I used to be a massive fan of this place but unfortunately recently the food quality has declined…read moreand the last visit we were met with the most confrontational and arrogant manager I have ever met in a restaurant. When we were told that that didn't serve tequila as a shot, he then proceeded to debate the details of if we were even allowed to have a whiskey without ice in it. We decided not to get another drink. Then as we were about to leave, he came from behind the bar to square up to us/me like a drunk would when trying to cause an argument. I am lost for words to describe this action. Continuing to debate his rules over if we could have whiskey with or without ice and why they don't' serve tequila. Finally allowing us to leave, he then appeared to boast to his friends (perhaps 'regulars') in the bar with his back to us. I'm not going to recount the whole story here, but suffice to say, I've been to many food and beverage establishments, and reviewed my fair share on here as you will see. I'm pretty sure this is the worst attitude towards customers I have ever encountered. We now have a new 'local' and won't be returning here.

Never got as far as the food…read more We turned up at 11.20am on a sunday after finding the place through a pub walk book which stated the pub opened at 11am everyday. The bar was open, so we went in, only to be told by the landlady quite rudely (in a manner suggesting that we are idiots) that there isn't a pub in the land that opens at 11 on Sunday! and that we'd have to come back later. Luckily theres a garden centre opposite so we killed some time there. 12 came and back we went, I ordered 3 cokes and an orange juice and sat in the garden. We wanted a baguette for lunch and after enquiring about the menu, we found that on a Sunday they ONLY serve a carvery. Fair enough but this information wasn't displayed anywhere. One course was £9.99. Whilst talking about the menu we discovered that the cokes were flat. So I took them back to the bar where the young bar staff had to call the landlady over to change the gas on the pump. She eventually got there and acknowledged the problem but then she started doing another task. I stood there waiting for another 5 minutes and then being fed up I just asked for a refund. Luckily the garden centre opposite had a shop, so it was back over there for a pasty! Rude landlady, luckluster service and no info about carvery only on a sunday equalled a bad experience.

Personally, I think the vegetables are so good that I would forgo the meat for them! Booking is essential. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, with several attractive walks.

Please, please, please order the drinks from the cocktail master. Ask the servers and they will tell you who he is. Hell, they told me. I ordered a drink from someone else, big mistake. My Long Island Ice Tea tasted like vodka and coke. Big no-no. Took it back and let the professional fix me a new one. And he did so with no issues. He was actually disappointed in the person that fixed me the drink after tasting the drink I took back. The other bar tenders need to learn from this dude. Too bad you don't tip in England because I would have handed this dude some cash for sure. Especially after all those delicious drinks he fixed me.

A beef casserole could have been mistaken for oxtail soup, seriously, I was still waiting for the meat and veg when I was told "that's it !" The other sad occasion I tried a mixed grill, I think it was a "boil in the bag" one. It all tasted the same. I nearly tripped over kids toys on the way out, never again (until a change of management) I have spoken to others who have been here and they have experienced the same. My teenage daughter could do a better job !

I have spoken to a number of other people who agree with me about this place. The other people in this pub seemed a bit rude and aggressive. The atmosphere inside isn't nice. For people that many go anyway, this is a Wetherspoons pub with the usual menu. The food is quite nice and doesn't cost too much and you can get drinks fairly cheaply as well.
