I was gifted a camper van rental by my sons for my birthday. I’ve never driven one before, so I didn’t want to venture too far from home on my first trip. After researching all available sites for this weekend, I came across this...place. I brought a friend with me and my two dogs and we were welcomed onto the site and asked if we wanted to be near to the facilities. Very grateful for that! We chatted for a while and he even helped us hook up to the electric. Excellent start to the trip and very kind of R to help us. We sat in the sun for the afternoon and made our way into the pub for dinner later, (with the dogs another reason why I picked this place, as they were also very welcome). I ordered the fish and my friend had a burger. Both meals were very generous and very tasty. H and the other waiters who served us were great and very attentive. We left very satisfied that night. We also ate here on Saturday night and this time I had the salad with chicken. Delicious! I just can’t express the tastiness of their food, enough! Our waitress, A, was very polite and professional and we had a lovely conversation with her at the end of the night. My friend wanted us to have the Sunday roast before we left, so she booked us in and again, wow! She couldn’t decide between the beef and the chicken, so she went for the combo, which had both!! Not for the faint-hearted, I tell you!! What a meal! I chose the nut roast which was the best one I’ve ever eaten. The vegetables that come with it are also very tasty. The Yorkshire’s are nearly as big as the plate and were incredible! I can honestly say, Ive never eaten so many plates of delicious dishes as I did this weekend! We spoke to several of the staff during this weekend and found everyone to be amicable, friendly, hard-working and willing to give good service. I can not fault them. Our stay on camp was enhanced by the young family who were staying across the grass and we had so much hilarity with their small children as they kept asking to see the dogs. They were great. Other campers were very friendly and I enjoyed the camaraderie from them, even if it was just with a good morning wave and hello. I have no hesitation in recommending either the campsite or the pub, or indeed both together, to anyone! I would like to thank every member of staff for the welcome and professionalism we experienced and we will soon be planning for our next visit! Thank you. x

We came here last night for a meal to celebrate our anniversary. When we first arrived we were sat in a noisy part of the pub and so the waiter very kindly asked us if we wanted to move. However when we were sat at...our new table the chairs were so hard I was really uncomfortable. Our food took a long time to come and when it arrived we were told the ticket had been lost and the chef sent his apologies which we didn’t mind as these things happen. Unfortunately my meal was quite disappointing, I had a chicken Kiev with ham and mozzarella but I had to dig three quarters of the way into the Kiev to find any ham and mozzarella as there was barely any in there. My dauphinoise potatoes weren’t creamy at all like I was expecting. I didn’t eat much of my meal and when the waiter came over to clear our table and asked how it was I said I didn’t really enjoy it. He failed to hear what I said and so I expressed to him again that I hadn’t enjoyed my meal, once again he failed to listen to what I was trying to tell him! He was friendly and polite but he just wasn’t listening to a word I said, it was very frustrating. Needless to say when he came to take the bill and asked how everything was I didn’t bother to say anything. Can I note that this waiter was a different one from the one we had to start with who was very helpful and I think would of listened to my complaints. All in all it was a very disappointing experience and put a dampener on our anniversary celebrations and it was such a shame that my complaints weren’t listened to so we could of resolved the situation when we were there.

My partner and I finished off a lovely day out by having dinner at the pub and to start with the positives: we were delighted by the ambience very cosy with the fire going and the decor was really nice too. The location is...brilliant and the autumn theming is really lovely to take in. Staff were welcoming and friendly throughout and really made an effort which is why I have been reluctant to write this review. We both had the soup to start and although the soup was nice, one very small bit of bread each is really mean… and didn’t like the fact it was focaccia which really didn’t go with the soup… HOWEVER the mains were when it really went wrong for a vegan ‘steak’ is pure cheek! And a similarly high price for vegan sausage and mash. For we were expecting something really special and were very disappointed. It tasted like something you could buy in the freezer section of a supermarket with some chips. Likewise the vegan sausages tasted store bought and the mash had far too much mustard in which was overpowering . Neither of us wanted to complain to staff because it’s not really our nature and, as before, the staff really make the place. We left without desert because really didn’t want to shell out anymore money. …. We were both very unwell the next day in the tummy department. for two people, beers, a starter and a main… I really don’t think the price of the meals reflect their quality or ingredients. Such a shame.

We hired the long room with courtyard for our gathering. It was ideal for families and the children had space to move around. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was delicious and well presented with vegetarian options. I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting...somewhere to hire for a family celebration

Sad to say but the dinner was awful. Cod littered with bones, one of the orders arrived minutes late and the children’s serving was only suitable for toddlers. Won’t be going for dinner anytime soon. Only took off one meal.
