Managed to snag a table for lunch after coffee. The garlic bread was so good we ordered a second round! Staff were lovely.

Came with a big group of 22. They handled it really well, service was still quick. All the food came out hot and exactly as ordered. No mix-ups, which is impressive for a table that size.

The sharing roast for six was fantastic, especially the beef. Plenty of space for a big group, felt really comfortable.

Saxon was a great server. The bottomless brunch is a solid option for groups.

Lunch outside was lovely. Food came out hot and fast, which was nice. My main was tasty, but for the price I was hoping for a slightly bigger portion. Still, a decent meal.

The lake and river here are gorgeous, lots of wildlife to watch. Just spent a chilled afternoon by the water, it was really peaceful. A nice escape.

Nice local pub, the owners are lovely. But I&#39;m a bit torn on the value. Had the fish and chips, it was &pound;16.50. Tasted fine, but the portion felt a bit on the small side for the price, you know?

Nice, relaxed pub for catching up. The space is big and clean, decor&#39;s pleasant. Service was quick, which I appreciate. Had a decent pale ale on tap that went well with the atmosphere. Coffee refills are free, a nice touch. Could use a few more interesting craft options on the drinks menu though.

Came in for a quick pint, ended up staying ages. Love how the place is split into different little rooms, each with its own old fireplace or snug. Feels like a proper local, not some chain. Good for a big group, but also nice to just find a quiet corner.

Easy to get a table midweek. Food came out fast. Quality was pleasant, no complaints there. Just felt a bit pricey for what it was.

Alison was lovely, really apologetic about the wait. Cheese and onion toastie hit the spot. Could use more staff during lunch rush, but got my quick bite in the end.

The Sunday carvery was a lovely surprise before our walk. The roast was spot on, and that sticky toffee pudding... just the right amount of warmth and sweetness. A cosy, quiet corner made it feel like a proper little treat.

The art deco interior is gorgeous, really sets the mood. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends. We ended up staying for ages just chatting, the vibe is that good.

Been coming here for years, and I still love that they tell you exactly where the fish is from and the farm for the potatoes. It&rsquo;s that kind of detail that keeps me coming back. Just feels honest.

The staff here are so friendly and chatty, it really does feel like dropping by a mate&#39;s place for dinner. The cosy vibe is spot on for a chilled-out meal. Just a heads up, it got a bit loud when it filled up later on, but that&#39;s part of the charm, I guess!

Love the spot by the river. Had the Sunday roast last weekend - the beef was so tender and the Yorkshire pudding was spot on. A proper cosy pub vibe inside, perfect for a grey day.
