One of the last true pubs surviving, great beer good food and friendly locals. Also one of the best views about in the garden. Hidden gem of a pub

Great beer selection, reasonably priced with friendly bar staff. Classic English pub food menu! Cricket is regularly played on the tv, so if your looking for a spot to watch the cricket, this place is a safe bet. Great experience all round.

Booked for Sunday lunch. Excellent value and food good. Had roast lamb and there was plenty of meat and gravy. Traditional old English pub with garden and paddock area so dogs would love it here. It’s a treehouse too and staff very friendly.

The most welcoming and friendly pub I have ever been too, and I've been to a few! Great banter from the locals, superb landlord, lovely rural setting, nice outside garden, excellent pub food ( big portions) at such a great price, what u waiting for? Highly recommend

Wandered in for a drink to find a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We didn't try the food but it had a good menu with some old favourites like Liver & Bacon on there. We went on a Monday evening and it was quiet apart from some friendly regulars. It was great to be able to go to a pub and fall into interesting conversations with people you were meeting for the first time. It's been years since we have done that. Will definitely go back.

Got invited here just a couple of weeks ago, & I don't drink anymore, but its lovely country pub. Very polite, welcoming friendly staff. Very dog friendly, which is why i took up the invite. Had food there on the second visit, lovely meal, my partner loved hers too. My only nag is alcohol free lager is so dear, but that's everywhere, as it's only sold by the half pint bottle.
Gripe over 😄 go & pay them a visit.

The folks who run the pub and the patrons were such nice people. The beer was good as was the food. Massive portions, great value for money. The pub shows live sports. Most of the people at the pub seemed to be regulars, and understandably so. Did meet Teddy, the publican' s dog!
