The Royal Oak in Test Valley

We booked here as a Birthday Meal and pre warned when booking that in the party we had a Gluten Free Allergy requirement. When booking in at the Restaurant we asked for a Gluten Free Menu. Our order was taken and within the 5 for £20 starters requested 2 lots of GF Garlic Bread. When the starters came out all were on one platter and not separated and after a couple of minutes waiting requested plates to be able to eat/share the food and at this point was told 'by the way the Garlic Bread is not Gluten Free, we didn't have any'. Thankfully my son had not started to eat!!! We then asked for the Food to be taken away and was brought back 10 minutes later as 2 no Gluten Free Buns toasted with Garlic Butter. The main meal of a Burger and Chips came out with the same bun, which was not eaten as already had enough...... Safe to say the 10% added service fee we took off. Very disappointed.

Stopped by for a meal and a drink while walking the dogs. Nice outside garden area but besides that it was very disappointing. Ordered a roast pork which arrived on a bed of shredded cabbage, undercooked parsnips and NO roast potatoes or crackling. Called the waiter over who scuttled off and returned with 4 roast potatoes about 10 minutes later. And no crackling. £19.50 for a seriously pathetic attempt at a Sunday roast. The young lady serving drinks at the bar definitely got out of the wrong side of the bed and needs a crash course on front of house do’s and don’t s . The shouting and swearing ftt rt I’m the kitchen was similar to a Gordon Ramsay TV show, except the service and quality was lacking. As a regular customer to The Royal Oak it is with huge disappointment that l write this review and won’t be returning in a hurry.

Excellent service Excellent quality of food staff very friendly and helpful Beer 🍺 was awesome 👌 Definitely go back again

We came for a nice evening meal but were very disappointed with the food. My mum's risotto seemed to have been microwaved, the mushrooms were slimy and did not seem very fresh at all. My double cheese burger was a joke, I have never paid so much money for such low quality food. The basic presentation was terrible, the meat was so over cooked it was dry as anything, the bun was like the super cheap ones you get 10 for 1£ in Aldi, the "relish" consisted of one piece of rancid onion. Honestly can't put into words how poor quality the food was. I had to go to McDonalds on the way home, even their junk food was A LOT better quality than the Royal Oak. There is really no excuse for such poor quality as we were the pretty much the only customers. There is no way that food was prepared by a 'chef', well not one with any self respect anyway. Such as shame as it could be a great pub. I wouldn't mind if it was cheap and poor but expensive and poor is not acceptable.

What a fabulous pub. We met as a family. The Sunday lunch was perfect, we all had something different and everything was so tasty and well cooked. Best of all, we were not hurried off our table and had time to relax and chat. The little village is lovely to walk round too. Perfect

Warm welcome upon arrival ,sat by the open wood fire they had lit creating a beautiful ambiance, the menu offers lots of options for food I went with a beef roast dinner, it exceeded my expectation, lots of colour on plate all veg was cooked and seasoned well. Definitely will be returning to the Royal Oak for another roast dinner and to try some of there specials they have to offer.

Lovely pub lunch, we had sandwiches which were fresh and we love the support they give to local suppliers. Will definitely return when we are in the area

Lovely pub atmosphere, very good service and excellent food. The beer selection is pretty good too. Reasonably priced and we can recommend the ribs and the pork with mustard sauce

Our large party of thirteen was exceptionally served and catered for recently at The Royal Oak. The service was friendly and timely, and the food was just brilliant. There is a lot of choice on the menu, and the pub also has a large choice of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. This was not the first time we visited, and we will certainly be going back again and again.

This is the first time I have visited under the new management and I am not impressed, the table where we sat had something fairly large squashed on the dado rail, the seats need some padding as they are worn with no support, the service was quite good until we got to the sweet, a scoop of ice cream is not the same as a mini carton!! I had a vanilla cheese cake, it had never seen vanilla or cheese, it was just an aeriated cream on some crushed digestive biscuits. We had Sunday lunch, the roast beef had a great layer of fat through the centre of each piece and either the knives need sharpening or it was not a great bit of beef, quite disappointing and certainly not worth the increased cost, safe to say we will not be visiting again

Just had a great family meal, the food and atmosphere were fabulous. The staff were welcoming and helpful ☺️.

We went for the recommendations from the staff and they did not disappoint. Food and service was excellent, we will definitely be back. Fantastic atmosphere, very chilled and relaxed. Would highly recommend.

I attended a Work Summer Event event at The Royal Oak on a hot June afternoon that continued into the evening. The setting couldn't have been better and the beer garden was perfect for the occasion. The Royal Oak really pulled out all the stops. The food was excellent - top class and lots of choice. Service from the staff was exceptional - nothing was too much trouble to ensure that we all had a great time. I would recommend the Royal Oak to anyone looking to organise a corporate event and expecting a high-level of professional service.

We reden langs dit restaurant en zagen de gezellige beer garden met diverse pick nick tafels bezet. We wilden pas uur later eten maar t zag er aanlokkelijk uit!

Went to a corporate event hosted by Royal Oak. The whole experience was first class, catering, ambience, staff politeness and great entertainment. The whole Royal Oak team made a fantastic effort to ensure the event was a big success.

Excellent food, staff were attentive and super-friendly. All in all a very pleasant evening, spent with good company and great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when in the vicinity.

Absolutely amazing venue. The Royal Oak is a very welcoming, beautiful beer garden, wonderful friendly staff. Lucy, the lady in charge, has done a fantastic job. Came with family and enjoyed a variety of meals, pizza for the children, adults we chose Ribs, Fishcake and the ceaser burger. They are all undeniably amazing meals. Was a very busy evening, and we were lucky to take the last time inside that as available but also plenty of space outside in their gazebo outside restaurant, which we enjoyed drinks in after our meals. The staff were attentive and polite. We notice a lot of Gluten Free options which we think is utterly fantastic as we have a member in our family who struggle for things she can eat so to know they can do GF fish and chips, alongside a variety of Homemade GF desserts means we can bring her our and she doesn't need to fret! Will be returning! Sad I didn't take photos of the food at the time, but got a photo of the stunning cake on the bar!

My family and I enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon and evening in this village pub. As it was a lovely day we spent the entire visit in the beautiful garden in which the kids could run around and explore in safety. We enjoyed some lovely food with great service and found the beer and ales to be excellent! Although we didn’t sit inside as it such a lovely day, it looked very cosy in a traditional and homely fashion. Would definitely recommend, especially the garden on a nice day.

My family went to meet friends and it was the first time we had visited the Royal Oak. I was really impressed with the quality of food and the owners of were very personable, really polite and welcoming. We would definitely recommend for anyone in...

We came here one very sunny afternoon, it was really peaceful, and a pleasant experience to be able to eat, chat and be able to hear yourself. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful without being overbearing. Little bit more expensive than I thought, though a ciabatta was £8 and chips £4 which was only about 10 chips.. however, both made for a delicious lunch and a lovely treat. We didn't feel rushed either, so ordered pudding and more drinks and carried on nattering. What more do you need.!

We arranged to have a Summer Party (full day and into the evening) at the Royal Oak in Goodworth, Clatford on Saturday 10th June 2023. What a great event and experience we had. There were over 100 guests, with many guests bringing their families as well. The event was well planned, the food served was top quality, the drinks flowed, the service was excellent, the staff attentive to everyone's needs, and the garden and atmosphere was truly fantastic. The children also loved the day, as bouncy castles were laid on for them as well. A truly memorable experience, and one we will hopefully repeat again next year.

This is our 2nd visit to the Royal Oak, as ever, the food was beautiful, I had the lasagne, so tasty and filling, accompanied by garlic bread with a side of skin on fries…..lovely! My Wife had the beef dinner, no complaints! Yum! Kids eat...

We visited this pub for Sunday Lunch as it had been recommended to us by friends. On arrival we received a lovely welcome from the staff, very friendly. We had a few drinks at the bar prior to lunch. They had a good selection of...

We have been twice recently, first time lunchtime during the week. It wasn’t very busy and service was very attentive, food tasty and hot. Second visit a Sunday lunch. We were a table of 5 crammed onto a table for 4, the table was on...

This pub was very welcoming, and the staff were really nice and smiley. The lighting was perfect using only candle-light, didn't burn your eyes out like some pubs with ceiling lights. Not too mention the food was really good, no complaints.

Sat at our table for 7 which was sticky....(at 12.30 ??) Cutlery smeery as were some of the wine glasses on the table. One even had dried  food remnants on it. We cleared them ourselves to another table. Ordered Sunday roasts at £18.95 each, pretty...

Friday mid-January lunchtime trip to a pub we've been to frequently but not since it changed hands. Since it has been taken over, it's been renovated and is a lot brighter and seems cleaner and more modern. Service was friendly and prompt. The main menu...

We turned up, a party of 4, without a booking. Probably most pub restaurants nightmare because one of us is vegan and one non dairy pescatarian. I am used to having very little choice and feeling like an inconvenience to establishments that serve food. Nothing...

10/10 staff and atmosphere, the food is superb especially the pizzas. Very nice friendly vibe, highly recommend.

We were recommended to this pub which has recently changed hands, by a local resident. We were impressed by the decor and atmosphere as we entered. There were two open lit fires and the welcome was equally warm! The smoked trout and cream cheese sandwich...

A very enjoyable meal with friends at the pub this evening. It has recently changed hands (Nov 22), but the menu still has a wide ranging choice including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The pub is still accessible and dog friendly too which is...

So grateful to TripAdvisor for making this exceptional pub food findable. We were heading down the A303 to Cornwall, looking for a lunch stop somewhere around Andover. This was a perfect outcome, pretty country pub with a warm welcome just 5 mins South of the...

Lovely setting, beautiful pub garden. We ordered the hog bap and brie and beetroot tart. Both were absolutely beautiful, delicious homemade coleslaw and lots of salad. The service was great and prices fair.

Staying locally and passed the sign a few times. On checking the menu, we thought it had variety and a few things enticed us. There was a friendly welcome and the pub had a number of groups already eating on a Monday night. The menu...

We visited this village pub for the first time today and it was great! The staff were so friendly and the food was superb! We will absolutely visit again. Thank you for yummy food and great service

Friday lunchtime meal - nice seating area, very friendly and quick service. The main menu is very good, but the addition of plenty of specials makes it really hard to choose what to have. The usual selection of pub dishes, but with pizzas, sandwiches, plus...

Looking for lunch with friends we were a little late in the day but were welcomed warmly, orders taken and food arrived promptly. Our plates were warmed, food perfectly cooked, classic pub grub. Great garden setting and indoors looked smart too. The superb friendly service...

Sat in the lovely outdoor area and had the Bacon Double Cheeseburger and was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. Just simple good food! My partner had the chicken stack and the peppercorn sauce was incredible! Will visit again!

So, you are driving down the A303, yes a thankless task I know, and need to stop. The A303 is a desert as far as good places to feed and water the traveller. Fear not, just three short miles from the tortuous stream of traffic,...

We didn't know what to eat, so decided to drive just down the road to the Royal Oak. We were not disappointed we both opted for the Sri Lankan Lamb curry, it was absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic and the curry came with rice,...

Came to the Oak with my friend lovely food great service friendly bar staff. Social distancing in place sat in the garden afterwards. Relaxed atmosphere. Been here a few times great to see friends and relax.

As we're allowed to socialise again outdoors and beer gardens are open we decided to take the plunge and meet friends for lunch in this village pub. We know the pub from their midweek quiz nights (pre-pandemic) but had never frequented their outdoor facilities before....

Called in for lunch when out for a walk. It was during the Covid19 restrictions so there were distancing measures in place. The lunch menu was pretty comprehensive even though we had sandwiches with sides. Sandwiches were good but the garlic bread was undercooked. Not...

Because you’ve joined the government scheme for the 50% discount it doesn’t mean that you can serve at 50% of the quality Everything was served in a bowl which made the presentation awful and the quality of the food wasn’t very good either; I was...

Always such a delight to visit this establishment, as a couple or as a family, nice quiet and picturesque area, landlord and colleagues always happy and friendly, nothing is ever too much bother. Food is very nice and reasonably priced. Always happy visiting this pub....

We had booked a table for a family celebratory lunch on a quiet Friday afternoon, but were turned away (or more accurately we walked out in disgust) when we were informed that our 2 small children could not eat the sandwiches we had brought for them.

We were a group of 12 friends for a festive evening out. Food was excellent, service also extremely good - attentive without being intrusive so a very good evening all round.

It was nice food. They had very nice people there too! it looked very aesthetic for a pub and it’s in a very lovely little village.

Popped in after a walk around the village on a Saturday lunch. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a lovely pint called Clatford best. Had a Moroccan lamb, partner a beef Mumbai curry which were both lovely. Recommend highly.

An absolute amazing place to eat. Staff are super friendly, always at hand to make our experience even better. Had a roast and I have to say the potatoes are amazing. I also had a pint of the clatford best and would highly recommend to...

Unfortunately our experience was not that good. My friend and myself each ordered a curry. The rice crisps that accompanied the meal were stale. When it came to dessert the waffles were also stale. We complained to the management and were received with an apology...

I am very disappointed about our visit to the Royal Oak today, the food was horrible an we would never go there again. Do not recommend to anyone

We visited for lunch last Saturday , a late booking for a large group to celebrate my sisters birthday. I had lived in the area over 15 years ago and it was always my go to if I wanted good quality home cooked pub grub. After all this time the place is still great. From the communications prior to us arriving with arranging some birthday touches , answering my questions about their offerings for coeliacs and vegans to the service and the excellent quality of the food, nothing could be faulted. The chef came out to discuss options with those who had special requirements and they offered to keep the pub open whilst we finished our food for the birthday celebrations. 100% be visiting again when next down in the area to see family. Great value with excellent service and quality food.

Walked in to log fire burning - shame the flames went down to ashes while here but the Sunday Roast - OMGIt was out of this world, tasting and enough to satisfy a hungry tummy. And served to the table promptly.Only recommendations would be: Ask about gravy and maybe a gravy boat but the of gravy did not ruin the dinner. The service about clearing table offering a dessert menu needs huge improvements and we had to askSadly with majority of pubs/ restaurants the desert menu prices put us off having a desert.But we highly recommend this place, the food was fantastic and we will be back again soon.

The excellent quality of our lunch today for a party of four people was tremendous.I ordered from the special board chicken stuffed with a Stilton & Mushroom sauce with a bacon surround. Served with broccoli & a crisp potato bake it was delicious. The service was last class & the real Ales added to the overall enyoyment

We decided, with friends, to drop in for a few drinks. The interior is a bit olde worlde. Sitting by an open fire and of sofa and armchairs we enjoyed a very comfortable drinking session. At certain times of the day and evening, food can be ordered. Some limited parking available and some nice garden areas.

A very nice pub with two log burning fires and nice ambiance. We had the fish curry which was quite nice but the rice crackers were stale. Also the dessert pudding was a waffle with sauce but again the waffle was stale and chewy not how it should be, The bill came out at £70.00 for two persons which included a £25.00 bottle of Malbec way above the store bought price. We mentioned these faults to the staff but smiles and apologies wouldn't bring us back at those prices.

I wanted to find somewhere near Andover to share a meal with my daughter. We walked into the Royal Oak to find that the cricket world cup was on the big screen and food was available outside in the form of hog roast and bbq as part of a community commemoration event. This pub was busy, welcoming and felt like it was right at the heart of village life...a really enjoyable afternoon.

I love going here. The pub is always clean and the staff welcoming and it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere - just what you want from a country pub.

We had wonderful roast beef Sunday lunch with charming bar staff could not fault this beautiful establishment

3 male friends had lunch. Good menu. Beer well kept. Specials menu excellent. I had pheasant curry! Highly recommended

Excellent choice of beer, very friendly landlord and fantastic value for money. Their range of currys are hard to beat in the pub trade, Mumbai beef being one to stand out.

Went to the Royal with friends lovely Christmas meal great service drinks reasonable been here before. Lovely open fire. Will visit again sorry for the delayed review.

We actually visited a couple of times recently as we were in the area and love the food and the atmosphere

Great place to eat.....we have been there a few times and have never been dissapointed! Great service with a smile! Drinks are a reasonable price too.

Have visited this pub on a number of occasions, when visiting my mum in Andover, and have never been disappointed. The pub is warm, cosy and very welcoming, with excellent hosts and great traditional pub fare, supplemented by a good selection of daily specials.

Very welcoming pub with a good selection of food. Friendly staff. Good garden for warmer days. Plenty of parking availability.

We reserved a table.Great service and choice of local foods.Very good to have a choice of small and large portions.I had Fish & chips which was a light batter,peas and chips.We had icecreams for pudding all lovely flavours and coffee and mints.We also got a chocolate mint with the bill.Has a large carpark.Also has a wheelchair ramp which was good.

I arrived just before opening time and the owner let me in to work whilst they were still prepping. I had a hot chicken & bacon baguette which was tasty and good value. Recommended

Went to the pub for a private birthday party 23rd June 18. Lovely old pub with good beers and a nice cider. 3 types of curries cook special for the night and they were excellent. I had a beef curry which was spicy and tasty.

This is a large pub in a village outside Andover. It has a car park, and large beer garden. They stock an excellent range of beers and ciders. They also serve some rather nice wines at reasonable prices. The food is pub-grub, but very well presented, and tasting like it should.

Called in on a Wednesday lunch time and the pub was fairly empty - service was good but all seemed a bit scruffy to me - I had home made pie but a very small portion and I was disappointed - OK but not special

AMAZING....it is an understatement!

We popped in for lunch after a walk on Stockbridge Down. It's a very nice pub with an extensive menu of 'pub food' and specials board at reasonable prices. The food is well cooked and presented and service is good. If you need to walk off the calories, there's a nice walk by the river, nearby.

Fancied decent pub grub for my birthday meal and this was much better than that!

I had agreed to meet up with a friend for lunch, but the pub we chose was shut on Mondays so I looked on Tripadvisor and found the Royal Oak nearby. Turned out to be an excellent find; much better than the one we were originally going to have lunch in! The staff were welcoming, the pub was warm and surprisingly busy for a Monday morning in January. We had a coffee and then lunch and it was excellent throughout. Definitely will return.

Visited this beautiful family run pub earlier this week. Food was absolutely fantastic as was the service. Will definitely return very soon! Outstanding

We visited The Royal Oak for an early Christmas lunch with the extended family. Food, from the Christmas menu, was fantastic. The Baked Camembert was absolutely amazing!!

Some 20 of us had lunch at The Royal Oak, having pre-ordered all our meals. Prices are OK, the meals were served soon after we arrived, and there’s a good range of local beers. Try the Good Old Boy best Bitter from West Berkshire Brewery!

I organised a work birthday lunch here for a group of colleagues, one of whom was a vegan and normally doesn't feel comfortable eating out in pubs he doesn't know. Kate, the landlady was fantastic - she reassured him that she understands the requirements of veganism (including food preparation) and even handmade him some houmous because that was what he requested. Kate and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate all of us so much so we have now booked our Christmas meal here. Will definitely, happily organise work do's here from now on!

We took an elderly aunt to have lunch at The Royal Oak. We were greeted by bar staff and shown

We booked but it was a surprise which is just as well as we did because the place was packed....

We had Sunday lunch at this inn as we were visiting our grandson who lives in the area. Luckily, I...

Siempre una bienvenida fantástica, y una buena selección de platos en un típico pub país. Me gusta sentarme en el jardín, muy bien cuidado, tranquilo y grande!

Vinimos aquí un sábado almuerzo para celebrar un cumpleaños especial de la familia. Nos recibió un personal sonriente, quien rápidamente nos servían bebidas y nos dio los menús. El menú tenía una buena variedad de comida desde la comida de pub de gambas y patatas fritas establecido a la junta más experimentales especiales que incluía hare! Nuestro grupo tenía varios entrantes incluyendo whitebait stilton, setas y paté, que consiguió críticas favorables. Nuestro principal campos incluido el pescado y patatas fritas, gambas y patatas, pollo, tocino y relleno de pastel de pollo y patatas fritas y sidra. Hay muchos otros grandes platos pero desgraciadamente sólo nos podíamos comer una a cada uno! Ni siquiera tienen espacio para el postre.

Great ambience, food tasted brilliant, staff friendly and relaxed, cater for gluten free, vegetarian and caeliac which is fantastic. We had the hake and swordfish and it was delicious. Strongly recommend this pub to everyone to visit regularly. Also lovely garden to sit in through the summer months.

Lovely meal on the off chance while passing. Plenty of drinks to choose from. Nice menu but we both ordered fish from the special board and were very pleased. Could not fault a thing other then the locals that were cheating on the quiz opposite us.

Just returned from a very pleasant lunch at the Royal Oak. Pleasant staff, good service and good food served in their pleasant rural garden (the weather helps here). Thoroughly recommended.

I went here with a group of 10 walkers having had a good walk from Wherwell. We were asked whether we were ready for the food to be prepared and all of the meals appeared at the same time. The service was helpful and friendly. There was a good selection of beers and ciders.

Recently visited with family for a birthday..staff very welcoming and menu had a good range of food on offer. We went on a Wednesday which was quiz night but this wasn't a problem and we didn't feel like we was being rushed in any way. Food well cooked and reasonably priced, I will definitely be visiting again.

My son took us to this pub/restaurant for a treat, it is not too far from our home, Usually starts serving at 6.30pm so we arrived at 6pm as we like to eat early when it quieter, The Landlord was very welcoming and helpful, nothing too much trouble re our inquiries about food content, The food was really first class I had fish pie lovely ! could have done with a little bit more vegetables, all was cooked freshly and enjoyed our visit..

Arrived without booking, on a busy Sunday, for our first visit. All tables booked, but we were greeted really positively and offered a table with sofa by the fire. Lunch was a very good pub lunch, crunchy veg done just right, and service excellent. I wish I didn't live 90 miles away! Overall, I would say...Excellent.

We regularly eat here and have never been disappointed. Recently had the steak on the rosti potato - Oh goodness. Wonderful. The owners are part of the team ensuring standards are high, they interact with regulars and welcome all guests choosing to visit here. The area is wonderful. Worth a visit after a wander through the village, walk the riverside walk and then have lunch or an evening meal. The quiz evening is to be highly recommended, its like spending an evening with friends. Highly recommended.

Our group, more than 20, booked lunches in advance and found they were delivered fairly promptly. Everyone seemed happy with their meals. The pub was well-staffed and the drinks were reasonably priced. The 'Good Old Boys' best bitter was appreciated, in particular.

Four of us went for Sunday lunch. There was a good selection to choose from on the menu plus a specials board. Three of us chose various Sunday roasts but one of our party preferred Salmon which wasn't on the menu. The waiter kindly offered to ask if it was possible and it was. They provided a nice meal of salmon, new potatoes and veg - how obliging can that be? So if you don't see what you want it may be worth asking. The service was prompt and the food well presented and good temperature. The surroundings were traditional and there was a lovely log fire. A very pleasant Sunday lunchtime, thoroughly recommended.

Four of us went for dinner 3 nights ago. Three of us ordered Red Thai Beef Curry and the third Pheasant Madras. We were disappointed with the Red Thai to say the least. Having eaten Red Thai curry in several different Thai restaurants and cooked it myself I can honestly say this was a very different experience. The beef came in large lumps which was obviously previously cooked and warmed up. I had expected thin strips of beef freshly cooked. If there is one thing I absolutely hate it's reheated meat. Honestly how long does it take to flash fry a few thin strips of rump steak?! The red sauce was brown. No lemon grass just 4 pieces overcooked French bean and a sliced up red chilli was floating in the dark brown sauce. Strangely it was exactly the same colour and texture as the pheasant Madras in which the pheasant tasted very similar to beef. The prawn crackers which came with the Red Thai were just dropped on the side of the plate which meant they were getting very soggy in the sauce! And the fragrant sticky rice? (Not advertised but expected) was ordinary long grain rice. Really! If you're going to do curry then get it right!!! To be honest we didn't go for a curry but seeing it on the board fancied it straight away. Will we never learn! The Toffee Lumpy Bumpy cake which we ordered to take the taste away and cheer ourselves up? It was a unidentifiable mixture of sponge and a mousse like substance covered with what tasted like fondant icing, pale cream in colour and once swallowed lay like a piece of lead in your stomach. Toffee? I didn't taste any. The ice cream on the side was like half a scoop! We did not complain - same old story - we took guests and didn't want to embarrass them but instead we shall vote with our feet. Next time we fancy a curry we shall go where they know how to cook it. Get your act together Royal Oak - there's too much competition out there to risk giving your customers second best!

Arrive very early for an appointment so decided to stop in for a bite to eat. Internally the Royal Oak is a well kept country pub with nice chunky furniture. Clean and tidy. The free Wi-Fi signal is fantastic. I did struggle to find quick lunch food on the menu with the sandwich selection being quite small and salads limited. If I was eating out for an evening meal it would have been great though. The food arrived promptly and was rather tasty. I had the hot chicken and bacon sandwich with a side of chips. The tea was a rather nice cuppa too. The only downside is they did not tell me when I ordered my food they were shutting in an hour which was not enough time to get stuck into some work I only found out 5 mins after they actually shut at 2.30 when the light went off and I tried to order more tea. Nice friendly staff with a smile and good service.

Called in for lunch on a Monday, quiet, good welcome, good drinks. Had a ciabatta sandwich, all very nice. Full menu looked good, but we were only after a quick lunch stop. Recommend.

Very friendly landlord and the staff; the atmosphere welcoming. Always good for a drink and a snack. However, if you are looking for a tasty meal, you may find it slightly disappointing. Basic 'pub grab' on the menu rather than mouth watering dishes . Also, the quality of the food is just OK. Shame, as it used to be delicious when the current landlord took it over ...

Love this pub. Food fantastic landlord and landlady ace. All their staff are great. We love going there. Always mange to make room for us.
