   Food was fine, standard English pub grub. It was cold with no roaring fire to welcome us to this medieval house. Service was very good.

   Very disappointing!!! Having dined here before several times the standard of the food has really deteriorated. We had a long wait for food - other tables were served before us that came in after us. In the past one was able to order extras like cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets but this was no longer available. The vegetables that accompanied our meal were very school dinner like and cold. We were also aghast that my daughter-in-law, who had the vegetarian roast, was not allowed to have a yorkshire pudding with her meal and when we questioned the staff member we were informed that this was not possible in case there were not enough to accompany the traditional meat roasts. We would obviously have paid extra for this. We checked that the yorkshires were cooked in vegetable oil and I then asked for mine to be included on my daughter-in-law's plate. The experience with the main course made us decide not to bother with a dessert and leave. Lastly, we felt sorry for the staff member serving us. He looked awkward about the situation. It made us feel that you do not value your customers.

   Nice country pub with pleasant ambience. They have themed nights but best to order ahead as they can run out of specials very early!

   We arrived for Sunday lunch early and the venue was very quiet. We were seated and served in a good time. The menu had great choices and wasn't too overwhelming. The food was fantastic, you couldn't fault it. One improvement would be ro turn heating on in the toilets - it was freezing in there!! All in all, a fabulous place with great atmosphere, staff and food!

   Access is not easy for anyone with minor handicaps. Steps are steep and passages narrow and tortuous. The welcome is warm. Tables and chairs comfortable but rather close together. Food was good, menu varied and well presented
