This is totally a top class pub, 16 century coach house and it is amazingly preserved and a real shinning jewel in this beautiful little village it is amazing, the food is priced as you would imagine in a top award winning pub, but that doesn't mean everything on the menu is expensive. If you want lobster and champagne you could get it but you will have to pay lobster and champagne prices. They do village nights burger and a pint at a reasonable price and lots of events and festivals. It is quite a formal looking place but apart from being called sir which I am not used to you don't feel out of place not being as smartly dressed as the staff. It has a huge outside space as well a few places to tuck into a patio bar and big beer garden. It has event space and rooms to stay in as well.I can't comment because I haven't used these but if they are anything like the pub and restaurant then I would imagine they are amazing. Be amazing for a special meal or a light lunch. Also just great to try the selection of beers from the local brewery and some good others on tap and bottled. Good wine selection. Friendly locals It really has everything.
Heres the thing.... we have stayed before, several times.. old ownership... However, now, somewhere we thought would would be hard to beat, has got better. Great menu, lighter and great mixture, re decorated since our last visit, fresher.. lighter. More....at ease with itself Full on a wet Sunday afternoon, live music in the courtyard... a final point... appropriate in a way and 12/10 for us burnt basque cheesecake....not at all what you may anticipate.... better...love it...Again
Like the last person, I am saddened to write this review. Firstly we thought the menu was not really seasonal, with heavy dishes such as venison, no salads. The main courses were small which would have been fine, except the meats were cheap cuts for example chicken thighs over £22. The cod had no flavour for £26. I understand due to outrageous rising costs you have to make cuts but I came away feeling very disappointed
