"I have eaten here a few years ago , and had been very good . However this July I was taken here as a birthday treat . No idea what's happened , but it was not a good meal . We had the taster meal at £35 a head . The first dish looked like cat food and had no taste at all , the second a pasta dish that was hard and again no taste , then we beef (tough , with a very sharp jus not edible , the pudding , a custard type tart ,,, well the pasty was so hard and the custard was so runny . The service was ok , polite , but slightly forgetful . The wine was very good . I could have cooked a far better meal . It was extremely poor . We were a table of 6 and all of us said later we would not return . Sad as its been good in the past . I travel To Italy often , and eat proper Italian food fantastic taste and half the price of this restaurant ."

"A gem of a find! Really lovely pub with very good consideration for wheelchair users with access requirements the flagstone paths are in keeping with the pub aesthetic but level and easy in terms of access. No threshold through doorways so very easy. Staff were excellent and more attentive with their attention to detail than any restaurant I have been to in years, offering a different sized plate for me after noticing my limitations due to my disability even before serving. And the food was delicious everyone was very happy and all of the meals were well curated with excellent produce. I'll be back, and will recommend to everyone thank you! Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Quiet"

"We didn't expect the restaurant to be very busy on a weekday lunchtime, and indeed there were only a few customers scattered throughout the different dining areas. We liked looking at the wine selection, but unfortunately, one of us had driven so we couldn't indulge in more than one bottle. We ended up ordering our lunch dishes individually instead of getting everything at once, which may have affected the overall experience. While we generally like this place, the atmosphere and food didn't quite come together for us this time. It was decent and reasonably priced, but nothing special. Perhaps it's just a reflection of the current mood, lacking in positivity. Next time, we'll take the train and come with a lively group to really immerse ourselves in the experience."

"Went in for my birthday on 27th December. Very busy indeed. Great vibe, lovely pub. The service was impeccable by who I presume was the flamboyant owner. Very nice and attentive by all staff. Why 3 stars? I ordered the turkey pie. The flavours were excellent, although the parmesan mash was a bit skimpy and over processed (mash needs a bit of body to it). However, the main thing was the pie was essentially a soup--remove the pastry top and it was liquid underneath, with turkey floating in it. Once I had finished the pie, the bowl was still half full with liquid. Very odd indeed and simply should not be served from the kitchen My wife ordered the deep fried camembert salad. Again, this was an over mixed leaf salad where one could not taste the constituent parts (beetroot, tomatoes, walnuts etc) as they had all been mixed in and tossed in an over tart balsamic glaze. Keep leaves separate from other elements, and let the subtle elements speak for themselves. We had to drive for 40 mins, so likely wont come back as not special enough. However, if we lived nearer we def would. Suspect the above dishes were slight curveballs and I am being hard with the stars as a soup pie is unacceptable but I am sure the pub does excellent grub elsewhere and service was impeccable."

"Went in for lunch. I chose the vegetarian quiche (walnuts, stilton and leeks) which came with a salad of choice so I had the coleslaw. The salad turned out to be the best bit (delicious) as the quiche was overloaded with walnuts and little stilton and leeks so a bit tasteless. The pasty was soggy too. My husband had a baguette and that was really disappointing. Just by using decent bread from the bakery would have altered that it was a part baked baguette and not a decent portion so I ended up giving him some of my quiche. He didn't rate the quiche either! Staff were friendly and it was busy so it had some atmosphere."
