The Greyhound in Basingstoke and Deane

Steak and kidney pudding, terrible fray bentos, mash and cabbage were ok , bring back the old management, I keep trying to give these a chance, not again.

Great experience at this hidden gem. I have a gluten free diet and the chef went to the extent of making a gluten free cauliflower cheese for me. My partner said it was the best roast he had had for a long time. Try to update your online presence and allow your customers to book a table via the website and I am sure you will attract more diners.

I popped in for a cup of coffee on 19th December, just to check out the pub as we had a booking for a family birthday party on 22 December. Another couple asked for the menu and they were told that the pub wasn‘t doing food that week because it was just the landlord. I asked him to check our booking for 22 December, he didn‘t come back to me, I went to the bar and asked for a second time if they had our booking, the reply was yes but they weren‘t doing food but ‚might‘ be able to offer a reduced menu - burgers or fish and chips. I said that wasn‘t what we had in mind for a special birthday party and asked that he get in touch with the family member organising the meal out. He didn‘t bother. Customer service 0 out of 10, manners 0 out of 10. We wont be going back.

Bar tender not very talkative (more interested in checking her phone). Large number of dead flies on windowsill. Tired decor and not cheap.

Great warm and friendly pub! My local when in Overton. Warm and friendly place and staff. Good good, beer good….all good!

I lovely local pub… good food and beer! Well priced. Pet friendly. The open fires in winter make the atmosphere cosy and welcoming. There is a pool table and outside covered and heated area for the smokers and or outdoor lovers.

Always the best roast dinner, every item delicious. Served with cauliflower cheese. Highly recommend

We have had lunch at the Greyhound twice this month. The food is excellent - an imaginative menu with lovely fresh ingredients, a real delight. On both occasions we were part of a large party and everyone raved about the food. Well done Andy you are a superb host and special thanks to your chef.

Our bookclub (7 of us) booked our Christmas meal with Andy (the landlord) in advance from the special Christmas menu. It was a really lovely menu with some great options. The food was really delicious with very generous portions that defeated a few of us! I had the cured trout to start with horse radish cream and pickled cucumber - lovely and not too heavy to start. Most of the others enjoyed chicken liver parfait with Christmas chutney and toast. My main was the market fish (a whole plaice) with Anna potatoes (yum!),beurre noisette with lemon, capers and little shrimps and cabbage. Others had the goose, turkey or veal options. Dessert was a gorgeous chocolate and ameretto mousse with biscotti whilst others had spiced apple pie or Eccles cake with clotted cream. A really lovely menu and very good value, especially for the large portions. I will definitely be back- thank you! A great pub for drinking too! They don’t do food every day so always best to check. A really welcome addition to the village.

we had rare roast beef last Sunday, the first time the new landlord had served any food and it was amazing, beautifully flavoured locally sourced beef, fresh veg cauliflower cheese and home cooked roast spuds and yorkies, top notch

Great pub, lovely beer, food lovely and amazing value, with excellent friendly service. This is a proper pud catering for drinkers as well as eaters and is a great place to enjoy an evening

Should be higher in the ratings in Overton IMO We also ate at Amore (Italian) and the food at the greyhound was much better and cheaper! We ate on new years day evening, very quiet so not a lot of atmosphere. Seems to be a very good "local"

Food was amazing, never seen such a big chicken Kiev and it was absolutely delicious. Went with my partner, sister and brother-in-law. Everyone enjoyed the food. Lisa and Mark are the perfect hosts, really friendly and our waitress (sorry didn’t get your name sweetheart) was absolutely brilliant! Looking forward to our next visit when we get back to Overton xxx

Stopped by for lunch and Lisa was lovely, tip top service, great to see Boondoggle on tap, food was nice - really lovely homemade chips! Thanks Lisa!

The Greyhound have a new menu and the food is phenomenal. It is always presented so elegantly and tastes amazing. Restaurant quality food at pub prices. Today I had the Hake with Tarragon and chive sauce. Absolutely gorgeous.

We are still sitting in the pub as I write this! Walked up to Overton from Carfest as we needed to feed our kids some guaranteed gluten free food. On entering the landlady said food was finished but when we explained we really needed a gluten free meal she was happy to help! Chef was wonderful and the girls had a hearty, healthy meal. The ambience and friendliness was wonderful! Definitely worth a visit! Thank you to Lisa and Mark! Your care and concern was much appreciated!

My husband has visited here twice within the last week he has had chicken pie and then a couple of days later had the fish he said it was the best meal he has ever had! He was very impressed! Overall experience was excellent!

Right from the off , amazing, phoned ahead , polite and courteous answers. Arrived to genuine warm and friendly service. Table service with amazing, good value food. Huge portions and nicely cooked. Chips were amazing 👍🏼 will definitely go again . Will be a regular early evening dinner venue for us 👍🏼👍🏼

Just had lunch at The Greyhound and I've never had such high quality food from a traditional pub. I recommend anyone who visits Overton to visit and try their new menu.

Local pub providing excellent food. The specials menu last Friday was a selection of fish choices all different we both chose the Cod dish it was delicious. Service was very friendly and this gives The Greyhound a great atmosphere.

Do not go If you have a family!!!!!. Our twin Under two year old girls we’re well welcomed by the locals and the dogs however we were made to feel very uncomfortable and asked to leave the pool area even though our twin girls could not physically reach the table. The lady behind the bar and a gentleman in plan clothing physically snatched a pool cue Out of my 22 month old hands and a young barmaid was asked to comment. Locals commented on how the owners were stuck up but it turned out to be an embarrassing evening when all we arrived to see was the local Christmas market!

We took our twins to this “local community” public house. All the locals were friendly and commented on how nice it was to see a young family mingling within the community on a Saturday evening. We began to play a friendly game of pool and...

We had lunch before our visit to a well know gin distillery and it was very, very good. This is not fine dining but it is an excellent place for lovely wholesome food and smashing hosting too!

We walked into town from Laverstoke and wanted dinner before catching the train back to London. We were definitely in a local pub with lots of looks from the regular clientele! Regardless our server Sadie made us feel comfortable and welcome. The menu options were great and we all enjoyed our meals. Thanks for your Overton hospitality!

Went to the Greyhound with a group of friends for a pre Christmas get together. The menu was extensive and very reasonably priced. We all picked something different and we all had to say that the food was amazing even down to the amazing cheese board. Lisa and Mark are amazing hosts and make you feel very welcome. The pub is very cosy and the regulars make you feel at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning

Really nice food at a really good price and a warm welcome. Dog friendly, so we will be back. Thank you from Paul and Helen

We had a wonderful evening, our table of 8 enjoyed the Christmas menu, the food was served hot and was delicious, service was excellent, wonderful atmosphere, will definitely return.

New menu week and very busy! we didn't really get affected by it. If going on a week day likely a very enjoyable experience. Its also harsh to write a review about a new menu, but you should be prepared is all i would say. Food was very salty and mine was missing ingredients.

A Sunday roast for £7 and a total bill of £14 pp including beer and coffee represents remarkable value. The food was very good and the staff welcoming and helpful.

Had the Sunday roast. A very large portion, very reasonably priced. It was lovely and we would definitely go again. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our visit. Thank you.

This is a pub near the centre of a small town. They have a very good range of beers, and a beer garden. The pub is quite large with a pool table, a dart board, and plenty of tables for eating. The menu is superior pub grub, but done very well, and reasonably priced. There is a small wine list, but it’s good value and quality. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the locals, who seem to make up most of the customers, are friendly. The only snag I can find is there is no car park, but there is some street parking, just read the regulations before you leave your car.

Had a lovely evening here last night with friends. Sadly food service had finished by the time we arrived and unfortunately every other pub in Overton could not accommodate us either! But The greyhound greeted us with a welcoming smile so we decided to have a liquid supper here instead and a couple of bags of crisps! They had a band playing also that was excellent. We all had a much more enjoyable evening here than we would of had if we had gone elsewhere I'm sure!

What a warm welcome we received. We had originally called in for a drink, until we saw the gluten free desserts so we decided to try them out. Service was excellent and the food was great. A nice place to sit and unwind in the evenings. Even a pool table to keep you entertained.

We stopped for lunch between Christmas and New Year and were welcomed into friendly and warm atmosphere. The food was surprisingly good and enjoyed by all. We had schnitzel, scampi and spaghetti bolognaise with cakes for dessert. Recommended!

Dropped in for lunch, had a chilli dog and steak pie, the pie was excellent really nice gravy. Very reasonable cost (£20) with 1 drink each. Sat by the very nice inglnook fireplace in front of the log burner, lovely!

My husband and I visited the greyhound on a Saturday and had to wait for it to open, which is not an issue.

Driving through Overton this pub was open for food after most others stopped serving (2.30pm on Monday); clean, good basic food and on road car parking.

Guaranteed good pint - even got Timothy Taylor on tap presently. Steaks fine too and well priced but more of a drinkers pub imho.

Paramos por casualidad mientras hoy. Cálida bienvenida y un delicioso almuerzo de domingo a un precio excelente. Ambos tuvimos cordero asado - fue encubierto cortar y muy tierno. Las verduras estaban hechas con un doble - patatas asadas, zanahorias, coliflor y brécol - nada hecho. ove Todo servido con salsa, dos Yorkshire postres y una selección de salsas. La comida llegó rápidamente y estaba bien caliente.

We went for a late lunch early dinner near with our granddaughter. Lovely pub with great very reasonably priced food. There is a really nice garden with a wonderful climbing frame/den/slide/swings suitable for 6 months to five years old. We will be back soon. Thanks.

Sunday lunch was superb as usual. We don't eat again on a Sunday and I usually come back in the evening for the Quiz.

Fuimos en la última noche tuvimos una comida bien cocinada con buena compañía, buen ambiente y servicio rápido y eficiente a un precio muy razonable para 4 personas. Será en de nuevo.

Mi esposa y yo pasó por el Greyhound hoy tras un recorrido por la zona de exploración. Estábamos un poco tarde para el almuerzo, pero el propietario insistió en cabía en (estaba muy concurrida) salio con dos muy buen tamaño asados de domingo con una mezcla de carnes. No es un buffer, así que era un toque agradable. No me puedo quejar de la variedad de cerveza en la que era muy impresionante, mi mujer, que estaba bastante tomado bebidas de café con la mezcla que utilizan.

We turned up with a young baby and could not have been more welcomed. The food, as always was good home made pub grub and Lisa and Marc went out of their way to make sure the baby had all she needed. My nephew and his wife were very impressed

I went to this pub on a Friday night with some friends as a way to start our evening. We walked into a friendly atmosphere and were greeted straight away by the bar staff. Whilst at the pub we decided to have some food, I ordered the 8oz sirloin steak. It came out in no time at all with chips, peas and garnishing and was a very good size portion. The chips and the peas were both very lovely, however the steak was to die for!!! I have had steak from a lot of places but I must say this one was one of the best I've ever had. I ensured I told the staff to thank the chef for me. We continued to drink in the pub for a few hours and had nothing but a good enjoyable time. I can't see what the others reviews say about the bar staff/owners as they were nothing but helpful and friendly towards me and my friends and considering we were a young group of men (which some village pubs are not keen on hosting) I couldn't of asked for a nicer stop! Great pub, great food, great people, the perfect village pub! Will definitely be back!

We visited this Saturday lunchtime (22 April). The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to accommodate our baby daughter, even bringing out miniature cutlery for her. The food was tasty, filling and good value, and the space was smart and comfortable - we sat at a great curved banquette in the window. Service was quick even though we were a fairly large group. We wouldn't hesitate to come back when next in Overton, especially in the Summer when the beer garden must come into its own.

We visited for a quiet lunch on a Wednesday, the pub was actually quite busy for lunchtime mid week. A couple of walkers came in and asked the landlady about local footpaths and she was very helpful offering them a charity booklet about walks all around the village, they were very happy to support the charities and get the inside information.I had the beef broth which was clearly home made and delicious and came with a big hunk of crusty French stick, my husband had the steak and kidney pie, it all looked great, fresh and piping hot.All of this was also extremely competitively priced, I would recommend this pub as friendly,cosy and has good food.

I have visited this venue on several occasions and other than cheap grub and drinks there is little to comment. On my first occasion it took the landlord a few moments to come up from his laptop (whilst sat behind the bar) to see us and get a drink and then promptly on the chime of closing physically ! if necessary through his clientele out!! On my second occasions I took the children to the play area during the day, we had a few drinks and planed on staying for dinner but were informed that we could not eat in the play area !! Although several great tables! And so left. The management at this point will point out several hazards !! But the management are just lazy!! Because with training and risks assessments they can be overcome!! Or customer collect at their own risk!! Thinking out side the box !!! The food is Booker Basic on another occasion we stayed for food, with grease and dirty fryer oil pouring out of it!! Pub is full of local drinkers and that is how it should have been kept.

Unfriendly and poor service food under cooked the food sent back and then to be told there was nothing wrong the bar staff ate them it was poor service this pub used to be a friendly and welcoming shame the new owners don't continue the village friendly atmosphere if you don't want to feel welcome this is the place to go guys

A very nice full,and friendly pub , lots of people eating nice looking food,we just went for a drink. Well kept beers and lager had 2glasses for a fiver that's gotta be good eh

Marc and Lisa offer 5 real ales and the usual lagers and keg beers along with an exceptional range of value for money wines and a top shelf of top notch single malts.Sunday lunch is great value and always fulfilling.Weekday lunches and evening meals are popular but unassuming - great value however.It's my local, so I'm a bit biased, but we have choice in the village and for honest good food at a good price The Greyhound wins every time.

A regular venue for myself and golf chums. Extensive real ale selection here with Betty Stoggs and TT Landlord as regular beers. Best value pub food in Overton, staff doing a great job.

Met up without daughter to hand her dog back at this special pub.Since our last visit the pub has been refurbished to a high standard with beautiful plaid carpets and furniture. A log burner was roaring away and the bar was full. We had Sunday linch@ £6.00 it just can't be beaten! The veg is all fresh , ok the meat is pre sliced but the food is pretty good with all the trimmings. On top of this the atmosphere is just so friendly , I find thus pub hard to beat in all aspects. Well done for a fantastic meeting place , good ale good food and good customer service !

A fantastic place to eat, drink and have a good time.5 real ales available, with 2 of them changing on a regular basis. Wide range of lager and ciders to choose from too.The food is good as well. Good old fashioned pub grub at very affordable prices.The service is exemplary. No complaints at this end!!

A snug, friendly village pub with a range of real ale on tap. A decent food menu and a nice atmosphere. It's a proper village pub with quiz, darts,pool, cribbage teams etc. Expect a warm welcome and a good pint.

Wonderful pub very friendly and welcoming. Great value Sunday roast and puddings. Family friendly with play equipment in the garden and dog friendly too!

The welcome from the barmaid was excellent ,,, very friendly and fun. The food was excellent and at VERY competitive prices. It was a bonus to see Doombar on the draught beer choice.I had lasagne (good) and my pal had the chicken and ham pie .. the latter was excellent apparently. I like this pub ... my first visit there for a few years. I will be going back.There's good wi-fi too.

Used to be a great pub. Refurb looks good but the attitude from the proprietors is pretty awful (aggressive at closing time when drinks only just bought, generally not welcoming, not flexible to dietary requirements). I do resent spending my money somewhere I am not valued as a customer.

We were surprised when four of us walked into the pub and were not greeted with a welcome smile, just a look of disdain from the gentleman behind the bar. We ordered drinks and I asked for a menu "it's on the table" . The look of disdain continued so we felt better when our food was brought to us by a female. One of our party used to own a pub and was very surprised by the way we were treated. However, on the plus side the food was good.

The pub is well set up. Recently done up and some good beers on.I attended on a night when a band were playing. A great night until the landlord insisted on taking drinks from a group in the pub who had been allowed to buy them just moments earlier. Landlord was very insistent and became rude and border line aggressive towards people starting to complain.A rotten end to the night, leaving many who had seen it feeling put off. We weren't treated badly but are upset others were.

Decent pub grub and family friendly. Nice little garden for the kids. First time we have eaten there and we will be back. The quiz night on a Sunday is great fun.

As other reviewers have said, this is a cosy village pub, recently refurbished to a high standard. It's comfortable and attractive inside, with lots of historical features. The beer is varied and well kept, and the food is great value for money, with a traditional menu that has something for everyone.There are quiz evenings and live bands that bring in lots of customers. On my most recent visit we were served by a friendly, smiling and efficient barmaid. So this should be the ideal village pub and I was looking forward to writing a positive review and visiting more often. But that's not going to happen. The Greyhound in a residential area, so it's understandable that the licensees are keen to keep good relations with their neighbours and adhere carefully to the letter of the law.But there are different ways to communicate this to customers and sadly the landlord prefers a very aggressive approach. Drinking up time began only moments after the band finished playing. As we had been enjoying the music several of my party had just bought drinks and were looking forward to finishing them before we went home.The landlady moved to take away my full pint almost as soon as it was on the table. Staff were continuously calling for glasses and insisting we drink up. Rather than quietly explain that they were obliged to close up on time, the landlord was shouting and commanding. I immediately felt unwelcome.When a friend attempted to talk to the landlord about this, his response was to bark "Right. You're finished." and snatch his drink from his hand.At this point I was feeling not just very unwelcome, but actually intimidated. My friend and I left the pub and waited outside for the rest of our party.Moments later the landlord came outside and continued to shout and swear at us.... even though we had left the premises. There were still dozens of people in the pub.It's so sad that a great evening with good friends and a cracking band was ruined.It's such a shame that the landlord seems so unfriendly and negative. Running a pub is undoubtedly a stressful and demanding profession, but it's destructive and short sighted to aim that frustration at your customers. A landlord has a responsibility to keep order, not to create flash points and invite disputes.I'm bitterly disappointed that what should be a gem of a pub is somewhere I now associate with rude, aggressive behaviour. So sad.

Basic local pub. Parking in car park down the road.owners. Very friendly. Food nice. Great atmosphere.

This is a very smart 'local' pub... offering great beers, wines, cocktails, soft drinks, excellent food that is surprisingly good value for money, great landlord and landlady, friendly staff, great child friendly garden, welcomes well behaved dogs, regular entertainments and not just from the locals!

My family and I had lunch here on the way to the Bombay Sapphire distillery, having looked at a few places in the area. On first sight the menu didn't look to be anything special, not least because it didn't have any real design features to draw customers in. Do not, however, let you put you off.We had five different meals - steak and onion pie with chips and peas; chicken and ham pie with mashed potatoes and peas; cheeseburger in a bun with chips; half chicken and chips; and gammon, egg and chips. There was a slight wait to be served, but nothing to worry about (we had chosen five different meals after all), and when the food came it was of a really good standard, with just about the right amount to fill us up without being stuffed. It was also excellent value at just over £33 for five of us. Those suggested on the Bombay Sapphire website would be hard pushed to provide the same quality at almost double the cost.My only problem was that, as I was driving and there were free samples at the distillery, I couldn't sample the good range of ale at the bar!On street parking only could cause problems to some.

The Greyhound has just been refurbished and is under new management,the Landlady and Landlord are very nice and friendly and very welcoming,the Pub and Restaurant have been tastefully decorated it has kept its Village charm and history.It has Sky TV for drinkers to watch Football and a new play area outside for the children and the family .we have been there on two occasions now one for Sunday lunch that was beautifully served ,there were three meats on offer with a full plate of vegetables this was followed by a veriety of sweets.tea and coffee was also served if required.the other occasion was a week day meal from a very good bar menu on this occasion I had Gammon with egg chips and the trimmings my Soninlaw had steak beautifully served,the Landlady was very inventive to all our needs it is a pleasure to go there and eat or just for a drink.

The recent refurbishment has lifted what was always a good pub. The cellar is well kept and you can get ham, egg and chips for £5. What is not to like.

Newly refurbished pub,which I've been a regular at for many years. Veggie lasagna really tasty, my mother loved her scampi and chips, then enjoyed a sticky toffee pudding. Service was quick, the atmosphere warm and friendly. The old photos of village life were really interesting, linking the modern interior with the past. I love the refurb', the pub still feels like the local I have known for many happy years, with better seating and better use of the lovely bay window.

I'm baffled by the negative reviews about this fantastic pub. Food is of the "pub grub" standard and very reasonably priced. Beer choice is superb, staff are friendly, and the locals are great.The pub's being refurbished at the moment, so I look forward to seeing what the new look is like...

I highly recommend not going to this awful venue. The customer service was the worst I have ever experienced, the landlords are rude and aggressive to their patrons and treated my group and others in the pub with complete disrespect. Avoid at all costs. Disgusting and unfriendly.

Horrendous service and attitude ordered a roast and it came out cold with the meat having loads of fat and gristle in it. No body asked if we enjoyed the food as it was evident we didn't. Will never return there are many more pubs and restaurants in Overton with highly better service.

Excellent local village pub, lots of character, accommodating & welcoming staff, children & dog friendly. Excellent tasty homemade cooked food. Tasty Sunday roasts.

An unwelcoming and dire public house with aggressive staff with little grasp on reality...simply avoid

Good beer and a nice atmosphere. The Boxing Day session with the Mummers was a real treat. Waiting to see what the refurb brings.

I dropped in to check out the local pubs as i have just opened up a business in the area. I have a pint and ordered a few rolls at the bar. No frills selection regarding the food in the early afternoon...but thats all i wanted. Decent pint and a few locals propping up the bar. Friendly(ish) welcome and would happily drop by again.

What can I say they need to clean firstly and the toilets ummmm interesting !! So after seeing a very small amount of food on offer we went to the garden with the kids and I went to order food finding out what we wanted was out "only a few things on menu" so change of mind and carried on then found out we can not eat in the garden and had to all come down the dangerous slippery stairs from the garden to the restaurant not very inviting for children

We visit Overton to house-sit every few months, and always make sure we call in for at least a drink with each visit. The food here is simply 'Pub Grub'.... but that's giving it less acclaim than it deserves. Most (or all?) of the food is home-made, which is not to be expected when you pay so little for it! For example, the curry I once had couldn't have been more than around £6, but it was fantastic. And the level of spice was not held back, which for me is hard to find! There's a pool table, TV and juke box, which is nice if you want somewhere to get a little boozy on a weekend. The staff are always friendly. Especially the young girl behind the bar. She always gives non-locals a friendly welcome. Lastly, if you are bringing children there's a great garden at the back (right at the back, up the stairs). There's a wooden play-centre that'll keep the kids entertained for hours.See you in February. Paul & Hayley :)

Called in to watch the rugby and have a few pints. Welcoming locals and staff. Beer selection ok . A locals pub...

Old School traditional pub. Good selection of real ales, also now does food and takes credit cards (previously it didn't). Well worth a stop if you want to go out for a no-nonsense drink with friends.

Cheap proper in a basket pub food nothing "gastro" but inexpensive and easy to eat. Good beers and drinks and a great garden for kids hidden away from the pub so that kids can shout and be kids and not worry about disturbing others. The garden is completely enclosed so kids cant escape either but with the climbing frame they are happy to spend hours.

Just looks like a village pub, but the food is very good. The menu is varied and there are about half a dozen vegetarian dishes too. The food was all cooked beautifully and we had between 4 of us liver and onions, beer battered fish and chips, scampi and chicken breast in honey and mustard sauce. All served with chips or mash, but no problem to get extra salad or veg if you don't want them. Great range of desserts. Unfortunately the Turkish Delight Cheesecake wasn't being served. Had to put up with lemon meringue pie. Such a hardship.......

I was working at a local event and popped in here with a few friends for a few drinks. When entering people stared as if we were not allowed in the pub, it was clearly a local pub. The managers were constantly staring at us, complaining about the local event that they clearly knew we were from. The poor barmaid was on her own while the clear managers were drinking and only helping her when they deemed convenient. Where we sat was a power socket that was free, as I work at a pub I merely plugged my phone in and then was shouted at by a manager who didn't even have the decency to stand up but simply sit with drink in hand and accuse me of unplugging her TV. When I apologised profusely, I said I would take it out and let her know I too worked in a pub and people would use our power regularly and was unaware that other places had problems with this. The lady said it was fine to keep my phone charging and accepted the apology. After this, a man whom I assume was the other manager came over and started having a go shouting 'WE SERVE BEER NOT POWER, HAVE COMMON COURTESY'. We were polite throughout and I would never dream of being rude or attempting to disrespect them, I then unplugged my phone and apologised although being told twice was unnecessary. He continued to moan and dig at us and then proceeded to sit down and complain about us once again. After all of this, we proceeded to leave to go somewhere else due to the foul dynamic felt in this pub. As we got up, their fire alarm went off and we were then accused of smoking in the pub (none of us smoke). They then implied that using the plug socket had caused the alarm and that it was our fault and we needed to sort the alarm out. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE SOCKET - THIS COULD NOT OF BEEN OUR FAULT.The women then had the cheek to say that we clearly caused all of the alarm issues and that we must have fire on us somehow. We didn't. Generally, a horrific atmosphere, rude service (or lack of service), bad management and I would never even step foot near this pub let alone advise anyone to attend here. KEEP WALKING DOWN THE ROAD, THE RED LION PUB IS AMAZING AND THE STAFF ARE BEYOND KIND.

I came here with friends and kids for food. Never been before, assumed it was a locals pub, which it clearly is. With prices for food averaging £5 I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised, chef obviously takes pride in his work and service was brilliant. Kids loved the new play area in the beer garden. A great place for a budget family meal.

This is our local pub albeit 2 miles away. We recently started calling in on a Friday evening and a bite to eat. The food is all home made apart fromThe chips. I tend to have the lasagne and garlic bread at 5.50 and my husband always plumps for the steak and mushroom pudding again home mace@ £6. Perfect bite to eat at a very friendly pub y frirng pub

We had an excellent meal, good service and very reasonably priced. Only complaint was that I asked for a coffee with a dash of cold milk, I got a very milky coffee made with hot milk.

Good pub for our village . Polite landlord, clean, excellent choice of ale, ( hrmmmm Betty stoggs ) and good food at a good price.

This pub has always been good for a drink and a chat, but now Marc and Lisa have done up the beer garden and added a brilliant decked seating area and a fantastic climbing frame/swing set for kids, it's brilliant. The food they do is fantastic too - lasagne and garlic bread, hot dogs, chips - all good grub for the best price, you can treat yourself to another drink as it's such good value. And both the landlords are friendly and welcoming, making you want to stay and return. The pub also has free wifi... they do karaoke nights... they sell coffee and cake... they even have an open fire... Brilliant place!
