Ambience was nice, food was top notch. Service was a little slow as it was a Friday night and being quite popular they were very busy but we were pleased that they could fit us in for dinner at such short notice and we were more than happy to take our time and enjoy the evening out without feeling rushed. It made a nice change to have a longer pause in-between courses whilst enjoying company and the pleasant surroundings. The panzanella burrata starter was one of the best I have eaten and the tenderstem/gochujang fritter for main course was incredible, rich with flavours and very filling. Loved the cocktail bar, really pretty and cosy place to sit and the cocktails were very nice too! If we are in the area again we will most definitely visit again.

I only moved to the area last year and I was recommended to to this lovely pub and its staff who served me with the best modules mariniere I have had outside France. So, imagine my disappointment when Spring arrived and modules disappeared from the summer menu may- although their pub staple of ham, egg and chips was high class. Last week I met with friends to try the 2024 winter menu. The ham, egg and chips were as good as ever and the cider battered haddock was enjoyed but the modules topped them both. Sweet shallots, garlic and white wine bathed the plump mussels set,off by a topping of parsley. The chef managed to get a wonderful depth of sweet flavour to the dish which came in both starter and main dish sizes.. The service was as friendly as ever and the beer is well kept. Thank you.

Was meeting for a work reunion, 10 of us in the end after a couple of cancellations. Had to pre-pay £10 each, which seemed a little steep. Once arrived and sat, drink orders were taken. Oddly, before getting drinks, our food arrived after we had to pre-order our food. This was about 10 minutes after we sat down. We were an early booking and understand prepping, but the food had clearly been pre-cooked. Chips were hot, but not crispy. Sweet potato ones were very dark in colour, edging on burnt. Mine tasted ok, but one of my friends noted some of hers tasted burnt. They were at least homemade. Burger itself was very underwhelming. What seemed like a bought in patty, bog standard bun, with harissa mayo that was not strong in flavour. Accompanied by a bit of little gem lettuce. All tasted ok, but very basic for the price of £15.95. Overall, most of us were underwhelmed and although not bad, would not be returning. I have no issue paying out for food, but expect good quality and mostly homemade if charging that price. It was not busy and most of us had burgers, so should not have been an issue to prep fresh and allow us to actually sit and relax ahead of eating. Overall just disappointing. Felt like overpriced fast food.

More style and price, than substance. Lovely setting, beautiful rambling walled garden with posh servers. But the restaurant food can be really bad! Bean dip (but called something much more lyrical, which I forget) was tasteless/ bland. Even I can just liquidise a tin of beans, and burn a carrot, but I season them properly and do expect much more for the prices. Much is made of local suppliers, and the meat dishes always seem to get better comments from my friends. The veggie food and deserts are expensive and not tasty, original or quality. If you are happy paying highly for meaty food, in a unique setting, then feel free. But I would avoid veggie and vegan (and probably the deserts).
