Ales are kept well, the upkeep is great, and the pizza was genuinely top notch

Honestly quite shocked how the cook talks to people, shouting at someone in full view and hearing of everyone telling them to use old potatoes, swearing away at his staff and calling them idiots. Table was absolutely filthy, really gone downhill.

Fantastic fish and chips - we ordered and paid online (easy and completely hassle-free) and we arrived a few minutes early and our order was made up there and then. The fish is really fresh and it has been cooked in fresh, clean oil, which allows you to taste all the flavour of the fish. And the chips are great, too!

First time we went the toasties were brilliant, since then we have tried to go in on 3 different Sundays with family in which they have not had gluten free bread. Unfortunately we won’t be returning anymore, allergies should be catered for throughout everyday of the week 😞

fantastic location set in the heart of the village this pub offers a friendly welcome from the staff and landlord gary, a nice wide selection of beers with 2 guest ales on all the time food was great value and did exactly was it was intended for pub grub will return

Booked table, but was a little late due to the massages in the spa being delayed. However, the spa did call them to let them know we would be running late & this was not a problem. We sat in the lovely sunny patio & enjoyed our lovely food with copious amounts of tea. Great service, atmosphere & food.

A casual night out in friendly pestered by the locals bar staff did nothing to stop this shame really

We went in at about 3.30 for afternoon tea. I asked for a gluten-free cake, and was offered apple pie. It looked and tasted delicious, an open pie, with a layer of crème patissiere below the apple, and then a thin layer of sponge and then finally, a layer of caramel. There wasn’t too much sugar in the lower layers, to counteract the sweetness of the caramel - classy patisserie! I was offered cream to go with it, and I regret not going for the full, indulgent experience. We’ll be going back!

Booked at the last minute and they could not have been more helpful with our 2 yr old and the 8 in the group. All the food was cooked fresh and we were all totally happy with everything.

Visited Saturday afternoon for a cold drink and scone. Wanted to sit outside as it was such a nice afternoon. The only free table was literally stacked with dirty plates,glasses,cups,cans. I went inside and although the entire place was empty EVERY table was also stacked with dirty crockery!! Half eaten meals,flies everywhere. One of the tables outside became vacant so I ordered my coke and scone and asked that the table be cleared.. A very reluctant lad came out and cleared the debris,didn’t bother to wipe the spilt salt,ketchup and general mess up. Another customer was loading dirty plates from her table onto another but still nobody bothered to clear up. My scone came out like molten rock,it had clearly been zapped too long in the microwave. When it had cooled down enough to hold I tried to cut the scone,it was rock hard. By this time the staff were out enjoying the chaos that was happening in the grounds of the cathedral and clearly weren’t interested in customers. Definitely won’t be returning,the whole place was dirty.

First time visiting here and the food was absolutely delicious, could not fault it. Enjoyed a 3 course dinner. The service was second to none, very friendly and attentive. Will most certainly be returning again. Highly recommend a visit.

Yikes. Looked good, ordered two sandwiches to go which I thought were pricy at £8 EACH. Tried to charge me £18. Where I come from 2x8=16 but the lady said 'well thats what it says on the screen'. Genius, I bet NASA want her back when she's finished at the Café. The supposed 'country cheddar and ale chutney' was in fact wholesaler grated cheddar and a tiny scraping of nondescript chutney. These offerings made Greggs cheese and pickle taste like gourmet crafted treats. Came with a bag of crips, the choices were salted or salt and vinegar. No other flavour exists. Confused staff, over priced, overrated. Not everyone is an American tourist folks!

Lovely meal in a magical location. From the canapés in the bar to the dinner it was a real treat. Highly recommend. Wendy and her team are really making an impact.
