I had the buttermilk chicken burger and it was the best burger I’ve ever had, the staff are beyond lovely and it has such a good cosy atmosphere. I brought my puppy with me and they were all so kind to her. Couldn’t recommend enough

We ordered our main at the bar and the barman asked us to pay. Which we did, our food arrived quickly. My husband had cod & chips he said it was great and a good size portion. I ordered the Vegan stew, which was really tasty but the portion size for £17 wouldn’t have filled a child it was very small. We then noticed that both of our meals were on the fixed price two courses for £18.95. So we asked for two desserts, we were told that we couldn’t do that as we had already paid. Our argument was why didn’t the barman tell us about this deal when he handed us the menu. Nothing mentioned to us, so he would not agree to us ordering a desert for the meal offer. We left feeling let down, the owner just didn’t care. Although my husband left full, I came home hungry and had to make a sandwich. Totally disappointed, and let down. Hence only 3 stars.

Our daughter visited from Oxford and we took her to the Old Cottage for her birthday lunch. Big mistake! The Sunday lunch was served on stone cold plates, meaning the food was half cold when it arrived. I ordered the duo of beef. It was £21.50 and for that price I expected more than one slice of beef and what can only be described as a sample from an autopsy! It was a piece of fat, together with ventricles and no sign of any meat at all. I felt sick just looking at it and asked for it to be replaced. My husband chose the trio of meats, which consisted of a piece of bony chicken with hardly any meat, a very fatty piece of pork, again with only a little meat and one slice of thin beef. All the food was cold and I couldn't eat mine as I was still feeling nauseous after the sight of my 'meat'. We were sat in the bar area, as we'd taken our dogs with us, which meant we had to pay for our meal up front. If we'd paid after eating, we would have refused to pay in full. The quality of the food was so, so poor. It makes me very angry when you go out for a special occasion and it's ruined by shoddiness and poor quality food. Warming the plates is basic stuff, who wants to eat their Sunday roast cold. At £21.50 per head I expected some decent meat on my plate, I was absolutely shocked at the poor quality we were served. We felt robbed and won't be returning.

Service was a little slow, hot drinks were very late so taken off the bill. The fruit dessert we asked for without coconut ice cream the waitress that brought them over slammed the other dessert down in a rude manner. Original waitress was lovely. Alcoholic Drinks were very slow arriving. More gravy needed for the Sunday dinner, we requested more and took so long dinner was nearly finished. Joanna

Haven't been to this pub for years and sorry to say it's just as much of a disappointment as it was before. Overpriced for what it is (a pub) food is average and much better in the area for your money. Atmosphere quickly went from "chilled out venue" to "pretentious only playground" sorry guys but I'm not sure what you're tying to be? Staff were friendly and accommodating but that's the only positive.

Food was okay. Service is a bit slow, and we had to go to the bar to order our food. Starters were nice but for the chicken pate there wasn’t enough bread. Main meals, we had the Gamon Steak and Eggs which was nicely cooked and the Steak sandwich. The steak was a bit chewy and the foccacia bread a bit stale.

Excellent across the board. Staff are well-trained and knowledgeable. Prices are a little higher than the average gournet-pub but the very broad menu includes a lot of creativity and twists which lifts it well-above the bog-standard and predictable offerings of most other establishments of this type.

Tuesday night meal. Not busy. Advised it’s a birthday meal and quiet location requested. Meal ok. Location in general area. Argentinian Malbec Wine uncorked but cork not offered for inspection. Hot drinks (cappuccino and espresso) served well before desserts brought to table so went cold. Just poor attention to details. Tipped 15% regardless.

This place is back with a bang - thank goodness! Had an awful experience with their food which put us off, on that occasion it was bad enough that I did complain. We popped back in for lunch after a dog walk recently the food was great! After a conversation with bar staff they had had am overhaul of kitchen staff. 100% worth it! Burger was fantastic and they have a great selection of alcohol, including Neck oil and asahi on tap. Beer garden is lovely and shady and dog friendly! So is the bar area.

First of the staff were spot on fantastic.. the food not so impressed, had the beef sandwich and chicken,rocket and mozzarella sandwich both were not overly good, minimal beef in one and rocket was replaced with watercress and a few strands of mozzarella in the other.. expected more for the cost of what was a sandwich with fries..had evening food there before which was tidy.

Ordered a cod and chips. Pretty sure it's not cod. And if it it's cod it's terrible. Minted peas have accusations of mint. Ordered a burger and added bacon for £1.50, tasted of burnt. Had to remove the bacon to make the burger palatable. Will never come here for food again. Overpriced and under quality.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing staff, the only reason I gave a 4 is because the chicken was really dry like it was just air fried, had no taste at all and the sauce that came with it didnt go with it.Well the fillet steak and rump were excellent.Unfortunately the Sunday roast was finished at our arrival.

Went for the Dirty Burger & Billionaire fries. Definitely one of the best burgers (top three) I have ever eaten. The fries were very nice too, but I'll stick with the regular ones when paired with the dirty burger next time, as the truffle mayo didn't really go with the beef dripping sauce that I smothered the burger bun with - my bad. We wanted to take a look at the dessert menu when we had finished our mains, but after waiting a good 15mins, I had to ask someone to see the menu. I guess they were busy in the other part of the restaurant. The staff were lovely & polite. Will certainly come here again for that dirty burger 🍔😋😜🥰

Our waitress, Lucy, couldn’t have been sweeter, or more helpful, and we can be fussy! Her first task was to turn the music down, then changed a food item after we’d ordered it. All done with a smile.

Lovely rooms, this stay we were at the rear of the hotel, which was much quieter than our previous visit but no view, our room that time was at the front, much noisier but looked out over the high street. My one tip would be to request a bath mat for inside the bath - I slipped and fell getting into the bath. All the staff we encountered were lovely and really helpful if asked anything.
