A nice place for a 'pub lunch' with friendly, attentive service. At the time of writing this review, the pub's website only showed a rather uninspired menu, but we were pleasantly surprised with the actual menu, which also included a number of appetising specials of the day.
I took two friends there for lunch, on a Friday. Lovely old building with lots of seating in the garden, some of it under cover, and a childrens play area. Fast and very friendly service, with great food. Nearby activities: We went on to visit Michelham Priory, which is only a couple of miles away. Delightful place to visit, with many centuries of history. Food & drinks: Very impressed with the food. Two of us had chicken and portobello mushroom pie, which came as a generous slice which was clearly home made, together with a selection of fresh vegetables and genuinely creamy mash. The third person had a large piece of fish with delicious chips and mushy pea. All was served quickly and piping hot, by attentive, friendly staff.
Came here for an Easter Sunday dinner, amazing service and amazing food. Probably the best roast dinner I have had! Will be coming here again!
Always have a lovely roast and the staff are very pleasant and efficient 10/10

A warm friendly pub. The meals were tasty beautifully presented. The staff., well turned out clean friendly and attentive as needed. Nothing too much trouble. Served with a smile.
We came for mother's day yesterday with our 4-year old daughter, and from the minute we stepped inside, the staff were all amazingly helpful and friendly, even though I can imagine it was a completely insane day for them. The food was also delicious, and we will definitely be back in the future. It was definitely one of the best pub roasts I've had in a very long time. The beef and the lamb we had were cooked to perfection, and they were very generious helpings of both meat and veg! The starters and desserts were also delicious, and with dessert, the staff were super accommodating as miss 4 years old heard me say I was going to have the apple crumble, so she wanted in on that too even though it wasn't on the kids menu. The staff were happy to help. I know I keep coming back to the staff, but they were truly brilliant and we never felt forgotten, even though it was super busy. A very well-oiled machine and I can't wait to come back!
Stopped here for lunch. Service was really friendly and professional. The food was reasonably priced and really very nice. It is on our list to visit again in the near future. By the way, whilst you are eating they also have an excellent range of beers on offer. Try to get seated by the fire, very cosy.
