We had a carvery which was £8.95 a head but plenty of it. Plenty of other choices all in a similar price bracket but also jacket potatoes and baguettes. It had a good choice of wine by the glass. The toilets were spotless and had a beautiful orchid in them. There is a large car park and also some tables outside. After lunch we walked a circular route for about 50mins, partly along the river to help our food go down. Staff were very friendly.

The local beer was good, there was no bloody TV and if there was music I can't recall it. Our dinner was delicious, I had the vegetarian bread pudding which was very unusual and got 10/10.

There was a big portion of well cooked vegetables, and the lamb leg was served sous vide and chargrilled. The beetroot was a nice surprise, well roasted. A delicious home made mint sauce sealed the deal for me. The starter was an usual choice for me, tataki sea bass which was a sashimi style thing. Very delicate and flavoured with coriander and sesame oil. Three courses was probably too much for me, but I tucked it all away regardless. It was £21.50 for three courses, which is a generous price for that amount of quality food. The pud was brownie with whipped cream, fruit and nuts and chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I'm still stuffed full now three hours later. The village is very idyllic, reminded me of the place where the Vicar of Dibley was set. I'll go there again and again without doubt. I'd love to stay in one of the rooms too. 10/10.
