We have heard that a new chef is just starting work here. Perhaps this explains our sorry excuse for a meal. For the record we have had several excellent if pricey meals at this restaurant. This meal was pricey but a million miles from excellent. There was a weird-tasting buttersquash soup oddly paired with a far from fresh hard pork pie apparently found in the freezer, a tiny square of cheese and a portion of chutney. Did they run out of bread? Apparently knives were also in short supply because we ended up sharing one between us. There was an oddly flavoured sausage roll type thing with almost raw cabbage, fried carrots in skins and a separate dish from which three lonely roast potatoes contemplated this culinary car crash - and which were the only pleasantly edible items. All this in a restaurant formerly well-regarded for its excellent home-grown vegetables. We felt ill afterwards. We noted during our visit although the gardens were quite busy with family visitors few of them chose to eat in the restaurant. We did wonder why - and now we know. Rosemoor is not a cheap day out and hard-pressed families are not going to add to the expense of visiting the gardens with a bad expensive meal. Other restaurants are available and sadly we can't consider coming back unless we see clear evidence of improvement in Tripadvisor reviews.

I love this pub! So friendly, you can talk to anyone in here, there is an everyday burger menu (the burgers are soooo good!) and then other pop up nights that are awesome too! Sonia, the landlady is super welcoming and loves to chat, this is a place where people go to interact with others, not just stare at their phones! Predominantly it’s a rugby pub, but they will put football on if asked. Other nights include pizza night, open mic, karaoke, live music and bands. There is a nice quiet beer garden out the back that has just had a lovely new decking installed. Well worth a visit if you are in high bickington, a proper country pub with friendly people!
