"We attended a memorial service for our friend yesterday and were very impressed with the changes that have been made at the restaurant since we hadn't visited in many years. The staff, especially the man serving us, were very friendly. The buffet was exceptional and we congratulate the restaurant on their outstanding food and drinks. Overall, we give the service a 5 out of 5 rating."

"We wanted to take my mother out for her birthday, but with my wife being vegan, we often struggle to find suitable options on pub menus. Additionally, we needed wheelchair access for my mother. We called the restaurant the day before and were assured that there would be vegan options and that access wouldn't be an issue. Upon arrival, we discovered that the staff had provided helpful ramps, making it much easier for my mother to move around. I want to extend a special thank you to all the staff. For those who use wheelchairs, they will find no friendlier place than this! The pub itself is beautiful, clean, and very child-friendly. There’s a lovely play area in the back that seemed to be quite popular. We were welcomed into the green room where a table was set up for us. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. We later learned that Julian, who took great care of us, was the manager. He was fantastic, even under pressure. Now, let’s talk about the food. This is classic British pub fare – not gourmet, but better for it and definitely a great value. My wife had the Monmouthshire baked dish and said it was absolutely delicious. I had stuffed red peppers that were spicy and packed with tasty ingredients like cashews and breadcrumbs, all served with thick chips that I usually don't enjoy, but these were perfect. My mother had a lamb dinner with Yorkshire pudding. We all agreed the portions were generous and each meal was thoroughly enjoyable. Just a little secret: we couldn’t resist dessert and ended up ordering the sticky toffee sponge pudding with custard, which we three thoroughly enjoyed. So thank you all – my mother had a lovely day, and we will definitely be returning soon. I highly recommend calling ahead. The level of service and friendliness was unmatched. They went above and beyond, with the chef accommodating my wife’s vegan needs, so a big thank you to the chef as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. Give them a call and go check it out!""

"absolutely loved it! came here last week. we went there for a meal after going for a walk with my partner and couldn’t have felt more at home! the staff were all so welcoming and the food was absolutely perfect! the wait for food flew by and felt like it had only been 2 minutes! me and my partner go for a lot of meals out and this has to be the best yet! couldnt have asked for anything more. Great food, great service and great drinks!!! lol This place felt like they worked as a family and not as just a work team. don’t have a bad word to say! the chef must’ve taken his time on the food considering it was absolutely spot on! Asked for some sauce and was given it within 5 seconds as well as being checked on many times to make make sure that we were all okay! It was an absolute lovely place to go to after a long walk, a nice drink and some food was just what we needed and were so glad we came here. Definitely recommend! definitely going back! I’ve posted this many time but trip advisor keeps on taking my reviews down but just wanted everyone to know how week looked after they will be here."

"This restaurant is perfect for enjoying a meal and drinks with friends. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are good. The children will also enjoy the food. I definitely recommend trying the homemade pizza, it was delicious! My friend and I shared the chicken tikka, jalapeño, and Hawaiian pizzas. The owner was very friendly and even let me suggest a chili pizza for next time. He mentioned they are open to all kinds of suggestions. He also showed me their wide selection of gins, I can't wait to come back and try a few."

"It was a wonderful happenstance. We were staying less than half a mile away from the pub, I called in to take a look on the way back to Ty-Cooke (lovely little certified location for caravans) and had a gander at the menu. I started chatting with the clientele who were very friendly and spoke highly of the pie and pint night on Wednesdays. On the strength of this, I booked a table for two, and I'm so glad I did. They had a good selection of beers and wines, so the better half and I were happy. I chose from the specials board and J from the menu. My beef bourguignon was superb, as was the bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with spinach and cream cheese, even the veg was outstanding, especially the red cabbage. Sadly, I was unable to finish it all as the portions were too generous for me, and I wanted to leave space for desert. The creme brulee with a cookie was truly excellent, as was the blackberry cheesecake, just how we both liked it. Not sweet but perfectly balanced with the fruit. We will be back to this location for a stay, and the food here is a major part of that decision. We had no right to expect such exemplary food without doing our research first, and it blew us away, and it wasn't expensive either. If you are in driving distance, you must give it a try, I can guarantee you will waddle away happy."
