This place had recently experienced a power cut because of the storms. They were still able to serve decent food. The menu is diverse and has lots of good things on it. The woman who greeted us was really nice. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and the whole place just felt friendly. It was great to see so many foxes absolutely everywhere. It was amazing to note how many fox-related things were featured ie cushions, the backs of chairs, photographs etc. The place is quite small, but that just adds to how cosy, warm and friendly it feels. The people who attended the pub were also extremely friendly. I was allured by the fact that they spoke to us and they were just really nice. The people were not aloof at all and this was very much appreciated. What also made my day was that photos of an older man and a younger man were posted on the all. I noticed that the younger man walked into the pub and I recognised him because of the photographs! I recommend this place 100%. I just loved seeing all of the beautiful items with foxes on them. The people (including the customers) are also really lovely and nice.

Great pub, great landlady, one of a decreasing number of pubs that positively welcome dogs. It's been quite some time since my previous visit, and I was delighted to find nothing much has changed. I chose the fish pie, simple and ample. A superb village pub, thank you.

Unspoilt country / village pub with welcoming hosts. Well kept local ale. we always enjoy the pubs like those which don't try too hard to move with the times, this is how a pub should be. We also ate here, recommend the Sunday roasts, good choice and nice spuds, tender meat. Will return soon . Many thanks 😊

Friendly welcome and good service. Only criticism is a few of the menu items were unavailable and on a small menu, this really did limit choice. I would say the food is no frills pub grub.

They have hand sanitiser at the side entrance and the staff were very warm and welcoming. First time to a pub since lockdown and it was a very pleasant experience. All the seating currently is outdoors and there are sprays and towels for each table to clean yourself before and after you use the table, which I thought was good.
