I never rate 5* because there's always room for improvement. (But that's just me). They serve the smallest..keep reading.. tastiest..keep reading..most filling steak and kidney pie I've ever had..it was gorgeous. Served with a potato mash not quite like anything I've had before..I'm guessing a cheesy herby kind of mash..mash doesn't suit it as a word..and they haven't paid me for this review..the peas were dried up and overcooked, the gravy was A2, (I don't give A1's either). Service.. friendly, helpful but not trying to get you in and out as a number, I truly felt valued as a customer. Value for money.. when I looked at my small pie, with the obviously overcooked peas, a small pile of mash, and a small pot of gravy, I thought..ÂŁ9-95 for this? I also bought sausage mash and gravy for my two girls, who normally finish anything put on the plate..they didn't, but it wasn't because they didn't like it. (full up). They shared the sausages and I had a bite of both the Lincolnshire and Cumberland..both A2 (remember I don't give A1's) Summary So, for ÂŁ30 ish, we had three meals, drinks not included but are very reasonably priced, brilliant service without being in your face, in a very comfortable, clean pub..oh and certainly the mens toilet is clean, my girls said the womens were clean too. The only fault I can think of are the peas.. sadly.. everything else 5..no..4đ Well done...

The inside of the pub is pristine, and the general aesthetic strikes the perfect balance of traditional and modern, which isn't an easy thing to get right, but they've managed it! The bar is usually featuring guest ales and all the standard lager, cider, wine and spirits you could possibly need, and it features a plethora of classic weekend pub entertainment - which I'm proud to say that I'm a part of, as one of their music acts. The pub also apparently backs on to a sizeable camp site - always handy if you're packing tents. Other reviewers have raved about the food, so that's certainly something for us to experience at a later date. The photos certainly look wonderfulđđŒ Ridgemont, get behind your local pub.

   Read moreWhat an amazing venue to have our daughterâs christening. Everything was perfect! Tom made organising the day very easy. Communication was excellent and there were great food choices. We went for the premium buffet and we couldnât have been happier. The food was amazing and there was loads of it. If anything ran low they would top it up. It came with unlimited tea and coffee. Very accommodating for the children. There were chicken nuggets, chips and unlimited squash, which was regularly topped up. The room was spotlessly clean, the bar lady was really efficient and friendly. The room was decorated beautifully. I couldnât praise this venue enough. There a small team of staff and did an amazing job. I canât wait to book this...
