    We ordered the Lamb Shanks for Main meal and it was cooked so well and was so tasty! Unfortunately the Pate starter was disappointing. it was nothing special for the price and presentation wasn’t great.

    Lovely welcome on arrival. Very warm and cosy with wood burner going as outside wind and rain. Ordered drinks and then not long after through to the restaurant. Meal was yummy. Hubby had roast beef and pork and I had lamb shank both meals excellent with plenty of veg. Pudding one of us had sticky toffee pudding/custard and i had cheesecake with lovely fresh strawberries. Will certainly be back maybe during the week just for a change. Also looking forward to visiting when spring/summer arrives to enjoy the lovely garden.

    We love the old pheasant, however tonight it was cold in the pub, uncomfortably so. We asked the barman when the fire was going on and he wasn’t particularly friendly to be frank! I appreciate that he seemed to be working alone, but he wasn’t friendly or engaging with us when we tried to strike up conversation, he was more interested in a long conversation about Newcastle football club with a man sitting at the bar. When the fire was lit he didn’t let us know or engage with us. I am critically ill, and became really cold at the pub which isn’t good for me. I love this pub and have had fantastic service in the past, this was disappointing. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but it spoil the experience. This was my first time out of the house in a long time and it wasn’t the experience I had hoped for.

    Very friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and served quickly. The dining area is lovely and cosy, and the staff and owner are always happy and helpful. I do not have a single bad thing to say, I highly recommend this place.
