Went Friday 28 October 2016 with 6 friends for evening meal. Very short staffed. After 30 minutes had to ask for menu then when we'd made our choices we had to ask again after some time for someone to take our order. Some of us ordered the sausages which were listed as with mashed potato and fresh vegetables. The sausages and mash were fine but we had to wait about 10 minutes for the veg which unfortunately when it came was frozen peas and this very insipid looking white cabbage. We were told there would be a 10% reduction because of the wait for veg. Had to ask again if we could order coffee. When bill came no reduction for the veg wait.

Having said that I will definitely go here again but I will be extremely careful of what I order because of the extreme...
Read moreExtremely friendly, traditional old village pub on the green in Upper Poppleton. Dog friendly. 17th century Grade 2 listed building. Fires, beams and a fantastic carved oak bar from the 19th century. Smiley eyed Bev (& Mr Bev, sorry, didn't get your name!) were wonderfully welcoming and warm, convivial hosts. Definitely a case of right folk in the right occupation. Car park. Beer garden to the rear with some shaded seating and an abundance of other assorted seating to the front and side. Handpulled cask beers were Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker, Black Sheep and Hobgoblin Gold. Loved the beer, totally loved the old carved bar, good food, but it's best assets are the landlord and landlady. See you again! Highly...
