Tried the Gardeners Afternoon Tea. Sandwiches, scones, cakes - the spread was huge. Honestly, for what you pay, the portion size is really generous. Left feeling very full, which is always a good sign.

A proper country pub with a great beer selection. The veggie breakfast with grilled halloumi was spot on, and the chef clearly knows his stuff. The bedroom was quiet and the bed comfy. My only quibble? The wine list felt a bit limited for a place with such good food.

Been coming here for years. The braised steak pie is always spot on, proper gravy and the chips are decent. Menu&#39;s got enough choice without being fussy. Staff are quick and know their regulars.

A cosy little pub. The chicken platter was a real surprise &ndash; so pretty on the plate and cooked just right. Flavours were spot on. A proper treat.

The lunch menu&#39;s about a tenner. Good portion size for that. The lamb shank was the thing. Meat fell off the bone, gravy was rich. Came out quick, which was fine by me.

Stayed for a couple of nights. The room was clean and comfortable. The lounge area attached to it was a nice surprise, quite spacious. It was fine for a short stay, though the decor felt a bit dated.

Staff are super friendly here, really makes you feel welcome. Good selection of beers and spirits. Perfect for a quick pint after work.

Walked in without a booking and got a table straight away. The staff were so friendly and relaxed, really made the evening.

The steak pie was pretty good, nice and tender. The burger was fine too, homemade and decently sized. Service was polite and attentive. Prices felt reasonable for what you get.

Been coming here for years, staff are always friendly and efficient. Got my usual takeaway today, ready in no time. They remember regulars, makes a difference.

The fish was lovely and fresh. Skin had a nice crisp. I asked for the tagliatelle without the chillies, and the sauce was still warm and flavourful. Appreciated that they could adjust it easily.

Managed to get a table on a busy Saturday night, which was a relief. The calzone and chips were good for the price.

Solid chicken pie, quality ingredients. The sourdough was warm and good. Service was efficient, got the bill quickly when we were done. Convenient for a quick business lunch near the office.

Been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. The staff always remembers us, even on busy nights. Food&rsquo;s just as good as the first time.

Good variety on the menu, our whole table was happy. Food came out fast and tasted proper. It&rsquo;s got more character than your average chain place.

Found this spot tucked away. Bench seating was surprisingly comfy. Music had that old-school, chill vibe. Just right for a quiet lunch.

The restaurant has a great ambiance, perfect for a night out. The lamb shank was to die for, and the overall experience was delightful.

The staff were really friendly and helped us pick a wine. We had a lovely bottle of red that went perfectly with our food. The whole place just felt welcoming and clean, which made for a nice, relaxed evening.

The Belgian beer selection is impressive, but I really appreciated the fresh, crisp salad options on the menu.

A lovely spot to get some work done. The garden out back is a peaceful spot to sit, and the staff are very friendly. My only note is that the chairs could be a bit more comfortable for a longer stay.

Popped in for a late lunch. The Yorkshire pud and beef was huge, packed with meat. The real star was the rotating cask ale - a lovely malty one that cut through the rich gravy perfectly. Just a bit chilly by the window.

Been coming here for years. The linguine with tuna and prawns is always spot on, never disappoints. Generous portion too, leaves me happily full every time. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Chris was brilliant on a packed Saturday. We showed up without a booking, and he just made it work with such a friendly, calm vibe. Really appreciated that.

The chicken combo is a lot of food for the money, we had leftovers. I really appreciated how fresh the salad greens were, crisp and vibrant. The grilled chicken itself was nicely seasoned, not dry at all. A good, filling option if you&#39;re watching your budget but still want a decent meal.

The chicken parmo was massive, took up the whole plate! Had to box half of it. Staff were lovely though, really nice vibe in there.

Came here with a few friends and the pizza was a hit! The base is so thin and crispy, just how I like it. Portions are big, we ended up sharing a couple and still had leftovers. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

Lovely village pub, perfect for a sunny afternoon in the garden. Had the fish and chips, which was decent. The real star was the local ale they had on tap &ndash; a crisp, hoppy number that paired brilliantly with the food. Just wish they had a few more options by the glass.

Great spot to bring friends (and dogs!). The carvery is as good as they say, and the staff were super welcoming.
