"We went here on a whim for our anniversary afternoon tea as we had heard good things about it. As we walked in I was instantly hit with the vibe. And what a vibe it is. Very cottage like and warm. Very farmer esc is the best way I can describe it with beautiful and nostalgic furnishings throughout, pictures of local wildlife and the history of the place really pull you in straight away. We were greeted by a lovely lady called Zoey and she was instantly helpful and you could tell she wanted us to have the best experience. We sat in the cubby area which was a bit more secluded and lovely and warm. The food itself was incredible. I make a point of trying afternoon teas as I love them and I promise this one is brilliant. You get a selection of sandwiches, home made (huge) sausage roll section and pork,chicken pie. Along with this you get a selection of cakes and possibly the nicest scones I've ever eaten. Plenty of tea aswell. Whilst I was there I took a look at the toilets, nothing to special and a bit outdated now but did the trick I couldn't see and wheelchair access but on this occasion I didn't look around the whole place, they may have some around the side but don't quote me there. Parking is attached for punters aswell as some over the road, not loads so be wary of you come at a busier time. Service was brilliant, Zoey truly is a gem, she really put alot of effort into providing the best experience and was happy and bubbly throughout, truly made us feel welcome. Really easy to book aswell on their website and they are active on social media if you have questions The price for the two afternoon teas with tea came to £43 so not too bad for what we got Overall we had the best time here and will be returning/telling people about it 5/5 Vegetarian options: Yes plenty of veggie options Parking: Car park attached not the biggest but free also parking opposite the pub unsure if that is free or not though"

"My husband and I have been wanting to visit as we had heard good reviews following the change in management recently. We decided to book for Sunday Lunch and we were not disappointed!!! We were welcomed on arrival by the friendly and attentive manager and then shown to our table in the spacious, lovely decorated restaurant. He explained what the soup and meats of the day were and took our drinks order which arrived soon after. I hadn't heard of one of the starters before so they explained to me what it was and they must have sold it well as I ordered it and thoroughly enjoyed it! (Beef Bon Bons as per my photo, try them! After a short but appreciated rest we were then presented with our Sunday roast WOW!! I apologise for not getting a photo but it looked so tasty I couldn't wait to try it! It was really good and had everything and more....meat, Yorkshire pudding (which was the best!! , stuffing, mash and roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips and a side of at least 4 5 different vegetables to go with it. We couldn't manage a dessert as we didn't leave room but from the looks of what was being delivered to other tables we will definitely try one on our next visit. I like to add some negatives to a review also to give a good balanced opinion but I honestly couldn't think of any. If I was pushed, then I would say it is a little more money than your standard carvery chain restaurants but you pay for what you get and we were very impressed, money well spent! Well done to the management, chefs and attentive waiting staff, you made our visit very enjoyable thank you!"
