"Came to this specific place for an early Father’s Day celebration. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Both bartenders Amy Emily were incredible. We had booked a bottomless brunch session and they could not have been more attentive and friendly. Food came out in exceptionally quick time and couldn’t have tasted better. Both Amy Emily regularly checked if we needed top ups for our drinks and provided us with that homely welcome. Overall incredible staff, impeccable food and for a very reasonable price."

"This pub is a gem with a charming beer garden out back. They offer a great selection of delicious real ales and the food is top-notch. The atmosphere is always lively but in a positive way. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a couple of pints and a snack with friends or a date. The only downside is the slightly higher beer prices, but unfortunately, the added COVID tax seems to be the norm these days."

"We have visited this pub a few times as a meeting point with friends. It has been okay in the past, but our recent experience was very disappointing. Upon arrival, we were told to wait at the reception desk, but no one attended to us. Eventually, a staff member rudely called us up to the bar and pointed out our table (rather than escorting us there). The service was slow and inefficient, making us feel like a burden. Staff members were seen chatting at the bar, paying little attention to the customers. Our wine was brought to us late, only halfway through our meal after repeated reminders. Dessert also took 35 minutes to arrive after we had requested it multiple times. The curry that my husband and I ordered was bland and featured undercooked chicken. Overall, it was an extremely disappointing experience."

"My disabled wife and I, oh yes and our cat, having been driving our motorhome for a few hours just happened across the lovely looking place, with a large flat car park. We pulled in on spec for a drink and as us motorhomers do, ask about staying overnight. We fully understand and respect either a yes or no. I opened the do of our van, for some unknown reason our cat decided she would jump out first, something she has never done before, and without hesitation headed straight into the bramble bushes next to where we had parked. This cat as any animal lover can understand is our soul mate. Straight away we tried to call, offer treats etc, but not a sound or sight. Anyway I wandered over to the bar area leaving my wife by the vehicle calling the cat. Firstly I bought two drinks, then asked the chap behind the bar about staying overnight. No came straight back, it's an insurance thing. Fair enough, oh but our cat has just gone missing so we may be here a while. Back to the van with the drinks, by now my tearful wife was getting more distressed. So I, we wandered back and forth, around this field area calling, shaking treats, still nothing. One or two walkers were very helpful in taking our number incase they saw her, suggested reporting it to the local vet as she is chipped, which we did. My wife's mantra had become we're not going anywhere without her. Good hour later, I went back into the bar to buy another drink. Different person said if it was up to them, we could stay, obviously them knowing the cat was still missing. Back to the van. So I began walking further afield, leaving my wife at the van. I was gone a good hour when my wife phoned to say the cat had returned. Overjoyed. Back to the van. Now here's the reason for the review. Whilst I'd been away, a person presumably the landlord had spoken to my wife and threatened that as we had been in the car park for more than 3 hours the pubs open all day) he would be calling the police and get us clamped unless we moved within the next half hour. My wife was in tears. I will say fortunately for him the cat returned, because otherwise he could have started ww3 so far as I'm concerned, but we we would have stayed put. Thank you The Sun ,Lydiard for your understanding and compassion. Whether or not this review puts any of your prospective new customers off, I don't care. WE WON'T BE BACK"

"Do not go here please. The food is awful and inedible. We had food poisoning after a meal here and usually we never feel poorly after a meal. The service was just not excellent the owner claimed the aircon was due to be fixed and turned it off when a waiter had switched on for us. Coke drinks were very warm and no ice was offered. We asked for ice that came after we nearly finished the drinks. The spinach meal we had tasted like it had been made a few days ago after a mouthful we didn’t eat that as for the meal only the chef and the Lord know what we ate. Please honestly go across the road to Ganges stay well clear!"
