Food, and drink were good. Staff friendly and welcoming. Just the table we were seated was moving a lot -that need fixing. The small table next to the bar :)

Great food , nice atmosphere, and unlike a lot of miserable pubs in the area were happy for us to bring the dog in.

A group of us went here for a friends baby shower and roast dinner on a Sunday afternoon, and they couldn't be more accommodating for us all. The service was friendly, and the food was amazing. Will definitely return and recommend this cosy country pub to friends and family.

We had a reservation for 12.30 today (Christmas eve). Seven of us travelling from up to 2hrs drive away for a family lunch. Over the preceding 6 weeks I had spoken to the pub about our booking including confirming the booking 3 days ago. Arrived to find the pub closed until 2pm. Another couple also arrived who had a booking for 12.45. Apparently the pub had tried to call us yesterday to cancel our booking. Too short notice for a Christmas booking. No reason offered. And no chance of an on the day booking anywhere else.

I held my late Husbands wake here, the staff we're very polite and helpful, the food was delicious everyone said what a lovely atmosphere and the pub is stunning if you're ever near it's worth a visit

Such a wonderful cute pub. The food took a bit of time to come out but the food was definitely worth the wait! So much care and time put into the food. If you are looking for some cozy food at a very reasonable price this is the place to go. We ordered the hunters chicken and the beef bourguignon.

Friendly staff. Good facilities, like the look of the teepee for functions and events. Just had a drink so not commenting on the restaurant.

Booked a table for 6 for my 49th birthday. I went here in the summer and was very underwhelmed. I’d heard it was under new management and I wanted to try it out. . A smallish menu was given but what we were presented with was very outstanding - the Scotch egg was perfect - we all had the Plough burger, which was fab - lovely chips and a home cooked feel to the burger. The chap that served us (or maybe the owner) couldn’t have been more polite- he was spot on with his timing and comments - he should train all staff to be like this! I used to work here 10 years ago and my service was never this good!!

Without a doubt, our lunch was the most delicious pub lunch in memory.....and we have a LOT of pub lunches! All four of us in our party were extremely impressed with the food. Nathan was incredibly busy and seemed to be the only person on front of house, but he still managed to be unfailingly friendly and welcoming. We will most definitely return, and recommend to friends.

Met with my brothers for lunch before a funeral at the nearby Cam Valley Crematorium. The staff were outstandingly friendly and good humoured and there was a good range of food; well cooked; well presented and tasty. Time pressures meant we had to leave our puddings but the landlord was gracious and understanding about this. We sat inside as it was a little chilly but could see that the pub has an extensive and pleasant garden area at the rear. Good luck to Nathan and Rory, who I understand have recently taken over the pub and a shout out to Angel who looked after us.

Wow amazining! This was the best Sunday roast we've had in a very long time, supported by some very fine, happey, attentive, enthusiastic service. Just some of the elements that get my appluase are Yorkshires that were made just for us (not beforehand), perfectly cooked lamb, generous helpings, a surprise bit of mash at the end (hidden under everything), an unusual vegetarian alternative which my pesci partner loved, patience and mobility help for my 90+ year old dad, and an honest request from the chef for feedback on the daily special dessert (which was a delicious experiment). Forget the Lions and Crowns nearby, this is your best bet! Keep it up, everyone!!

Visited a couple of weeks after Rory and Nathan took over. Nathan is definitely the right man in the right job, very hospitable. Old pub full of character and large outdoor seating area. Lovely food and good atmosphere, would come again.

Wonderful lunch here today in this beautiful pub. The two new landlords Nathan and Rory are local lads Rory from the actual village and what a difference that makes so friendly and helpful. I wish them luck and will be back on Friday for the big opening weekend

We went out to eat with two kids under three. The landlord was so helpful and accommodating, a really lovely guy. The food is good pub grub at a reasonable price and the friendly welcoming atmosphere make it a lovely place to eat out.

Dreadful Waited for a good 20minutes after 6.00pm Only to be served cold vegetable chilli con carne. I remarked to the waiter and he returned it to the kitchen waiting for over 20mins before being served hard congealed. Rice then it had to be returned again to the kitchen This is unexceptable to be subjected to serving below standard food. I found the whole ordeal appalling. And was told they have had a few issues with the chief. Incompetent staff in my opinion.

Under new management 2024. Food much, much better. Young efficient polite staff with team attitude. No service charge automatically added to bill. Excellent selection of ales and lagers. Superb wine list for every taste and price range. Large car park to the rear and sunny terrace ! A cosy village Pub on the way up !

Food was not very good, but expensive. Burgers seemed to have been made with cheap meat and buns. We visited at lunchtime in the middle of winter and it was quiet, with no heating, which was not pleasant.
