   Overall brilliant experience, food , service, staff all excellent, let down by the front door being constantly left open to allow a bitter freezing cold wind into the room , no one wants to sit in a bar paying almost £20 for 2 drinks freezing cold , suggested putting a self closing arm on the door , the lady took this onboard, and said she would pass on our suggestion, room was also very cold , you should not be paying £220 for a room to have to put a dressing gown and have to get into bed .

   Lovely Sunday lunch, meat was delicious although the side veg was a bit bland and small portion. Drinks are expensive; £12 for a glass of Shiraz is excessive (nothing special).

   Was there on a very quiet Monday night in February, staying over in one of their rooms. Breakfast and dinner service was fantastic, food was good, not sensational, but good. I had the pressed game terrine followed by the pie of the day (steak and ale), not a wealth of steak in it but it was tasty and the crust was excellent. My wife throughly enjoyed her beetroot salad and mushroom pappardelle. Breakfast selection great and done really well. Would definitely return, probably in the summer months.

   Love the new menu, wife disappointed the chocolate orange tart has gone. Chicken croquettes is nicely seasoned and would be a fantastic filling for a chicken burger. As stand alone a great starter. Main course was Chicken roast. Come with mash, roast potatoes, carrot, parsnips and a good amount of gravy. You also get additional veg on a different plate. All was cooking well and tasty. For desert tried the apple crumble sundae and that was delicious. Another great visit and guests also impressed.

    Lovely pub and staff, the fish and chips were great but the cheese board expensive and disappointing, we were also cold which spoilt the evening.
