A great village pub with a pleasant atmosphere and eight hand pull real ales, including my all time favourite beer - Titanic Plum Porter! The beer is really well kept, the staff are friendly, the inside of the pub and the beer garden are really nice. If only all pubs were like this...

Lovely local pub with very friendly bartenders. Smooth fast serving and kind people. Love the extension with extra siting area and the outdoor benches are great on a warmer day. Darts available in 2 separate room if you are fancy a game.

Monday afternoon private function in the pub lounge. Seems like a great traditional local pub. I especially loved the choice of 7 excellent cask ales, most from the local microbreweries.

Popped in here a couple of times for a wine/ale. There is a nice big outdoors area, so given it was good weather we didn't spend any time inside. The staff seemed like a friendly bunch - I'd be happy to have it as my local back home!

Friend organised a walk with a R/L lunch stop. He had rang before hand and understood that a simple menu would be available at lunch time. When we arrived the barmaid informed us NO food. Could we go and purchase a sandwich to eat it with our beer - NO. Could we purchase a sandwich and eat outside with our beer - NO. Will we be returning and sampling more of the excellent beer -NO

Tldr: great service, great beer, great space, sometimes too many young humans (not students, for a change!). Give it a whirl! This pub has been my nearest pub for the past 3 years and I haven't had chance to give it the love it deserves. Always quick service, a great selection of real ales and I've never felt that it's 'a local pub for local people', if you get me? They've recently had an outside area built which is fantastic, but on a number of occasions its felt a little like a creche as its (understandably) a good area for the kids to have a little more space. I get that, but if you want to enjoy your Dashingly Dark in peace sometimes inside is the only option, which is fine! Pretty sure it has a real fire too, which is a bonus when it's cold! Though that could have been a really boring dream, so don't quote me on it..

We were here at the very first Sunday lunch prepared by this new chef. He didn't disappoint. For starters I had the homemade leek and potato soup with a really thick slice of the most wonderful brown bread and butter. ( I don't even like brown bread, but this was lovely). The soup was perfectly seasoned and I drank every last drop! Next came the roast beef dinner. 4 thick slices of tender beef, homemade Yorkshire pudding, creamed and roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and red cabbage. The gravy was really tasty and it came in its own little jug so you can add as much or as little as you like. Feeling completely stuffed after this we asked if we could delay the pudding for about 30 minutes. This was no problem at all. So..... onto the pudding. I had the homemade fruit crumble and custard. Delicious. I am definitely going to return, and would urge anybody reading this to come and enjoy a meal here. The waiting staff were attentive and did a really good job. Nothing was too much trouble and they coped really well considering the almost full restaurant. Well done
