The steak and kidney pudding was a proper cosy pub classic. Perfect for a catch-up with mates on a chilly evening.

Clyde the dog is a lovely touch, makes the place feel really welcoming. But honestly, the portion sizes for the price? A bit on the small side. My fish and chips was tasty, just left me wanting a bit more.

As a non-student, I was really pleased with my lunch here. The food was cooked well and looked lovely on the plate. The best part was the price&mdash;it felt like a proper meal without the usual cost. A very comfortable spot for a quiet, easy lunch.

Solid spot for a post-work pint. The Abbot Ale was spot on and reasonably priced. Good range of real ales on tap too. Service was efficient, got my order sorted quickly.

The garlic naan here was the star. Really crispy, not soggy like you sometimes get. For the price, I was expecting maybe two pieces, but it was just one decent-sized one. Still, the flavour was spot on.

The staff here always seem genuinely happy, which is nice. It makes the whole place feel more relaxed. Food always arrives hot, too. For the price, it&#39;s a solid spot.

Been coming here for years. Booked for a big group on a packed Saturday night. They handled it all without a fuss, service was still spot-on even when the place was heaving. Food&#39;s always reliable.

Sunday roast was spot on, the gravy had this rich depth to it. Just a really solid, comforting meal for a lazy afternoon. Staff were lovely and attentive.

Been coming here for years, and the mussels starter is why. Always spot on. Grabbed a table in the marquee last Friday&mdash;it&#39;s a good setup for busy nights, even if it gets a bit draughty sometimes.

I chose the Hedgehog as I wasn&#39;t from around the area and was going on a date. I saw previous ratings and thought it looked beautiful. It was, It was a perfect relaxed setting with lots of character. I cant wait to come back, especially in the summer as the grounds looked lovely. Thank you for a service we had a wonderful time. We will definately be returning. Staff were extremely polite and attentive, Food was beautiful, Great prices, I downloaded the app so I was lucky enough to receive 50% off mains. Thank you.

Been coming here for a while. The portions are reliably large - my partner and I can easily share a main and one side dish. It&#39;s a practical option for a straightforward meal.

Came with a big group and they handled us really well. The staff didn&rsquo;t seem flustered at all, which made the whole thing relaxed. Everyone got their food without any fuss.

The side ramp is a nice touch for accessibility. The parking is easy, but you do have to remember to register your car at the front desk when you arrive, or you&#39;ll get a ticket.

Nice spot for a business lunch. The historic building and rustic decor make for a pleasant, low-pressure environment. Service was efficient, got us in and out within the hour. Food was decent, nothing spectacular but did the job. Convenient location near the office.

Popped in for a quick lunch, the place was packed. Staff were really on it though, got my order sorted fast and checked in without being pushy. Made a busy visit feel easy.

Nice spot for a sunny afternoon pint. Sat out front watching the world go by. They had a guy playing acoustic guitar later on, which was a nice surprise. The back area by the little pond is quieter if that&#39;s more your thing.

Tandoori king prawns were spot on. Staff were really welcoming too, a nice surprise near the airport.

The ingredients tasted so fresh, you could tell they were carefully sourced. Really appreciated the relaxed pace, it let us enjoy the evening.

Asked for a quiet table with easy access, and got exactly that!The staff were welcoming and helpful and the food was a very good standard and generous portions.

Loved the old beams and traditional decor. Such a cosy spot for a quiet drink.

Booked for a big group birthday (18 of us!) with a pre-order. Everything came out so fast, which was perfect when you&#39;re trying to catch up with everyone. Luke at the bar was a legend, kept the whole table laughing. Made the night easy.

Came for a birthday dinner. They brought out a small cake with a card, which was a nice surprise. Honestly, the gesture was lovely, but the main courses themselves felt a bit small for the price you pay.

Proper little backstreet local, exactly what you want. Cozy, friendly vibe and they&#39;re happy to have dogs in. The jukebox is a great touch, had a good laugh picking tunes. Just a really nice, unpretentious spot for a pint.

Ordered delivery last week. Food was still hot and tasted just like eating at the restaurant. The guy who dropped it off was really nice.

Decent cheesecake but the jerk chicken and ribs were a letdown. The Thursday freebie is a nice touch though.
