Lovely quiet almost rural location . Room smelt slightly damp on arrival ...shower weak & warm ...also could not see any extractor fan . Heating too hot and difficult to turn down. Double bed was two singles pushed together with a double mattress. Very clean & tidy room and hotel generally. Staff polite friendly efficient . Superb breakfast .

A delightful pub set in a picturesque setting overlooking a cricket field, the food itself was very nice but the service was terrible. The staff seemed quite uninterested and there wasn’t any interaction. There didn’t seem to be anyone who was in control, the food order came and a few things were wrong. It took ages to get a drink, we had to get up and ask to be served, we then had to get up again and ask for cutlery and then desserts took an eternity to arrive. It didn’t seem that busy at all so I don’t understand how they could get it so wrong for us.

A good spot for lunch, particularly in the summer. Food pretty good and staff friendly. A dog-friendly pub.

Away for two nights with friends. The pub was lovely. Very welcoming. The food was amazing and service was good. Izzy was very helpful. She was amazing. Our room was lovely although the bathroom was a bit tired. Could do with a revamp. We had a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful couple of days here. Food was exceptional, so much effort must go into the selection of the ingredients and then to deliver truly delicious food. From breakfast to dinner,superb. On the staff front , I cannot fault them. Young , energetic and so pleasant. Particularly want to thank Georgia, and Izzy along with the numerous others whose name's I didn't get ,but they all made the experience fantastic. Highly highly recommend

Fabulous food, excellent beer (Timothy Taylor & London Pride etc!). What a great find, exactly what I was looking for; local English country pub.

We ate at the restaurant for dinner and it was amazing. In our group we had vegan and omnivore eaters, and each person absolutely loved their entree. They had multiple dishes that could be made vegan! We started with the homemade focaccia, and then enjoyed the fish and chips, roasted vegetable risotto, and the feta pie. Also shared a side of the roasted red cabbage with honey. The food was awesome. Plus the pub was dog friendly, and we were greeted by a sweet dog and local family who were very sweet and welcoming. This was definitely one of our favorite meals while traveling through the countryside as foreigners. Highly recommend!

I chose to have my Birthday meal with my family here, (including my elderly barky Chi), and I couldn't be happier. Atmosphere was lovely and friendly, I even got 2 wonderful Birthday hugs from the guy who greeted and seated us, (sorry, I didn't catch his name). Food was served quickly and was delicious. We'll definitely be going again. I would highly recommend this place.

We stopped here for a meal, with our large dog, as it was about half way on our journey to Norfolk. We also stopped on the way back as we were impressed the first time round. As before, staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was very good. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed our meal. I had the Pork Belly (previously I had Pan Fried Salmon), and my husband had Chilli Beef Wrap (previously he had Fish & Chips). Desert, both times, was Flourless Chocolate Cake, and Sorbet. It is a lovely location as we took our dog for a short walk before resuming our journey. First time we visited there was a cricket match on, the second time there was a dog show and family fun day.

The pub staff were friendly and venue perfect for indoor out. I and 9 others plus a puppy eat outside and I can highly recommend The fish 🐟 and chips. It has a large open field and cricket gounds

This was a cute little pub with nice staff, however it wasn’t very clean for my visit. There were dead spiders in the shower and the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied unfortunately since the previous occupant. However the food was good and breakfast was lovely. Would have preferred some fresh fruit at breakfast.

Great traditional British pub inn, very dog friendly, evening meal was great we sat outside on a beautiful evening, village is typical British with village green and cricket. Staff helpful. Breakfast ok, no fresh fruit or croissants. Excellent overnight stay for price will stay again.

Mum and l have visited this place a few times but just for tea and coffee as we do with a number of places. However, we wanted to eat there today, so headed out and arrived at about 4pm. On arrival, we noted they were super busy and regretfully, as we had not booked, they were unable to serve us any food, which we totally understood. For future reference, l took a look at the menue, and we really fancied the nut roast. I asked Emily, who we had been talking with, and asked if she recommended it and confirmed it was a really nice dish. I told her l regretted that we were late, but at least l knew what to have for next time. They were continually busy both at the bar and in the restaurant and were clearly under pressure as you would expect, but they were all professional, smiling, and getting on with their duties. We were just about to leave when Emily stopped us and said they had managed to make us the nut roast if we wanted it, and l am so glad we stayed to have it. The nut roast was out of this world, very tasty, presented well and in great quantity. We finished with apple crumble and blackberry with custard (would have been rude not to) and wowzer, taste, quantity, quality again top shelf. Big thanks to Amelie for looking after us, professional from start to finish, and her colleagues were great too. Thanks for looking after us. David and mum Janet Date of visit: July 2024

Stayed here for 1 night as was attending a wedding in the area. Could not recommend it enough! The room was absolutely amazing and so clean. Had breakfast the following morning which was unreal. Few options for a cooked breakfast along with cereal and tea/coffee/juices to go along with it. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very good value for money and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic building in a lovely location next to the village cricket pitch - the room was great; comfortable, clean and quiet - nice cooked breakfast with options was included - the beer was good and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

Stayed one night here. The room was cozy, very comfortable, spacious and clean. The owner Harry, Manager Andrew and the bar tender Lydia were all amazing!! They were friendly and was always ready to please. The food was delicious and the ambiance fantastic!! I highly recommend staying for atleast one night and enjoying their menu which offers a variety of different flavours not only pub style. The prices was very affordable. If looking for a family event, the pub as a few different sections away from the local crowd. The picnic tables and the park right by the side is very handy for kids to run around and also for your four legged friend/family member. Nothing, but good things to say about this place!!
