Have visited several times this year (normally whilst on an outbound leg to Lichfield) and in general experiences have been reasonably good. Baguette lunch options are very good value for money (you get an awful lot) and there may be room to consider and actively market a ’Half portion’ option for the younger or elderly smaller appetite. Of the remainder of the menu, this seems expensive for what it is – on one occasion I tried this and ordered a Lasagna: it arrived with the Cheese topping dripping with oil and grease – this tased awful and I ate maybe a quarter of this before my gag reflex overtook and I felt physically sick. Once bitten, twice shy, and I have stuck with the baguette option ever since… The interior of the Restaurant has a ‘distressed’ decorative finish which some my find visually downtrodden: that being said, the Toilet facilities are the cleanest and brightest encountered to date – so hygiene is evidently a high priority here. Overall, I am awarding 4 stars: whilst there is room for some improvement (particularly in emanating a very successful menu formula already operational at a sister operation (Red Lion, Hopwas), I am not going to kick, and am a firm believer in supporting and promoting the Independent Licensees’ fresh meal provision efforts by comparison with nearby ‘Chain Pub Airline Catering’ options.

I've frequented this pub for many a year for a beer, Timothy Taylor is always a favourite, and I decided to have Sunday lunch. They have a restaurant area separate to the bar area with an adjoining lounge area, and being dog friendly, we sat in the bar area. Staff are very attentive and helpful when it comes to ordering our food. Food came out, and i ordered a trio of meat, lamb, beef, and turkey, which all were perfectly cooked, and vegetables were so tasty. So don't drive through Freeford without popping in, it's a must.

I booked a table for 14 adults and 2 children for Sunday 30th June at 1.30pm to celebrate my 60th birthday and mine and my husband's 34th wedding anniversary. I never normally write reviews, but felt I had to share our fantastic experience. Everyone said how delicious their meals were, most people went for the Sunday lunch or the trio of meats. There was plenty of meat and vegetables and the meat was outstanding quality. We also had starters and dessert, again everything arrived hot and tasted incredible. The staff worked so hard to make our day really special and were so welcoming. We quite often eat here on a Friday or Saturday evening, but we will definitely be returning for the Sunday dinner, outstanding. Thank you to all of the staff as well.

Popped in to break our journey when travelling south. The food was absolutely superb and the staff were lovely. The manager also handles a very rude "gentleman" with consummate professionalism.

All Good But They Are Very Stingey on The Chilli Con Carne Portion Sizes. We went for Sunday lunch for mothers day. All good, staff were friendly and helpful and the Land Lady even got us a cushion for my 103 year old grandmother. Food took a while to arrive, When it arrived all the meals were good except mine. We had a lasagne, a roast beef dinner, steak and chips and finally my meal - chilli con carne. All my families meals were a decent size except mine. The actual chiili con carne part was a very small portion indeed. So we questioned it and the waiter went off to check and returned to tell us 'The chef says thats the size it comes as'. So I sat and ate my modest portion. There was loads of plain rice on my plate but sadly lacking on chilli con carne. Later on when we came to pay we mentioned it again and was told by a different waiter they are set sizes. So we said back to him if you could pass on our feedback about the portion of chilli con carne was way too small. So that kind of ruined our experience really. Please see attched photo of my overly modest portion as it looked when the waiter placed it down on the table.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here on Wednesday evening. The food was excellent, waiting time for the meal was very acceptable and the staff were very helpful and accommodating to dietary requirements. They showed prefessionalism at all times. We had trouble getting a taxi at the end but the staff went over and above our expectations in making us comfortable and arranging an alternative taxi service for us. We will definitely be visiting again.

Went to this pub Sunday 17th September food was not very nice I had roast gammon if that's want they call it as it was full of fat which they covered up by putting lots of gravy over it so as you could not see, service was poor, when we went to pay they just took off the price of the cauliflower cheese which was £3.50. Will not be going again.

Visited the Horse and Jockey for a meal after many years since our last visit . The food was served piping hot and was very good,I enjoyed my burger it was delicious the portion size was good . The Staff were lovely service with a smile but not too overbearing . The only negative thing I can say is that there was a very strange smell in the dining room , maybe because its an older building that smelt musty .

I’ve got two autistic children and had a terrible experience at another establishment recently so this is the first time we’ve ventured out. My children do not conform to the norm but we loved it here. It was fenced in, so my children were able to run around while we enjoyed an anniversary drink. There was another family who could see my children were autistic and put us at ease. You don’t realise how grateful we were to have this experience this evening, just to do something normal without judgement. We only sat outside, my children couldn’t have coped with your inside set-up but we’re grateful for what we’ve had, we wouldn’t have had it anywhere else locally.

I was never in the old pub, so I can't compare the two, but I do like this place. I've not yet eaten here, but the food it offers is traditional pub grub with the odd special. It's very popular with diners, I've heard, but don't expect a Porche as this is more food for the Mondeo man. Whenever I've visited it's been outside of food service, so the pub has been relatively quiet. It has two rooms, a bar and a restaurant. In the bar, a dartboard takes centrestage, and there has always been someone playing when I've been. Plenty of seating, and they serve Timothy Taylor, which is a bonus. Outside of food service, it's a good place for a quiet chat and get together. There is plenty of parking outside, and it has a good playground and garden for the kids. It's also about 100m from the Rugby Club.

We visited tonight and ordered hunters chicken & chips and fish & chips. The service was fast, friendly and not rushed. The food came out in good time, was hot and plenty on the plate. The desserts are on a board with lots of choice for everyone. We were able to enjoy our food with background music at just the right level for us to hear and hold a conversation at the same time without raised voices. All in all a really good night with no problems at all 🙂

Room for improvement. Historically this pub has always defined "how it's done". However, it's changed hand a few times in the last few years. I went in the daytime midweek for a private function last week and although the staff knew their job it wasn't the best. We were in the bar, reserved for us which was kind but we were greeted by a sheet of A4 stuck to the door jamb written in biro. Never mind, at least it's reserved hey? The tables were dirty and not cleaned from the previous night showing debris and ring marks from the glasses. There is also a shelf beneath the bar which was littered with rubbish and cast off straws. These should have been cleaned away before opening - private function or not these are basics. The pub has had a recent refurbishment but it is lacklustre and there are patches of bare wall behind the bar which naturally draws the eye. Being the only party in the venue you would expect there to be staff available to look after you, but the whole entourage was kept waiting as bar staff were not on hand throughout and we did have to wait a while to be served despite the bill being set up on a tab. Music was by a local musician who was excellent. Beer was particularly good so a thumbs up there. Overall not a bad experience but lacking in the basics and the details. I would go back and hope they get to grips with what it takes to deliver a solid customer experience. 3/5.

We tried this place for the first time, so disappointed as we just couldn't eat it. The chicken was so dried out and thin, the plum sauce was sour and came in a the tiniest tub we've ever seen, which was only half filled, not even enough to cover some of the chicken leaving dry rice. The Singapore fried rice has always been our favourite rice, unfortunately this is not that, it was tasteless. Such a shame. Amazing service when ordering over the phone though
