A lovely pub for a meal and drinks. On site parking, dog friendly, excellent service. Pre-booking online is a good idea. Nice varied menu, relaxing atmosphere and a well decorated pub. Great quality food, nice varied menu. Would recommend to those exploring the area or just looking for a pleasant place to rest for a while.

We were there last night for a family meal. The food was excellent, as was the service. Games were laid out so my 8-year-old daughter didn't get bored. They went the extra mile to help with a nut allergy. The staff are extremely friendly and kind, and I can't wait to visit during the day for lunch.

Having a drive around ..26/10/2024 we spotted this pub through the trees ..I initially thought we were stopping just for a coffee, but the wife picked up a menu like she does just to have a nose. We both agreed on seeing the menu that we would definitely be eating..Both agreed on the Oktoberfest menu. …we ordered a sharing starter ..Two soft Drinks.Two coffees and Two main Meals. Staff are very friendly and polite…Food was amazing …A return visit is already on the agenda..

We are local to The Red Shoot and met friends who were camping at the pub's campsite for lunch. The food and drinks were great. Can recommend the Henry Burger! Staff were friendly and chatty and we enjoyed the outside seating area and environment.

Friday 27th September 2024, wife and I arrived at 7pm and were amongst the last to leave. One of the best evenings we’ve had in a pub in recent years! We ate & drank, even danced to the band. Staff, food, pub, other customers… all 100%. Our third or fourth visit, will definitely visit again soon. Thank you

As we are relative locals, my family has visited this establishment over the years on numerous occasions, but haven’t had cause to visit for about 1-2 years. On our last visit back then, we found the landlord to be unwelcoming, unfriendly and somewhat condescending. The food too on that occasion, was distinctly average and this was definitely a factor as to why we stopped walking to the Inn. Today however, due to the fact that we had family visitors, we took the opportunity to walk the dogs to the pub to give it another try. We were delighted to discover that the new landlord, (apologies but we didn’t get his name) was engaging, helpful and very welcoming. As we hadn’t booked a table for lunch, he tactfully and politely explained that all the indoor tables were booked, but invited us to go to the outside seating areas and order our food. Although the pub was extremely busy on this weekend, the gentleman remained engaging and polite throughout which I must say was a very pleasant surprise. The other waitresses too were kind, smiling and polite. Our food order was delivered in good time and was delicious and plentiful . Overall, this was an extremely pleasant visit. Not only were the landlord and staff pleasant and welcoming and the food good, they were more than tolerant of our two small dogs as well, for which we thank them profusely. We would definitely be happy to visit again. No complaints, many thanks. Highly recommended.

We dropped in for lunch and a pint after a three and a bit mile walk around Appleslade wood. It is very welcoming with a good selection of bottled and draught beers, cider wine, etc. There is a good choice of reasonably priced food on the menu. We had the Hunters Board sharing platter along with a portion of the bacon and cheese chips which was great. There was plenty for the three of us all washed down with a lovely pint of IPA. Well worth a visit.

I ordered the vegan roast and a chicken roast, one plate was twice as big as the other and the same price. The roast potatoes were rubbery as if they were days old. A poor effort considering the claims written on the menu about the quality and care of food.

My partner and I shared a Hunters board. Although the menu stated it included chutney it arrived without it. When we asked the waitress for the said that to her knowledge they didn’t have any so we went without. The meal certainly needed it to go with the pork pie and cheese so we were very disappointed. When cutting in to the scotch egg, the knife just wouldn’t go through it. I don’t know whether the egg had been over boiled but the white part of the egg was so hard and rubbery it certainly put me off even trying it. Also the sour dough bread which arrived with it was partially stale and appeared to have been put under a heat lamp or microwaved. All in all, not a pleasurable experience although the setting was lovely.

We participated in the rock n roll bingo one evening which was fun. Very dog friendly too! Perfect to pop in for a drink after a nice long walk through the forest. The sticky toffee pudding was particularly delicious! Looking forward to visiting again next year!

Really friendly and welcoming camp site. From the minute we turned up to when we left, everyone we met was super helpful and friendly. The basic need to knows were explained. The site is clean and very well kept. The toilet / shower block warm and the water hot. There is a well stocked shop and the pastries (to be ordered a day before) very tasty. Our visit was out of the main holiday season so relatively quiet, a few children and a group of well behaved D of E teenagers. We didn’t try the Saturday night pizzas as we’d booked a table at the country pub next door. The pub again has some really helpful staff and a good selection of pub food. Lots of great walks and cycle ways through the forest from the doorstep. I guess the only down side is that there is little to no 4G / 5G so if you want internet access WiFi is charged at £2.50 per 24 hours per device which can add up. We only live down the road but wanted to get away from reality for a couple of days and this suited us perfectly. Thank you to everyone, we will be back again.

Food took almost an hour to come out, a mixture of reviews of the food, the fish and chips were excellent, the Hunters chicken was dry the two onion rings were tough pieces of over cooked onion skin never seen onion rings like that before!

Avoid at all costs, the blonde lady behind the bar was very rude to me and rolled her eyes when I ordered my drink. Did not look happy to be there at all, I felt like an inconvenience to her. Didn't help that the owner was sat at the end of the bar getting drunk with all the locals, none of them seemed very friendly. Will not be coming back!

The food was very nice, but the service we felt was 'lacking'. The menus were already on the table, so we were not informed that there was a range of specials available, but this was not apparent when we ordered. My wife walked up to the bar to get some drinks, and was immediately told to go and sit down, and we'll take your drinks order, but we couldn't choose from what may of been at the bar! Don't even ask about Mocktails! "No we don't do those!" 😞 The specials only came to light when we had to go and locate a member of staff to take our sweet order! These were on little black boards on the wall near where you come in. The atmosphere was ok due to the lack of interaction from the staff.
