We turned up as a family of four for Sunday Lunch and despite being fully booked, the staff managed to find a way of accommodating us. All staff were very friendly and attentive throughout. The food was excellent; good quality produce;portion sizes were good and the kids menu was extensive enough to satisfy a 6 year old and a 3 year old! All in all, a very pleasant experience and I would thoroughly recommend but you’ll probably need to book on a Sunday lunchtime.
Just had a works christmas meal here and the food was just like you would have cooked and enjoyed at home and the service was lovely. Great to have a local pub that has a separate comprehensive gluten free menu . Thank you
Great atmosphere in this pub. We I didn't have a booking for Friday night, but I still got a table. Great tasty food, speedy service, and reasonable prices. Strawberry parfait was just heavenly tasty.
Lovely interior and dog friendly 😀 👍
We rocked up without reservations on Sunday, late afternoon. We were greeted and the host checked the reservation list to see if there were any gaps that we could possibly fit into. No luck, however, we were told that if there was room outside on the patio we could take our chances, given the rainy weather.
There was an empty table which we gratefully occupied.
Food and drinks were ordered at the bar. We enjoyed zero alcohol lager and a beer while we waited for our food: vegan burger and a regular roast dinner.
The food came out surprisingly quickly, given how busy they were. Generous portions and delicious.
The staff were friendly and courteous and tables that emptied were cleared quickly.
It was a very pleasant experience. Next time we will plan our visit and make sure we have reservations.
Excellent from start to finish it was our sons birthday 🎂 🥳 and it was his choice... WOTTA CALL.... the food was amazing (and I am an ex chef) so trust me if was below my expectations they would not be getting thus review.... however that was not the case the whole experience from the food to the service ... well they nailed.. and we will be going back... gd job 🙌
I’ve driven past this pub on my way from Swindon to Marlborough many times over the past 20 years but for some reason or other had never gone in. Today however I went in with my wife and am now kicking myself for not trying it earlier.
As this was Monday midday I didn’t have a reservation and in fact thought we’d have the place to ourselves. Although we were only the second occupied table it began to fill up rapidly and the phone rang almost constantly with people making reservations. Soo…..recommendation number one BOOK IN ADVANCE!
As regards the food I’d already made my mind up before I went in as I’d heard about their fish and chips. I wasn’t disappointed either as it was one of the freshest pieces of fish I’ve had in a while and having grown up in a seaside town; I know what I’m talking about! So recommendation number two TRY THE FISH & CHIPS!
The service and the pub itself were very good also so I’ll leave you with recommendation number three… GO THERE AND TRY IT FOR YOURSELF
Food and staff were nice. Not had fagots for years but local butcher's ones, Champ and red cabbage were lovely.
Had the best meal ever tonight! The bacon & maple syrup scotch egg was just amazing, so flavoursome! & the T-bone was super tasty too. Great service as always.
What a surprise! I expected it to be bog standard but the food was incredible. Nicely busy, dogs welcome, perfect food - what more could you want
Great menu choices including vegetarian and vegan options. Some creative choices including a range of specials. Delicious food. Friendly service. Dog friendly. Toilet kept clean. Parking adjacent. I really like this place!
Portion sizes were good. The potatoes were not perfectly cooked, but still edible. The meat was tender, the gravy was good. The cauli cheese and veg was honestly too much for two people, despite being delicious, so sadly much went uneaten. The ambience and setting is quaint, dogs are welcome and the staff are friendly.
The bill came to £85 for two people: starters, drinks and mains.
7.5/10
Went to this restaurant because it had a high rating which it fully deserves. Very friendly service, good menu and delicious food. Chocolate and orange tart is de-lish.
