    It's obviously changed hands since i was there in 2020 and certainly not for the better. The girl behind the bar was constantly on her phone and I had to attract her attention every time I needed service. The pub was soulless and cold it was actually warmer outside and that was 20 Deg. In my opinion it needs a good deep clean to get rid of a foul dirty smelly. I ordered the ox liver( why not lambs) and my wife ordered the haddock. Waited 25 mins for it to arrive. Both dishes went back as the liver was very tough and the fish wasn't cooked properly it was slimy and smelt. If it was possible I would not give it any stars but it's not. We paid for our drinks and left. We will never step foot in this place again. Time to lean, time to clean We visited at 14.15 on Tuesday 9th July.

    Perfect evening after a muddy stomp around Buxton Heath in the sunshine ☀️ Popped into one of our favourite local pubs & decided to try their seasonal du jour menu which is 3 courses for £25 or 2 courses for £21. The food was utterly delicious with fresh ingredients & attention to detail. The staff as always were lovely & welcoming. Plenty of space & free parking right outside 🅿️ Huge beer garden on grass 🍺 and the garden gets the afternoon sun which is perfection. A really lovely pub & worth popping along to as it’s just so easy to access & enjoy !

    A warm welcome to begin with, with a good selection of drinks. Local ales were particularly of note. Not an extensive selection, but enough to be interesting. Pigeon breast to start was a real treat. Nicely prepared and presented. Rhubarb jus was tasty. Would benefit from a little more considering the portion size of the meat. Pork belly was superb! I'm glad I asked for extra apple sauce. This was great, but again needed a bit extra to accompany the portion size. All the elements were excellent, making a really great mouthful when combined. An important sign of well matched elements. Trout fillet was cooked beautifully! The sauce was really good, but not outstanding. A lovely cheese selection and Lemon posset for dessert. The lemon was fabulous, and a very well flavoured mango sorbet to accompany. After a bit of a hiccup at the start, service was really attentive and friendly. Definitely coming here again. Dog friendly, for those that care. :-)

    This is a pretty thatched pub with delicious food just outside Norwich. The service was attentive and friendly, and we had no complaints whatsoever. Would highly recommend the chicken supreme and the fish and chips.

    We wanted a Sunday roast for a party of 12 and this was recommended by a friend. However, it was a very disappointing meal, the roast was bland, and the desserts were not nice at all, we didn't even finish it! The crumble was stogey and custard was gloopy. The yorkshire pudding was burnt and the gravy was watery. The pub itself wasn't that busy, yet it was still hard to get the waiters attention. However, that said, there was a girl who was friendly and apologetic to us when she served us, hence the 2 stars for service. There was quite some wait for the despite us ordering in advance as we were a big party group; even the kids ice cream took about 10mins to be served, we had to chase it! Overall, I wouldn't recommend but hopefully it was just a one off for them?
