just reached 8 oz at best. (not as per menu's on site.) These were £30 each. There were only 8 chips and three large onions rings. No taste of pepper in the sauce. No colour on the plate - tomatoes or peas would have enhanced the dish. The waitress asked and we replied that the steaks were not cooked exactly to our liking but as they were so tender we said not to change them. We did have the offer though. In an attempt to compensate for the over cooked steak an offer of a desert on the house was offered and accepted. Couldn't believe the size of the desert - sticky toffee pudding. 100mm high x 100mm long x 75mm high. The chef doing this was not a clever move. Not only was my wife over faced with it, it was dry, but our thoughts that the chef had a bit of attitude was confirmed. He was certainly being patronising. All in, a pretty bad experience. I feel for the waitress as she was the only strong positive of this establishment. I do hope Management take some interest in these comments and take them on board, as they should be taken as constructive. At the end of the day reviews of this type will etch into the revenue and eventually the collapse of a business that should otherwise be a great success with little more effort. I agree that not all the customers can be satisfied all of the time (if they are so pedantic) but the aim should be to satisfy all. Total cost £120.00 including bottle of wine. £27 Lift your game. Put a smile on your face even if you're having a bad day. Sack the chef Managers comment would be appreciated.

Nice little pub! Love a pub lunch! Burger is a must!

Gorgeous pub with cosy wood burners. Great fish and chips!

Great Sunday roast dinner, friendly staff and a log burning fireplace. It doesn't get better than this.

I was hoping for a nice lunch because our friends had said how nice it was. The pub itself is actually really nice and I couldn't complain about the waiting staff who were very attentive. Unfortunately this wasn't matched by the quality of the food. Three out of the four of us ordered liver in a sauce which sounded nice. Unfortunately when it arrived all three of the meals were only lukewarm and we sent all of them back. As the liver was full of sinew and was unpleasant I said I'd have fish and chips instead which I'd seen someone else have and looked lovely. The fourth meal, (Sea bass) was fine. We then had to wait about 45 minutes for the replacement meals to arrive. To be honest when I looked at the fish and chips they then sent out I actually thought it was a joke. It looked like the meal had been scraped out of the bin. As I am diabetic I had to try to eat some of it before I became a medical emergency otherwise I would have sent it straight back as well. As it was, two chips and a bit of the fish was all I could stomach and I left the rest. I asked the waitress if we had been pushed to the back of the queue and she said they were very busy and were trying to fit us in. One of our friends liver was virtually inedible and she left most of it. The other liver was ok. Would I go back or recommend this place? Not on your life.

We came out on a horrible night (weather-wise) to meet some friends as The Crabtree was about "half way" for both of us. We had not been before, but our friends had .... a very long time ago ... We had a really great evening .... excellent food, lovely staff - thank you!!!

Excellent family lunch. We had a really tasty main and pudding. Very friendly and attentive staff. Lovely log fire providing a great atmosphere. Nice wide choice of food items. All the food we ordered arrived hot and was so tasty.

I do not understand why the previous people have written such a harsh review about the service they received yesterday? We have been coming to the pub for many years and the service received is always friendly and professional. We had a lovely meal on New Year’s Eve evening which considering how busy the pub had been all day the team did an outstanding job. The beef wellington was perfectly cooked encased in flaky pastry, the roast potatoes crispy on the outside fluffy inside and a plenty of delicious rich gravy served in individual jugs. The DJ provided a fun atmosphere and we also had the chance to deafen everyone with karaoke. Thanks everyone for putting on a great evening !!

We turned up for our NYE lunch with our 3 kids but had made the booking for 4 as our step-daughter wasn’t due to be with us. We needed to squeeze one more in and the hostess was so horrifically rude. She made us feel like we weren’t wanted or welcome and smirked at us as she reluctantly said we could go to the table. She genuinely thought about refusing to let us in. The only extra space required was for a high chair and there was plenty of room. But her demeanour was so awful it completely ruined the special family meal before it had even begun. So we left the restaurant. The hostess did the pub out of around £300-400 of revenue. I also explained to the bar staff, two young girls, why we were leaving and they found it funny and laughed in my face and I then heard them laughing to the hostess who returned from reluctantly getting a high chair. It’s probably the most awful customer service I have ever experienced and I won’t be back. As someone in the hospitality industry, I’m well aware you take revenue when you can get it and this wasn’t an imposition on The Crabtree. It could easily have been accommodated. But we won’t return to be treated by dirt. Big mistake.

Excellent visit marred only by a long delay for our main courses.

Went for family early Christmas meal with my son and daughter inlaw and my 3 year old grandson. When we first arrived I was put on alert about the staff as waiting to be seated my daughter inlaw was barged out the way with no excuse me or sorry as a member staff got past. Sat down order taken drinks and starter ok took a while but you expect that nearly Christmas. Well waited nearly hour and half for main that is ridiculous and especially as have a 3 year old. Not acceptable would of sat better with me if they even offered a free drink why we waited but nothing. Then waiting for the bill after asking for it another 30 minutes the girl asked us to wait another minute then began serving a big group of men waiting at bar for drinks. So waited a bit after a while I went up and said we are going all had our coats on waiting not good enough surely we should of been looked after took seconds to pay where they took ages to do the mens drinks. We were there for about 3.5 hours with 3 year old. Service not good enough staff didn't even say goodbye when we left. Food was the only good thing that was good but made the experience flat because of service. Not first time we been here very disappointed as was my get together with my family

It's a lovely pub, full of interesting nooks and crannies, fires, beams etc. The pub was busy with a buzzing atmosphere. Service was good, very friendly staff. Considering how busy it was, they did a good job. I don't eat meat so always interested to see how much effort is made for vegetarian or plant based options. The main plates lacked options (nothing plant based for a main) and creativity for me. Though the food I ordered was nice. It's a lovely venue, I really liked the staff. Though I'd look for a menu change to visit again.

We had booked a table for 5 of us at 5.15pm early so we could enjoy a leisurely meal and drinks before heading off to Leonardsee Illuminations booked for 19.45. We ordered drinks, and our starters arrived shortly after our food order was taken. We then found ourselves waiting over an hour for our mains, so we asked a waitress where ours was, as the other tables around us were being served theirs, despite all having arrived some time after us! She returned and apologised that the bigger table nearby was being served first, and we would be next ...ten+ minutes later for 3 plates, a further wait for the remaining two. My partner and I both ordered the venison rump from the Christmas menu, His portion clearly was smaller than mine, with two small stacked 'steaks', unlike mine with a thick rump, it was tasty but lacked any vegetables, it was only served with 4 new potatoes, a single mushroom and grilled cherry vine tomatoes (4 on my partner's plate). So some 'greens' would have been welcome. Our friend's vegetarian options arrived with a burned pastry crust hidden under the gravy and a small thing resembling stuffing crumbs supposedly 'cauliflower cheese'. We asked for more cauliflower cheese, but it didn't arrive. We called the waitress over to make a complaint to management, she said she would go and ask, returning to tell us the general manager was in the kitchen, and would we like her to come out? - like she'll come out only if she really has to? When the manager came out in a very surly manner, she was clearly set for an argument rather than any apology and compromise. We stated our issues as detailed above. Apparently, the cauliflower cheese is supposed to be a crumb ‘for texture’. Then she had the audacity to tell us that (as per the times she had on our order ticket), our 1 hour 20 minute wait between courses was acceptable. It was now 7.20, and we'd only just finished our mains, and we asked what chance was there for us to have any dessert in the time we had left? To which she replied it would be at least another 10-15 minutes, so her recommendation was to not bother, as we should have made better plans and arrived earlier if we needed to be going elsewhere! We replied we'd been there since 5.15, only then did she agree to any reduction in our bill! So we clearly weren't going to get dessert, we asked for the bill the cost of one main was removed. The bill itself was also extremely confusing to enable us to spilt it out between us. Having now read other recent reviews, it's clear that customer expectations are not being met. We had clearly been forgotten, and our plates rushed. If you want to enjoy a 3 course meal, please allow yourself at least 3-4 hours and be prepared to be disappointed with little or no compensation without a fight. Customers here do not come first.

It's a lovely pub, full of interesting nooks and crannies, fires, beams etc. The pub was busy with a buzzing atmosphere. Service was good, very friendly staff. Considering how busy it was, very pleased. I don't eat meat so always interested to see how much effort is made for vegetarian or plant based options. The main plates lacked options (nothing plant based for a main) and creativity for me. Though the food I ordered was nice. It's a lovely venue, I really liked the staff. Though I'd look for a menu change to visit again.

Very slow service, table not ready at reserved time. Over 1 hour 30mins to be served with food. Steak was then served overcooked. Disappointed and other tables in the restaurant all experienced slow food service and sent food back. Waiting staff very apologetic but clearly there are kitchen issues to be resolved.

Won’t be going back!!! An hours waits between starter and main course being served. My main finally arrived burnt and swimming in gravy ( possibly to disguise the burnt offering ). The cauliflower cheese expected with the dish was laughable and what was on my plate was crumbly and dry. I was told when complaining it’s offered for texture….I pay for taste not texture! The manager needs lessons in public relations as they were very offish after we asked to see them regarding our service and meals ( other friends had reason to complain ) Possibly one of the worst experiences of eating out I have had. Oh and the food is very overpriced for the standard offered.

2 years ago, I gave this place a 5 star review and we've been going back ever since.....that was until Friday this week, where we had such an apalling experience, we won't be back again. We arrived at 7.15, and whilst there were still empty tables available, there were no menus to provide us with. It took 10 minutes to get 1 menu, and we had to ask for it. We were seated in the area out the back that was like sitting in a freezer and when the poor elderly ladies on the table next to us said when they left that they were freezing they were advised that they could have had the heater put on for them. The heater wasn't put on for another 10 minutes!! Someone coming to take a drinks order took 15 minutes from sitting down. So we waited, and waited, and waited.... 50....50 minutes(!) after being seated, we were told our food would be next, only then to be told 2 minutes later after the couple on the next table had their starters after waiting 40 minutes (for whitebait and pate 🙄) "we're just serving a table of 6, then yours is coming" Thoroughly disappointed, and we won't be returning. If there was an option for 0 stars they would have had it

We arranged for a family gathering of 11 people and one dog. The staff sat us a large table and Olivia looked after us very well throughout the meal. All diners with varied courses said their food was excellent. Even the dog (well behaved) was given a bowl of water. Very minor niggle was that several people had to contend with table legs. We have been to the Crabtree before which led us to return. It is a convenient location with good parking.

My and my husband went here for a birthday lunch with his mum and our daughter. We booked a table for 3.15pm and the menu looked amazing. Just as we arrived two groups entered before us. One a big group of 9 and another a smaller group of 4. the big group of 9 apologised for being "a little late" and asked to be seated. My husband overhead a conversation between staff saying that they were in fact over an hour late. Despite, this and despite two more groups behind them - they were seated, then the next group whose booking was also at 3.15 were seated. When it was our turn to be seated, strangely our table table "wasn't ready" and we were asked if we'd like to take a seat and have a drink while they reset the table. A little put out, but going with it, we said ok and then a few minutes later we were sat at out table. Not too bad then. Nope - our food took over an hour to come out. Whilst the three roasts were good (apart from the fact that I got no horseradish sauce, the beef wasn't medium rare as promised and a load of salty gravy had been tipped over my food) - my husband's burger was burnt. It was not pleasant but as he was hungry he ate as much as he could. So any other time I can imagine this place would be a wonderful setting for a regular Sunday lunch - let alone a birthday one - as long as you don't mind gravy being poured all over your food. BUT one decision about a large group of people who were an hour late, who should have been asked to wait while they seated customers who were on time, on what was clearly a very busy day, tainted our experience. Nevertheless I left a small tip (not the "discretionary" 10% though), because the service was great, and the food (apart from the burger) was tasty and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Would I go back? I'd have to think about it. Suggestion to front of house team: if someone is over 15 minutes late in most eateries - they normally forfeit their table precisely so that on-time customers don't suffer. :(

The main courses did look OK on the plate however we thought the menu was limited and it would have been nice to preview the menu before booking. The desserts were just average and at £8 each the portions were small and didn’t feel special. Wine menu is changing so review what you order against the bottle that arrives.

Short notice lunch at The Crabtree, very accommodating. Just finished off wedding at South Lodge over the road needed sustenance after tiring week. Lovely roast beef lunch relaxing atmosphere 😎 👌 Will try and keep it a secret.

We visited The Crabtree for my Mums 90th Birthday. There was just under 30 of us and we were looked after perfectly. Helen had set up a room for us in a horseshoe arrangement which meant we were all able to see and chat to each other. The food was well cooked and of an extremely high quality and it was served in a very professional and friendly manor. We received regular check ups on how everything was and whether we required drinks etc. From the very first communication about the availability of table space to the settling of the bill , we received first class , courteous service. We will definitely return. Thank you very much All at The Crabtree

I had heard good things about the Crabtree but until now had not experienced the restaurant itself. Booking was easy. On arrival we were shown to an excellent table in a fairly small but interesting room which looked out on a mass of greenery. The...

Lovely place and food is good but fairly limited menu choice

Terrible service. Food sent back because it was cold. Empty glasses left on table throughout meal. Several requests for water. Hot side dishes from oven left on table without giving out so friends had to get up with napkins to get them. Will not be...

Really nice lunch here, good quality food and staff were really friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you!

i saw a michelin star award for 2000 and something so i thought this should be good, well it didn't deserve a michelin tyre the food was comparable to the turkey i the movie in national lampoons, batter was overcooked with a minuscule of fish in it, chips were raw when i complained i was given 10% off the bill and an offer of more chips. sorry never again.

Called into the Crabtree on the off chance and although the restaurant was quite busy they found a table for us. Food and service were first class so we’ll be back soon.

As has been noted elsewhere, they do a great deal to promote their mention in Michelin 2021 but that’s all it was, not a “bib gourmand” and certainly NOT a Star and it hasn’t been continued this year and for good reason. Half the staff...

Very quaint pub. Staff exceptional, very accommodating, polite & always smiling.

Guys, what have you done to this place? It had gone from being amazing place with delicious food to serving average burgers and fish&chips. Last summer we visited numerous times. This summer we came once - awful food. Will not going to come back. Maybe just for drinks...

It's such a shame that after such a wonderful meal and great service, there were £16 worth of drinks added to our (which were certainly not ours, as we did not order any beer) bill, even after giving the staff a generous tip. It was partly my fault for not checking the bill properly before I paid up and left. Such a shame after a pleasant evening and it makes me reluctant to return.

We went here in a group of 15 people, and were asked to pre-order our food, which was a little annoying. Twice during the service, we had two meals that were forgotten, which meant others were finished before their meal had even been served...not ideal. The meals were discounted from the total, which was very nice of the pub, but a shame it happened. Overall the food was fine, but the service was poor.

We have been here several times over years for dinner and lunch. Until now it has always been good, not cheap, but good. We took friends there Friday evening for dinner, thinking it would be a good choice, based on past experiences. It was not!...

We stopped for a Light lunch on the way back from Gatwick. The Food was OK ish ,Charcuterie was thick chunks of Italian sausage and some other meat I didn't recognise, salad so so. beer £7 a pint !!! twice the local average. Service was...

My friends and I had a great time here this weekend. The food was excellent and Freya who served us was so helpful and professional that she really made our night. Well done Freya and the team, we will definitely be back!

If I could give no stars I would. Terrible doesn’t come close. How they had the nerve to present me with a bill ?? They acknowledged there had been a problem crossing out service charge. Two hours waiting for the main. Microwaved odd tasting overcooked dry burgers with a few uncooked hard chips. No salad in sight !! My roast was ok but I have had so much better. Obviously they forgot us! No apology just glared at when I asked if our food was coming ? Please don’t waste your money. So sad it promises so much although menu rather sad but honestly very very poor.

The best scones in West Sussex!!!

Celebrated my mum’s 80th Birthday at the delightful Crabtree this year. Helen and staff made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The food was beyond excellent, all our expectations were met and we would undoubtedly recommend anyone to this well-run, well-situated...

Absolutely brilliant place. We were looking for somewhere to eat with relatives over from Canada. They found us a table for 7 at very short notice (1/2hr) The service and food was great and good choice and value for money. Our Canadian cousins were very...

What's happened in the last year? Such a shame. Food has gone from being very good to being very average and expensive for what it now is. Winelist is now dull (and not even given to us at the table I looked at it at the bar). Service is "nice" but slow. Too many staff not enough urgency. No check backs or care. Such a shame. Incredible space, location and garden. Won't be back.

A lovely country pub with fine atmosphere and elegant garden terrace.

The food was not great ... steak was like it had been boiled first for a ribeye this had to be sawed through so sent it back as it should have melted in the mouth , chips were good though. It would be better if they took the Michellin guide stickers down as it gives a false sense of food being good which it wasn't ... menu quite boring with either salmon, fish and chips burger or a pasta it felt like a 1980's throwback... some wine and beers not available ... with mains at around £20 or £30 for steak it's on the high side for basic pub grub ... food was just not good ... waitresses were very good though but we won't go back

Really enjoyed our lunch at the Crabtree. Slightly limited menu but I suspect that any item you chose would be excellent, rather this than a mediocre huge choice. Maria looked after us very well and thank goodness not over attentive. A bit of a journey...

I phoned to make a booking for a Sunday afternoon meal for myself and my wife and two grown up children. When I tried to book I asked fora booking time 17.45 , the lady who answered the phone told me that the last bookings...

Went for a drink today and was charged £15.30 for a birth norettti and a small 125 glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc I questioned the price with the lady at the bar and she said it’s right It’s not as we were charged for a medium glass so you need to ensure in this respect you charge for the right amount of money ! Nobody likes to get short changed or ripped off ! Pretty disappointing and you should check before confirming prices to your customers . . . Would WE GO BACK ? NOT A CHANVE IN HELL !!!!

Excellent pub, lovely food and ambience

Food was overpriced for what it was, found the food bland and unconsidered, left half of 2 of our meals, the more i ate the more unpleasant it was, did let the staff know but nothing was done apart from an apology, our server was...

1st time here will definitely be returning. Everything from great food and happy cheerful staff. Truly wonderful experience.

Great Sunday Roast as always here , busy but didn’t have to wait long and our waitress was very attentive coming to the table 3 times to see if we needed anything , Food great as always

Service was awful, we waited way over an hour for our food to come out. Outside seating was old and falling apart. Nice food though.

Had lunch beautiful food! The garden was lovely and calming. Very enjoyable experience.

Even though we arrived right at the time the lunchtime service was finishing, they willingly served us. The food was excellent, as were the lady behind the bar (landlady/manageress) & the young girl who served our table. Thoroughly recommend visiting this pub and we will...

We arrived just before 3pm, as they were finishing serving lunch, but they were more happy to accommodate the 3 of us. We ordered the meat meze board, scotch egg, trenchmore burger & Caesar salad and all our choices were fresh, well presented and very tasty. The manageress and waitress could not have been more welcoming. This was a random last minute decision to stop here and 1 we are very grateful we made. Also worth noting the spacious garden at the back which was a joy to sit in on a glorious day and that the place spotlessly clean.

Wonderful food, service & ambience!!! I would highly recommend coming here!!!

Attention to detail was incredible. I had the Heritage tomato, pine nuts, sun dried tomato pesto and basil tartlet. The number of elements to this dish made it an exquisite and delightful Russian doll of a dish. It was layered with beautifully blanched tomatoes and...

Had a lovely family meal here recently. James the barman was very efficient and the waitressing staff were very good. We had a lovely warm welcome. Food was excellent.

I just had to leave a review, I saw that they had advertised a new summer menu on socials and I thought I would give it a go. May I just say wow. I had the prawns and gnocchi and it was just perfect. The...

A wonderful Sunday lunch to end a Hen weekend -Helen and her team went above and beyond! The food was delicious and enjoyed by all. Pudding in the sunny garden was fab. A welcoming and relaxing afternoon with tasty food. We will be back!

Food was really good, service was very slow and despite not being full was not given the option to sit in or outside, merely guided to a secluded spot indoors(nice for romantics) with no one else around. We think this will be our last visit

Lovely food, brilliant atmosphere, had a lovely server, Milly, who went above and beyond and made our experience 10/10, very impressed and will definitely return.

Lovely pub , great food and a fantastic garden.really pleasant staff aswell.🙂

We went for a last minute meal which was lovely, the service was great. Special thanks to the kind, young female staff who served us.

It is a shame that we could not experience the food here. Seeing on the website that there was a summer set menu we booked a table. Once seated we we presented with a menu which appeared to be a standard menu. When we asked...

Excellent Sunday lunch, whitebait and olives to start following by belly pork which was very tasty and tender. Others in the party had roast lamb again excellent! Pudding was sticky toffee pudding! Yummy

Absolutely delicious food, you will not find a more superior steak sandwich! Sadly our waitress was rude and unwelcoming, but the food made up for that!

Myself and my husband came for lunch. Really good quality food and the lady serving us was professional and really nice.They did look a little under staffed, but the food was top notch!!!!!! We will definitely be back.
