    Went for mid-week pre-Christmas lunch, meeting relatives half-way between our respective homes. Warmly welcomed on arrival and well attended from the word 'go'. We were a party of 5 adults and 3 had pre-ordered the Festive menu with the others choosing from the standard menu on arrival. The food arrived promptly and was delicious and well portioned. Our waitress allowed a sufficient (and much needed!) gap between the main and dessert courses which emphasised the relaxed atmosphere and we never felt that we were being rushed, or hurried along. The restaurant was reasonably busy, so there was an agreeably gentle buzz and the background music was not at all intrusive. All in all a really enjoyable experience ... good food in a lovely setting with relaxed but quietly efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended.

    The food was good, as usual. The ambience is not quite so good in the back restaurant as the stone-walled log-fired entrance room; nevertheless, we still very much enjoyed our meal.

    Fabulous lunch with friends at this beautiful Cotswolds pub / restaurant. The food was great, for me standout dish was the pan-fried trout with saffron potatoes and samphire. Delicious
