I used to drink here many years ago, and myself and some friends have been in a few times recently. We had food yesterday and it was great Better than I expected. Manor Farm Barn and the Prince of Orange which are my local pubs do food but they are very pricey. Our food waa excellent and at a very reasonable price. I met Ed the landlord who as I understand it, is also the chef. I had scampi and chips and my partner had chicken wrap. Both delicious. The times I have visited recently I have been welcomed as If I was a regular and I really appreciate that. I have been served by Ed and two of his waitresses, whom I made a note of their names because they are so happy and friendly. In a pub this is so important to me, my colleagues, friends and family. Looking forward to a big night out with us all as I feel safe and welcomed. Great place, fantastic food and friendly, welcoming staff. I had to write this as I felt so strongly that this place warranted a review, and so I've done it. Great pub Ed, Naomi and Kirsty. Thanks to you and all...

The roast potatoes were crisp on the outside and fluffy within and the Yorkshire pudding was great both in flavour and texture. The wine we chose was top of the range. And the service was impeccably friendly. All in all I had the best outing for a very long...
Read moreshocked just how bad this pub has become. the gardens looked an absolute state - they were always lovely and well kept , there is even a pile of rubbish in one corner.we had gone up for lunch - got there about 2:30 as food was being served from 3pm according to the website - when we asked about food the bartender said yeah supposed to be 3 but knowing this lot it will be more like 5!!! seriously on a sunny saturday afternoon - so we drank our drink and then went to our usual pub where they have lovely food at normal times. BTW my husband had guinness and he said it was one of the worst he's had in a long time!the current landlords should be ashamed of ruining such a...
