We had our dog with us and every member of the team made her welcome, starting with a friendly pat and a bowl of fresh water. This made it relaxing for us.
The service, food and ambiance were super. Special thanks to the chefs, the chocolate delice was excellent. Thank you.

What a lovely find! My Son and I decided to stop for lunch after a hospital appointment, and was pleasantly surprised.
The pub itself is a charming olde world building, with an interesting history scribed on the reverse of the mouthwatering menu. The delightful conservatory style restaurant, looks over the rose garden set with a large, central, stylish pond, and I feel sure this will look stunning in the summer months, as the sliding glass doors open fully onto an additional al fresco dining area.
The menu along with daily specials, and an impressive 2 or 3 course set menu was inviting.
MY son chose whitebait to start, followed with massaman curry with chicken, chickpeas, sweet potatoes and spinach, which he devoured. As a lightweight, I only had a main course of Fresh Cod served on a herb potato cake, surrounded by crushed peas and a tartar dressing, it was superb! All washed down with a glass French malbec.
The staff were polite and courteous and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an absolute must if youre in the area.

My friend and I were staying locally and found this pub, so glad we did.
Fab welcome followed by attentive but not intrusive service and delicious food.
Would definitely visit if I'm in the area again.
A great find.

Cannot fault this place. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and well presented. All of the staff were the right level of attentive, engaging and polite. The atmosphere was great and the decor well chosen. I especially liked the audio from Blackadder playing in the toilets.
If you have a chance to go here, do not pass it up.

Went for a Christmas meal and had the vegetarian option which wasn't great. A whole bowl of lentils and a slice of cauliflower on top with some dahl source and was bad for the stomach the next day. I would say the sticky toffee pudding was brilliant though.

The atmosphere and location are lovely. The food is a simple menu so I expected the dishes to be done exceptionally well but sadly the massaman wasn't much better than a Vesta curry and the starters just lacked for class.

Joe was absolutely fabulous, such a lovely man and added to our experience completely. Very knowledgeable about the menu and always served with a smile. Could not recommend the Tickell or Joe enough!

I gave 5 stars to atmosphere as I did only visited place for the "pint" with my colleagues.
We done it in a early evening, was a lot of sun...
I wouldn't mind to have more of the big umbrellas for the table, actually. Member of staff were collecting empty glasses (thanks! ).
We were sitting in the garden. However, there are couple of tables in front of the building and I'd personally prefer to occupy those tables ...there's more cozy.

Just had the braised beef, let's just say I had a knife, but didn't need it in the slightest! Absolutely delicious 👍

Friendly staff throughout. Some interesting beers on tap! Every dish was well prepared, flavoursome and reasonable value given the ever increasing cost of eating out.

Sad to be leaving this review since we have been regulars for the last 5 years. We have had quite a few bad experiences recently, but the last one has been dreadful. Service terribly slow or inexistent and food completed flavourless and raw, had to be returned to the kitchen.

Delightful lunch with friends! We have cycled past many times and finally made it! The staff were thoughtful and helpful, seemed unrushed (they were busy) and we weren't pressed to leave. The surroundings are lovely as is the food. The fishcake was simply gorgeous, as was the cheesecake. I can't wait to return for an evening meal or Sunday lunch!
Update : Since the above we've returned several times and not been disappointed! Last night was another lovely meal. The blade of beef being a highlight. Not much on the menu for a vegetarian, with 4/7 items on the mains section being beef.

Very tasty Sunday roast, with the option for a gluten free roast and quite a few gluten free desserts to choose from as well.

Walked up from Holiday Inn Express. Entered and it wasn’t busy a few locals at one end of the bar but bereft of staff. After 5 mins or so I asked a local if they had seen any staff and the reply was ‘yeah they’re about’ ok waited another few mins and a chap appeared at the side of the bar and seemed ‘busy’ shuffling menus. He has seen me but didn’t acknowledge at all, so I turned and left. My advice is no to bother and go somewhere else at least you will get served. If it was possible to give a zero rating I would

Delicious food pub. All layed up for dinner. Cod was perfect. Staff and service is exceptional. Would like to go back for lunch, grounds look intriguing.
Minors, the chiar I had was v uncomfortable, swapped with my son who said the same. And for a foodie place, was surprised the table was layed incorrectly, side plates were on the left. Limited menu for vegetarians (1 main).
