Been here a couple of times now once for dinner and more recently for lunch. Food every time has been amazing! The meat just fell off the bones for the ribs and the coleslaw was Devine! Only thing I would say is my husband had the pork belly and was not advised it didn’t come with any vegetables. But of a let down just have pork and mash on it own. The biscoff cheesecake through was another level! I wanted to take it all home! The Maltesers desert off the specials was nice but tiny for the price compared to the size of the cheesecake. Service was brilliant and we felt very looked after. Would highly recommend.

An unassuming place from the roadside but outstanding once in! From the inviting pub facade to the generous portions, this spot truly is about quality. Indulge in the delightful bread board or the perfect pork crackling; starters may seem unnecessary. The latte is a definite must-try. While the sides come at an extra cost, the Homemade Fish Pie and The Lion's Homemade Pie were an absolute delight, easily ranking among the best we've ever had. The service strikes a seamless balance - attentive and professional. The cozy ambiance is perfect for some Instagram-worthy shots. Remember, the kitchen starts taking orders at 12, but the wait is worth it. Consider arriving early or booking in advance on their website. Ample parking is an added bonus. Our bill for two amounted to approximately £65, excluding the tip. Already looking forward to our next visit for another delightful experience!

A friend recommended this inn for lunch. We visited about 3 weeks ago and enjoyed a lovely lunch in a great outdoor setting. My husband is disabled and in a wheelchair and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Great friendly service. Although we live 15 miles away we will return.

Drove past this pub regularly decade's ago when it was quite run down. Over the years it's expanded and upgraded. Had the opportunity for 12 of us to celebrate a 90th birthday today and it's superb inside. Very busy but still the food and service was excellent. Will go again.... very soon.

We stumbled across here lunch after a walk at paperlock mill. The food was amazing and the decoration/restaurant was lovely and themed very well. At first thought we were going to a random pub but this is much more than that. More of a very nice restaurant/bar. The food was delicious, the best ribs I have ever had and my other half loved the pie!

Great place for families and groups wanting to get together for a meal. Reasonably priced food although a pint can cost over £6. You can even eat outside when the weather is good in the court yard..

Best man at my mates wedding and would highly recommend. The hotel, function room, buffet and hotel rooms are brilliant.
My only complaint is the breakfast wasn't particularly good and vegetarians/vegans are not catered for very well as there was little or no choice but don't let that put you off.

Had our first visit here for lunch with my wife. We both loved this place.
Super welcome and service from their friendly staff.
Food was fantastic with a swift service and reasonable prices too!!
The atmosphere was great, vibrant and bustling with lots of people enjoying themselves.
If you’re a bit of a grumpy sod probably not the place for you; if however you are more fun filled you will love this place and like us will want to return as soon as possible.
10/10, see you soon!!
