"with my friend written on a september Saturday, in the middle of a short break in the cotswolds. very warm and friendly greeting from barman / renter and maid serve (berry we have no names! , especially from the pub-dog molly. nice to see a detached house still, with a few good hand pumps ales on (I had the lamb bitter together with a decent selection of gas cocks. decoration and feeling creates the seemingly popular 'shabby chic'/pseudo old world country style with mixed / interesting used furniture and right (for me! 'classical pub' feeling. I'm not a big fan of pubs to Gastro/Faux land to be more city/city and new (ish country types, but then I got on 'proper' rural/empty from nowhere to kneipen with mud on the floors, no heating and gents loos at least 3 fields away, so that the lamb good to move with the times and still keep me happy to go? it is a hard business and people, including bar and waiting staff, need to make a living. sae in superdog friendly multi-level gardens, and some people just there for a few drinks, so good to see a mix of drink and eater welcome. I had the 'cracked pork' burger, the super tasty pork was a crispy peking style, my partner a generous caesar salat with excellent sardels. all in, a crisp independent old pub in a beautiful village, give a warm and friendly welcome to the trade as well as local, catering for walkers and dogs in an attractively furnished pub served right beer and really good eating. if something could be improved, a few lighter, simple items like a traditional ploughman 's or a few sandwiches on the lunch menu I would surely go down a storm, especially for walker/cycists, but everything in big things long can be successful!"
