Lovely, quiet pub. The food was delicious and they were able to flex to my dietary requirements. The service was good... attentive without being overly intrusive.

A lovely little find. We arrived early but were seated straight away. A lovely warm greeting and a beautiful old world style venue, a few other people eating, and some locals drinking in the bar for 4 in the afternoon, it still had a lovely atmosphere. I can only imagine what it must be like on a Sunday afternoon when it's buzzing with more people. A fantastic choice of food on the menu to suit a variety of tastes. And all very reasonably priced. The leek and potato soup was delicious, as was the homemade steak and ale pie. Not a soggy bottom in sight! The chocolate brownie and ice cream was a hit with my daughter, and my apple and raspberry crumble was to die for. A starter, 3 main courses, 2 desserts and 3 drinks just over £90 which for a beautiful setting and nice full content tummies, I personally thought was great value for money. They have a wonderful undercover garden area out the back, which we will definitely be making a visit to in the summer months. Overall a very pleasant visit to celebrate my husbands birthday and a lovely start to an evening spent at the Thursford Spectacular.

Fantastic little pub with cosy tables inside and out. Food was excellent and service was exceptional. Lacking in customers on a weekday night which was sad to see.. Did need a few Christmas decs to make it feel more in keeping with the time of year. On the whole a little gem of a pub. We will be back.
