First off the staff were fantastic, professional and polite, the pub is pleasant to the eye and we enjoyed our food but this is where I have difficulty in quality of the food. Looking at all the reviews and photos we decided to drive a long way to visit the pub because of the home cooked food and 5 star quality. When we arrived the first thing we see was the Brake Brothers lorry unloading who also supply our local village pub! So in the pub looking at the menu decided on the “local raised and butchered “ steak and other items, I know meat and can tell that my steak wasn’t hand butchered and certainly not hung, a bit like supermarket meat, it was cooked perfectly but it did not cut like butter & totally flavorless. the other thing that annoyed me was when the plate arrived it had “the steak” a pot for chips(frozen), a pot for mushrooms and a pot for the sauce, there is no elegance in pulling pots out the microwave throwing them on a plate. A ploughmans lunch came out and fresh assorted salad it was a bit of limp brown lettuce, 3 like plastic takeaway pots of coleslaw, butter & pickle a tiny bit of cheddar cheese, but the rest was OK. A plate of baby ribs came out like it had just come out a packet then loaded with a not very nice over powering BBQ sauce. The Hunters chicken was probably the best meal that came out but again like all processed Brake Brothers food. Now, the food is edible but when advertised as 5 star and charging £28 for a steak and £17+ for Ploughmans and another £24 for the ribs, well I was slightly disappointed I could have save £40 on fuel and had the same meal in our local pub. We would have had way more food and drink if the prices were realistic to match the food. Still a very nice place just don’t be fooled for high end food.
