This pub is absolutely lovely! and a very rare find even in these countryside surroundings,
It's worth reading the history about this pub, fascinating!
Cozy fire place, beautiful beer garden quality food, free parking, the staff are amazing.
If you like country walks then this is the perfect place to stop off for lunch, lovely countryside walks all around this area.
Will definitely return!
Delightful place. Staff were friendly, happy to interact naturally.
I thought the food was of decent quality, presented well and the beer was cold - exactly what i wanted on a hot day in their beer garden
Drove up from London,
First timer,
Great atmosphere
Very friendly staff
Really enjoyed my trio roast
As Arnie says
ILL BE BACK LOL
Friendly and attentive service with plenty of space between tables. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals; Duo of lamb, burger, lasagna and wood fired pizza. The chunky chips were very good and the deserts were delicious. Would definitely eat here again.
I had been on an errand with a Friend and his wife and we had passed the Crooked Chimney and had jokingly commentted, that it would have been a nice stop for a Sunday Lunch if we hadn't been passed Lunchtime already! On the way back from our successful endeavours we agreed that we should stop for a reward drink, and to take in the perceived picturesque ambiance, so we turned around and had our drink and took in, said Perceived ambiance. So it turned out that it was, as picturesque on the inside with a friendly service to match the warm atmosphere and interiors. So we enjoyed our drink, I enjoyed my portion of chunky chips and will certainly return for the Sunday Lunch!
Lovely roast dinner, roast potatoes were burnt but the waiter brought out a bowl full. Lovely friendly staff and a cosy place. My only criticism was it was dark when we left and there was no outside lights, we had a 73 year old with us and had to use the torch on our phones to lead the way to the car as she would have fallen
Lovely pub, pub garden & staff.
I ordered the halloumi fries which were v nice, however only received 6 in a dish which was a little disappointing for the price.
Loads of parking and we will return again in the future.
Great place! We took my mother in law for dinner. We sat in the bar, so ordered directly from there but the staff was so friendly and attentive. We had a pie, pork belly, and kedgeree cakes. All were delicious. I especially got a chuckle out of the name of the Prosecco: “bubble and squeak”. A wonderful atmosphere, great food and great service all made for a wonderful evening.
The chimney being it’s main feature this huge pub has so many rooms and a good outdoor garden. Only one hand pump beer… which is a shame.
Have not been here in years and todays visit did not disappoint.
All of the staff were lovely and attentive. Good range of drinks and food menu.
Will definitely go back.
