"We have been meaning to try here for a few months and today we finally popped in. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. There is plenty of seating indoors and a couple of tables outside. Easy access to the tea rooms as there’s no steps etc so good for pushchairs and wheelchairs. We ordered a slice of Victoria sandwich cake and a slice of lemon and blueberry cake. The cakes were lovely. We also ordered a cappuccino and a latte. We don’t have any dietary needs but we really liked the fact they offer diary free options as well as all their food being gluten free. We will definitely visit here again to try something else on their menu as they do jacket potatoes, panni’s, fish finger sandwiches and much more ..."

"I went there for Christmas dinner with my partner and we had a horrible experience will never go again. My partner had steak which was lovely but the chips, onions, sauce and other accompaniments were cold. I had traditional turkey the only edible thing was the carrots and turkey! The roast potatoes were hard as rock and seemed either overcooked or cooked from frozen. The parsnips I couldn’t cut, cauliflower was hard and the pigs in blanket was so hard it couldn’t be cut. There wasn't even a yorkshire pudding. We complained just about mine and they brought me a new one but that was worse. In the end I only ate a few carrots and some turkey. I complained again when he came to ask how it was again. He said he would ask manager to come over, he took 15/20 mins in meantime my psrtmer had eaten his steak and I was just sat there. The manager offered to let us have our 1 drink each free plus one more round. I was grateful they had offered but it had still spoiled my Christmas and I was emotional as I work every year as a nurse on Christmas Day and cook when I get in (for 40 years) this was the only time I had been out for christmas dinner. It took 50 mins to clear our plates. I just wanted to go home but we had dessert to eat so I had that it was nice but was described as Eton Mess but it was just a big meringue with a dollop of cream on and about 2 strawberries chopped up no sauce at all. The server was nice but we couldn’t get anyone’s attention to get a drink even though we were the last sitting and the kitchen was closed, it wasn’t that busy. I am disappointed and even though they tried to help me it wasn't enough, when we paid £90 each. They warm everything up in the microwave I think apart from meat and fish that’s what it tasted like anyway."

"I simply don 't write reviews unless a venue truly deserves it...and this one certainly does. A pre christmas family meal for 5 covering 3 generations so like any good father of a troublesome 2 year old...I did my menu research and knew before we arrived what we were going to devour. I have an addiction to anything with the words 'honey roasted ' in the title and the carrots took no exception to this rule whilst I was salivating over the elegant depiction of the lamb shank and its vegetable ensemble. Starters arrived with the wine. The Rioja tasted like silk and my tomato soup was perfect. All seemed fine and cozy with just enough elegance from the venue and its surroundings to make it feel more than just your typical village pub. Then the same main arrived for 3 of us. Slow Braised Lamb Shank, Creamy Mash, Honey Roast Carrots, Broccoli, Red Wine Sauce £18 The lamb shank, placed in the center of the dish , on a bed of mash, with a couple of carrots and broccoli dotted around the circumference. I admit I punch above my weight with my partner, so I have had to wine and dine her in some of the finest and not so fine restaurants to make her see the light. I consider myself very experienced in paying a lot for good food. So when I am presented with a boiled sliced carrot on my plate, with no hint of a sticky glaze or roasted glory.... I find myself in a predicament. My food excitement has gone, I 'm annoyed and I am seeking answers. I ate both carrots and both pieces of broccoli and still found myself with a very large piece of semi chewy meat and a lot of mashed potato. There was very little gravy so the mash was quite dry by the time I had eaten half of it and there was very little to no red wine running through it. So here the fun begins. I point out to the young waitress that the carrots were boiled. She states she will speak to the chef and find out. Whilst salivating over the prospect of deserts , I notice on two occasions staff walk towards us then walk away. I then got an answer which was just I 'm sorry we will not make the mistake next time This made me furious! Great, so the next person who comes in and orders the same dish today will get honey roasted carrots ?! So I decide to speak directly to the staff near the bar highlighting the errors in the menu and (on a £155 table bill) diplomatically asked for £5 per meal reduction to compensate for our culinary catastrophy. The chef made eye contact with me and he said I 'm sorry I did 'nt realize, we were just really busy As far as I could see we were the only people dining at the time! Then the manager came from around the corner and startled me as I was holding my 2 yr old. Without any introduction or apology his first words were Ive took a fiver off the bill I have had an extensive career in conflict management and customer service. I have never seen anything like this. It was rude, abrupt, with no empathy. Im not taking more than a fiver off , its just carrots . He emphasized. I pointed out it ruined 3 plates of food. In the end I just paid the bill and left. I 'm told that it was now under new recent management and it was not like this before. I would never eat here again and the whole staff need to take a course in customer relations."

"Great evening last night. Every single staff member was friendly and had a laugh and a joke with us. They were very careful with our food as we had a veggie in the group and a peanut allergy! All of the food was lovely and brought out very quick! The restaurant was air conditioned too which was amazing after walking in from the 30 degree heat! Really pleasant experience and a total opposite to what some of the reviews have said! Thank you for a great birthday meal treat! we will see you again!"

"We booked a picnic for 2 on a day when the pub was participating in the Help to Eat Out Scheme. When we came to pay, we were told that the picnics did not have 50% off. This was not mentioned when we booked over the telephone or on their website. The lady at the till was not bothered that we had been misled and couldn't really be bothered to even apologize. The picnic was nice but not worth £15 per person and we would not have booked if we had known it was not half price. Very poor customer service."
