The Rose & Crown in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food, service, and staff.

Only came across the Rose and Crown recently and we love it. The staff are amazing, helpful and can’t do enough for you. The first time we came we didn’t book and we soon realised why it’s better to . The pub was full within 30 mins all the customers dining . The menus are varied with thought for all. Small portions or large portions. I opted for a half pint of whitebait and a burger which were both cooked to perfection. It’s a proper community pub , well cared for with fantastic staff and a great chef . I’m a gm of a hotel myself and love the Rose and Crown in Thurstonland 👍🏼👍🏼

Food not the best , very bland . Chip fat needed changing . pretty bad standard pub food

We visit here most weeks as we just love it so much, staff are amazing and so friendly and the food is always top class. Never had a bad meal here and always plenty of food as well. Can't rate the Rose and crown enough.

To be honest £89 to sleep under a bright emergency light. You can’t go out after 11!!!! We was only told this on arrival - the message arrived not long before we arrived…. There was mice in the ceiling. Having to leave a big chunk of key every time you leave. Made us feel very clostrophbic - also the room was boiling hot with no air con…. Food was brilliant. But pricey. Staff was helpful. I would give this stay a 4/10.

Ace pub. Super friendly, clean, well run with straight forward high quality food and they sell farmers blonde! Kids made to feel welcome. Our favourite pub in the Holmfirth area, highly recommended.

Little gem of a place , great rooms , great service, great location !

Great place, good size clean rooms with a really good shower, value for money quality food and decent portions with an excellent selection of real ales

A proper pub. Great beer, good food and friendly staff. Dog friendly too.

For me, this was the most appalling meal I have been served since I left school 60 years ago. The menu offered “ Indian style prawn curry” No self respecting Indian would have ever served anything so very tasteless and gross. What was presented was a mush of mainly carrots, mushrooms and a few bullet textured prawns. No hint of Indian spices, no taste of curry. Just a very disappointing heap of compost. The cook has no concept of what Indian food tastes like and needs to taste what it he makes, he may realise the how poor his attempts are. My friend was also very disappointed with his gammon. The meat presented was no thicker than a piece of bacon, Overcooked, tough and overall a waste of money. I was recommended to eat here but despite the charming waitress, it is definitely a no go for us. Shame as the pub is very nice.

Went for dinner last night, had a Pod outside. The meal was really good.

Had the gammon and it was OK! Nice pub in a quiet village good service decent choice of drinks would recommend 👌

1st time in the rose and crown great place to eat and drink service and the staff were so nice and very friendly.

Excellent food and friendly service.

Met friends for lunch. There was an extensive menu with lots of choice. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was a generous portion even for the lite bite lunch and everything was hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend it and will be returning in the near future

Had takeaway, generous portions and great tasting food.

This is our second visit. The first time Jackie had a very poor Thai curry. Today we decided to give the Rose and Crown a second chance. Jackie had asparagus warped in palma ham. Very nice. When the chap on the next table received his, it had a cheese sauce over it. NOT ours!!! Main course...... I had gammon. Tough as old boots!!!! How on earth do you overcook gammon? Jackie had chicken something. The chicken was inedible. (Cooked some days ago I suspect) The bar staff were wonderful. When I told them that our food was well below standard, they accepted this. It was as though negative comments were not uncommon. Sorry Rose and Crown. That's our last visit.

Food still Ok here. I don't know why they are trying to charge an energy surcharge when beer and food prices have increased substantially and energy is on the way down?🤔

We were in Thurstonland to visit friends for the weekend and we had breakfast & evening meals a total of 4 times over the weekend. The food was excellent. The staff are all friendly and organised and the service is second to none. A fine traditional pub with a proper landlord who knows how to treat his staff and customers. If I could rate it higher, I would.

This is our fifth stay over the past three months and the food continues to excell. Fabulous steak,chips mushrooms onion rings and with 5 beautifully cooked vegetables at the side.Liver and onions with fab mash and gravy wonderful cooking. This pub is the very best for food and selection of drinks and service. A joy to visit Richard his staff and family such a warm welcome.

Chef: You know what you did. Shame on you. The nice dogs and people helped but really, being surrounded by farms raising the finest beef and you served that.

We had dinner recently. Very good service and a great menu with a number of specials. Tasty food - and good value.

Un pub tradizionale, tipicamente inglese, situato in un villaggio di campagna. L’atmosfera è quella della vera Inghilterra. Le camere sono calde e accoglienti con belle vedute. I proprietari sono fantastici: a fronte di un pesante ritardo del nostro volo aereo ci hanno accolto in tarda serata con il sorriso e ci hanno preparato a cucina chiusa un ottimo fish and chips. La colazione inglese è squisita. Grazie per l’accoglienza e complimenti a voi per la vostra gentilezza e professionalità.

Such a lovely place to go and eat! We had one of the pods to eat in and it was so very very nice. Food was superb! Staff polite and friendly. Catered for an allergy and a “fussy one” We treated ourselves to desert … everyone opted for sticky toffee pudding and it did not disappoint.

Had a lovely meal at the Rose and Crown, Thurstonland. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and had excellent service all evening. The food was top notch - very, very tasty and all at reasonable prices. Overall a great place for a meal or just drinks. Only down side is parking is difficult but totally worth the hassle. Be back soon.

Traditional pub with inventive food. Well-kept beer and accommodation at a reasonable price. Friendly staff and idyllic rural setting. Could not ask for more.

Called Sunday evening and told there was only one roast left which we ordered. When it arrived however the Yorkshire pudding was black, the stuffing balls were like rubber and there was no sausage or roast potatoes. The plate had just been filled up with rock hard carrots. Eventually they agreed to take it back and supply something else but will never go back

Just wanted to praise Richard and the team for a wonderful lunch. We hadn’t booked in advance but we’re seated quickly (after checking in) We ordered Nachos for starters which were plentiful and tasty. Burger and Fish butty for our mains. Both were fantastic and beautifully presented. Fries and proper chips cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back. THANK YOU

I have coeliac disease and sent a message in advance asking if they had gluten free options and was told they had. On arrival I was told that I couldn’t have anything with chips as they didn’t have a separate fryer. So I only had 3 choices and one was salad! I opted for belly pork and it was sent without gravy so extremely dry and was really disappointing. PLEASE DO NOT SAY YOU CAN ACCOMMODATE GLUTEN FREE WHEN YOU CLEARLY CANNOT!

18 months since my 5✨ review. Still a regular venue of ours. Food and beers still very good. I don't know why but the service has gone backwards. The wait for food was almost an hour on our last two visits.

This is a great local pub - not posh, but very friendly with good beers and food. Very welcoming for groups, families, couples, dog walkers, etc. The fresh seafood is especially good -and the lunch time fish and chips with peas at £5.95 is an absolute bargain.

4 of us enjoyed their 2 steaks and a bottle of wine evening. Steaks beautifully cooked as ordered. A lovely local village pub with excellent food We go about once a month and we have never been disappointed.

Traditional small village pub that delivers on food drink service & atmosphere time after time.7pm on a manky Friday night the pub is full of diners & drinkers, not surprising as the beer is good, well kept, the array of gins are plentifulFood fills the plate, every mouthful delicious, from locally produced steaks to more "exotic" Skate Wings. The fish on fish & chips is huge hanging over both ends of the plate. Staff are always friendly and the welcome is always warm. A pub doing in right.

Lovely owner lovely breakfast great price evening meals reasonable price & good quality Could my ask for more The room was adequate overlooking car park The location was ideal for where we were travelling too Near Leeds Highly recommend

I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of this pub and regularly enjoy a walk over the fields before food and a pint.Richard and his staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. I've not stayed overnight myself but family members who have done recommend it. We regularly bring family and friends to eat here. Really good value, freshly prepared local pub food with daily specials and fish and seafood every Friday. The steak pie and Sunday roasts are always a good bet but there is lots of choice. A good range of local beers on tap. Quiz night on Wednesday is good fun.

Staying local for a week, and have eaten at here twice so far.First time was steak pie which was fabulous, absolutely loved the suet pastry crust.Returned today for Sunday lunch and had roast turkey dinner. Can honestly say it’s the best pub roast that I’ve had in years. On top of this the service and friendliness of the staff was second to none.Would highly recommend The Rose and Crown, well worth a visit

Great food will be back i had meat pie full of big chunks of meat had ajob to eat it all this is the first time we have been we will be back

The Rose and Crown is a traditional Yorkshire pub situated in the picturesque village of Thurstonland. There was a large selection of drinks on offer including 5 real ales. The menu was extensive with a good selection for vegetarians. The food was of a good quality and was excellent value for money. I would strongly recommend a visit to this pub.

My sister in law booked for us to eat here after visiting previously so we decided to walk up from our accommodation in Thunderbridge , 2 miles uphill earned us a drink outside before going to our reserved table. The Fishcakes were good just not exceptional , the pique hot and tasty. For mains 2 whole plaice and 2 cod chunks with tikka sauce. Again perfectly cooked cod, but probably I would prefer a little more flavour. to the sauce. 1 Lemon Meringue pie was declared very light and perhaps not lemony enough . The damage £80 for 4 of us each having 2 courses and 1 had 3 courses. The drinks 4 of them came free with 2 courses so that kept cost down . Great friendly service in busy pub with good atmosphere. Definitely one to go back to.

Just been staying in the area for the weekend and visited this wonderful pub several times .. Great beer lovely food what's not to like ...

I chose here for an overnight stay whilst in Yorkshire for a family occasion the previous day.

Another excellent meal and good beer. Service very good, Landlord and staff very friendly. Be sure to book as they get very busy

We rarely even look at the menu, though it is extensive. It's just that the steak and ale pie is so good, it would be a pity to miss it. This is the best pub grub anywhere!!

Second visit this Sunday lunch, been previously on a weekday. Sampled the menu, and tried the Sunday roast. Have to say the food is outstanding, fresh, tasty, served promptly and delicious. The Sunday roast yesterday was also excellent, the smoked haddock starter was really good and the roast pork tender and tasty.

This is one of our regular venues especially for lunch. It is terrific value for money at £4.99 and offers tasty pub grub especially the pies. Friendly service and good beer make this a favourite choice.

Fitted us in at very short notice on a Saturday night. Good pub food and cracking atmosphere. Very friendly locals. Host Richard is champion.

After spending seven hours on the road and checking in to our B and B we headed here for some food. The place was packed out but we managed to find the last table and ordered our food and a couple of drinks. The staff were very friendly even though it was a very busy Friday night. The food was amazing, we had the pork medallions in pepper sauce. We didn't have to wait very long, the food was piping hot and delicious. Would certainly recommend this place.

...was the motto that welcomed us in on an incredibly crowded Good friday night. As we had been traveliing all day, we didn't want to go elsewhere and just as well. We were sat down and promised the next available table. We duly wited no more that 15 minutes and had an excellent meal (good choice, fabulous portions). Beer wwas well kept and a good choice of wines. So happy, went again the next (final) night - although we took the precaution of booking this time! Another excellent meal - good service and a warm welcome. Thank you

The Rose & Crown offers a good choice of menu with all the usual favourites. We particularly enjoy the Friday fresh fish which was fantastic. Our companions had the pie which they thought was excellent. Be warned that the portions are generous. The meals are very reasonably priced and the pub has a cosy warm atmosphere. No room for dessert.We could only manage one pudding between the two of us.We would certainly recommend this excellent pub.

lovely pub excelent food ,good selection on the menu and they do a fish friday with a great selection of dishes go before 12.30 as it gets very busy. they also do a lunch menu which is a little cheaper.

We visited this pub last night which was a steak night, what a lovely pub we could not fault the service or the food. We cannot believe we have just found this pub after living in the area 10 years and the added bonus is that they allow well behaved dogs. We will definitely be visiting again very soon.

We stayed the night on a journey north and it was perfect. The classic pub menu was great and the food was exactly what I needed after a long journey. We stayed the night upstairs in a cosy room. Very accommodating in the morning with a hearty breakfast.

Stopped here after a nice walk on a sunny and crisp day. Food was lovely, I had Whitby haddock and chips and a pint of amazing porter. My family had a great pie and turkey sandwich. Only big but is the time we had to wait despite only 3 tables were having lunch. More than 35min. I guess they were short of staff but at east should have let us know. Pub is beautiful and very cosy.

We love visiting our 'local' and trying the different dishes. Always good sized portions and always good food. Better than your average pub food.

The food is very nice with a large selection, I have been multiple times and have had the Hunter's Chicken which tastes amazing. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is in a very nice location.

Great lunch stop when out walking. Good reasonably priced food and very welcoming staff. They don’t seem to mind you...

Thought we would try a meal at this country pub and were really glad we had done as it has...

La hora del almuerzo. Buenas opciones de menú a precios razonables. Comida recién preparados. Patatas fritas caseras. Pollo cocinado a la perfección, así como hígado en batatas cama. Muy agradable y sabroso. Apple cayera era delicioso. Nos llamarán de nuevo gracias

Desayuno cocinado a la perfección. Richard y el personal no podría haber sido más acogedor y amable, te hace sentir menos en un establecimiento comercial y más como un nuevo amigo.

I found this pub as I was getting bored going down south all the time and this kept popping up, I read all the reviews and there were top marks all round for accommodation, food and beer (can't go wrong) not to mention the owner/staff. So I just booked it for 4 nights, it's the middle of nowhere and the complete opposite to where we live (Sunny Essex lol).What can we say from the moment we walked in Richard was there and was really friendly and welcoming, we went straight up to our room before lugging in the cases. The rooms are immaculately clean and a really good size, you have everything you need for a fantastic stay. The key's to the room's are unique we will say and they made us both laugh . (Picture not included so if you want to see it you will have to go). After we were settled and unpacked we headed to the bar and OMG before we had even ordered drinks we were speaking to the locals- (I do have to say northern hospitality is underestimated and will definitely miss that!) the bar staff (yes Richard you are of course included lol) were fantastic, very attentive and welcoming. They have a plaque in the bar saying 'enter as strangers leave as friends'- this is so true.Food... what to say... we both have said frequently it's excellent, hats of to the chef as we couldn't fault a thing and yes we ate and drank a lot! One night I just about managed to munch two steaks that were cooked perfectly (food is that good)! With no complaints. The breakfasts are a force to be reckoned with! Didn't get to try the full English (as we were full from the night before), but hey next timeThe area was so picturesque and Truly idyllic, we loved just driving round and seeing where we ended up, getting out now and again to take snaps and having a walk. We will return, and already miss the place/locals......most of all the banter! Thanks for an amazing stay. Gives us something to look forward to returning too and can't wait until next time.Keep up the good work Rich, thanks once again for everything and see you again soon mate.Mart and Net, (mr & mrs Essex)!

Great food as always . You get a lot of lovely food for your money, friendly staff and a warm welcome.

Cosy, traditional village pub with good selection of beers and a good menu. Porions are huge and very tasty. Hard to fault at price!

Good pub food with excellent portions. Shouldn't have had a starter because the pie was a meal in itself. All good though

Always provide an excellent pint and the food is well above average especially the very generous amount of haddock in batter and delicious mushy peas.

We booked B&B had a great dinner of good pub grub, annoyed everyone by nearly winning the pub quiz, had ago of nights sleep, great full English breakfast and at great prices. Probably never find the,place again but saved by the satnav in the end. Worth a visit.

We stayed for 1 night in this lovely little pub b&b on New Year's Eve 2016. The full english breakie we both had was delicious and the staff were super welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The room was spacious and the double bed was so comfortable!The pub is accessible from the centre of huddersfield which takes about 15 mins in a taxi and also very close to Castle Hill , Lockwood, Farnley Tyas and Honely. I would highly recommend more than 1 nights stay if you want to have a drive around the overlooking landscape of this scenic area and surrounding villages as it's very pretty. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A very pleasant stay at the Rose and a Crown. The evening meal was excellent and would highly recommend the homemade steak and ale pie and chips. Good efficient service and the food was nice and hot. Excellent wi fi connection as well.

The menu was quite varied and competitively priced with everything prepared freshly to order. Would definitely eat there again if in the area

Large menu choice and good quality and tasteful good, with very large portion at a very afordable price

I booked here the night before we were due to go and was asked what time we would like to go. I duly told the young man and also explained that i had a taste card which would entitle us to a discount. He said that was fine and it had been put in the diary no problem.When we arrived a very polite young barmaid said that a table hadn't been set for us but it wasn't a problem. I again reiterated the fact that I had a taste card. We duly ordered our food which when it came was absolutely fine.The problem came when i came to pay the bill. The owner?chef? was extremely rude when I offered the taste card, she said that there was nothing in the diary and I hadn't made a booking which I certainly had. After much huffing and puffing and tutting on her part she allowed me to use the taste card.May i suggest if the establishment does not want taste card customers then it should remove the place from the Taste Card List.

Stayed here last night as a base while going to Holmfirth Picturedrome. Wonderful staff, clean warm room, great food, lots of real ales to choose from.Nothing too much trouble. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area. TOP MARKS!! Thank you Richard and your staff.

Went for a meal on Saturday night. This is a pub not a Restraunt with very good value quality food. Meal was of a very good standard and was really hot. The rice pudding at the end of the meal was a real treat.

Great unpretencious pub with a good atmosphere.The owners were on holiday, but the staff was wonderful. I stayed there for three nights in the inn. Had all my breakfasts and diners there. They food was very good, my compliments to the chef. It's as a pub should be. Like a village living room.Good beers on cask and affordable too.I am a dutchman with an interest in craft beers and industrial heritage.

We have visited several times in 2015 to round off our weekly Monday walk. The hospitality, food and, importantly, the quality and choice of real ale is first rate. We had our Christmas lunch here and had a great time. The club members have voted The Rose & Crown as our pub of the year. We will be back in 2016.

My wife & I stayed last night at The Rose and Crown, The Village Thurstonland. It is a real, lovely pub with friendly staff, great food, & comfortable rooms. Not forgetting the friendly locals, couldn't do enough for us, really a treat.We arrived, the pub was busy, however, we were shown straight to our rooms, no problem. The room was comfortable, good size & the bathroom very nice & clean. No problem.We ate at the Rose & Crown, food top class, well cooked & presented. No one will complain there isn't enough food on the plate, as you do get your moneys worth, that's for sure.Many fine ales to choose from, as well as Lagers & Ciders.Breakfast, well, was not disappointing, either, a good hearty well cooked & presented english breakfast, just what is wanted, first class.Nick & Suzanne.Durham

We called for a drink while passing through the village of Thurstonland on a Wednesday night, which is quiz night. 30 questions of general knowledge with a playing card bingo game and a chip butty what more do you need for a Wed. A very friendly pub with a big heart we were made very welcome by everyone. Will be back thanks

A warm welcome from a wonderful Landlady, great menu and large portions. Would definitely recommend The Rose & Crown at Thurstonland.

Very good stay in this welcoming country pub. Super service, food, views, walks, and we would definitely stay again. Not plush but good honest country pub-- lots of local atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We ate here a couple of nights running while staying at a B&B in the village. There was a fair choice on the menu, and the staff we met were very friendly. One night we both had the curry off the specials board, which had a bottle of house wine thrown in, all for £20 for both - can't complain at that! A friendly, traditional pub that makes you realise what we are losing when so many are being forced to close.

We stopped for lunch here. There was a very friendly welcome. Prices were very reasonable and the meals were good value - good food.

We loved this pub, it is so traditional, great food, great beer and lovely friendly people. Look forward to going back it is so welcoming.

Can get very busy but the staff do their best to help food is of a good standard,easy access good car park will be going back.

Visited 2 nights running Aug 2014. Met by very friendly helpful staff. Food excellent and good price. Beers super.

We just dropped in for a few drinks on a quiet Sunday night while staying locally overnight. Richard made us immediately welcome and served me a few tastings of his great house ales without charge. I returned the favour by ordering a few of my favourite, being Irish I am not a great ale drinker but I was very impressed with his selection and the choice that I made, ordering a few pints or more of some strange Northern stuff that tasted great. I can't remember the names and it doesn't matter because Richard will do the same thing to you. Rejoice.!You are not an anonymous visitor to the Rose & Crown, Richard includes you. He allowed us to select music on his new fangled music player (used to be a Jukebox in my day.!) Included us in the Pizza order for his children and laughed at me when I wanted posh vodka (is Grey Goose posh ..?) Yes, you know you are home when the Landlord feels comfortable enough telling you Grey Goose is not for hardened Yorkshire people and you are just a big Girls blouse trying to order it in a proper pub.So I had some more ale. Great pub. Great Owner. Great fun, do not miss it.

The Rose and Crown is an unpretentious pub in an out of the way spot near Holmfirth. My wife & I have lunched there on a couple of occasions and have not been disappointed. Richard & Wendy offer good quality reliable pub food together with an excellent selection of well kept real ales. On both occasions I've enjoyed steak pie topped with a light short crust pastry (none of this puff pastry rubbish!) while my wife enjoyed fish & chips both of which came with proper chunky chips.Moderate prices make the Rose & Crown excellent value and it's well worth searching out. We will definitely be back.

But so good, I'm doing it twice. FriendlyWarmExcellent foodComfortable roomsWhat more do you want?

A great atmosphere at the Rose & Crown. Every night has a theme - Friday is Fish night with all the seafood coming from Fowey in Cornwall. Wendy and Richard are great Chefs - the food was delicious served by very attentive staff. good choice of ales and cider. Yorkshire folk are so welcomimg and we soon made friends in the pub.

called in on saturday tea time. it was very busy with locals at the bar but the restaurant bit empty so got ourselves a seat. the bar staff and locals all seemed very friendly and the food was lovely , i had the stilton and mushroom burger and oh had fish and chips which was very large. the only reason that i am only giving 3/5 is because i could smell wet dog... yes it had been raining earlier that day but the smell for me was quite off putting, it didn't bother the oh so maybe i am more sensitive to smells. it is a country pub and that does bring walkers with dogs so maybe we should of chosen somewhere else. but if you don't mind the dog smell then go for the food as it was top notch!

Stayed here for a night. Close to Holmfirth in a village setting. Were made to feel very welcome by Richard, the host, when checking in. There was a lively pub atmosphere of mainly locals in the evening, but not rowdy at closing time, if you've already retired for the night!There are only a couple of rooms, but they are well appointed, with everything you need for a short stay. The pub menu is good and the beers are well kept. All the staff were friendly and genuinely interested in their guests.Would be happy to stay here again.

Fantastic local pub bar staff very friendly and obligingly. Also have rooms so can eat drink and stay. The landlord Richard is exceptional. Definitely worth a trip out to.

Richard, the proprietor, is warm and welcoming. There is a pleasant and friendly atmosphere in this pub. The food is excellent. Wendy who is the chef provides freshly prepared dishes. I recommend the steak, fish and mussels. Lots of local ales to tempt your taste buds.SKY Sports is also available.And if you are a business traveler lodging in the area. This is not a bad place to spend the night.

I went with my family and there was no one vin the restaurant so no atmosphere the service was good apart from that the food was below average the burger was just mince meat no seasoning really bland and most of it just seemed bought it

This is a pub that we have re-discovered. For food it is one of my favourites, the menu is very good. There is a specials board for seasonal choices. I am a faddy eater and my husband used to be a chef so when we say the food is good we actually mean that generally it is excelent.

Excellent value , friendly staff, beautiful clean room and beautiful clean en suite , village pub atmosphere , food portions large and tasty . Will definitely be going again x x

we stopped here overnight after visiting the yorkshire sculpture park. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed a relaxed meal, comfortable beds and a good breakfast. We also appreciated the hot water and high quality towels and were delighted to hear we could also bring our dog next time. we definitely hope to visit again next time we are in the area.Elspeth Lea- Wilson

We recently stayed at the Rose and Crown and were very impressed. The rooms were spotless and spacious and the breakfast the next morning was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the price was very reasonable. I have stayed on hotels and b+b's all over the world and would not hesitate in recommending this little gem!

This is a smashing pub! We have been coming here for nearly 20 years. Lots of changes over that time. They are trying to make an honest living out of good food and great beer- what's not to like about that?! The suet puddings are great, and if you like proper fish n chips, this is the place for you! A reliable good quality meal!

Very pleasant looking from the outside but inside is reminiscent of an old pub come boarding house affair there's a good choice and theme nights try to be interesting but unfortunately it's just bog standard pub food. They should try to stop being too clever and stick to good pub meals and initiate some atmosphere. Not worth the trip

A old-fashioned village pub. Great food and atmosphere. Very good selection of real ales including their own brewery "Brass Monkey". The staff are welcoming and extremely helpful. The landlord Richard is a great guy and can't do enough for customers. Accommodation is very comfortable. Will be back here as soon as we can.

Having not been to this pub before we weren't sure what to expect. As group of 7 (30 something's) we all appreciate decent food, and the boys wanted decent real ale on tap and we weren't disappointed. The service was brilliant and not only were we made to feel very welcome but the waitress couldn't be more helpful - bringing extra portions and even knocking us £16 off our bill!We all had either the black pudding fish cakes or battered Brie for starters, which was well presented, hot, crisps and more than generous in size. for mains the majority of us( on the recommendation of our lovely waitress) went for the suet pastry steak pie, as she assured us it had been made that day And we would love it. We couldn't decide on chips or mash so she kindly said shed just bring a selection of sides.The portion size was big and the pies were a gluttonous treat! As promised they came with wonderful homemade chunky chips, creamy mash, creamed leaks, red cabbage, carrots and parsnips. She even bought out more chips halfway through- needless to say we were stuffed! The pub had a singing comediene on, who was pretty good and the venue had a great friendly vibe with some tasty real ales. So everyone was happy.The bill was very reasonable too, We will certainly be heading back!
