"Our party of 3 were handed crumpled lunch menus and though I requested a wine menu apparently there isn't one. I asked what was available and from the three first mentioned chose a Rioja at £21. It was acceptable. I chose a 16 oz rump steak. On being asked how I wanted it cooked I suggested that the chef would know how best to cook his product and that this would be ok with me. I was met with a blank stare. After two more tries I was told I had to choose myself so chose medium rare. When it arrived weighing no more than 10 oz, gristly and rather thin, it was dry and cooked hugely beyond well done. I can honestly say this was the worst attempt at a steak I can recall. My fellow diners restrained my desire to complain even though their meals (a steak pie and a thai red curry) were mediocre. No one bothered to ask if our food was ok. After a coffee we left. I am surprised that this place is still trading."

After a short wait starters arrive nicely presented, well prepared very tasty. Mains arrived after a short wait after finishing starters everything is freshly prepared cooked so a short wait is good. Main courses where nicely cooked very nicely presented. Everything was very nice tasty. We found space for a desert each they where both very tasty.

"This lovely little hidden gem in the middle of a quaint village is the hive of community get together as selling gastro pub meals at affordable, competitive prices and variety of alcohol and soft drinks. They also have a carvery on a Wednesday and a light bite menu which is great for people who do not have as big an appetite. I have attended as a sole diner on a lunch or with friends or with my daughter. The light bite menu suits us and so can highly recommend the chicken fajita, corned beef pie, tuna melt is to die for, the flatbread of the day is also a sure winner as is the sausage and mash and mince and dumplings. They are perfectly cooked and well portioned sizes even for lunch. On an evening I have been with family and friends and for occasions and it is always a happy, buzzing, ambient atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming and though it is extremely busy, they are always friendly and cannot do enough to make your dining experience as wonderful as can be with meals served in a timely manner. Family favourites are definitely the sizzlers. Though the steaks sre cooked to perfection and speciality hamburgers are also sure fire winners too. For fish lovers, there is always plenty of choice, the salmon in specials was truly mouthwatering. Unfortunately I cannot comment about the puddings as I am always far too full to enjoy a desert but happily have a nice coffee which is served with a biscuit and a smile. Whilst drinks are generally paid for and you have to take to the table, the meals are table service. For those who are disabled and have mobility issues, the friendly accommodating staff will do their utmost to make things easier for you. Tables by the door, disabled toilet to be used with disabled key or one will be provided. Full table service for drinks including meals if disabled person is not easy to stand for so long. Nothing is ever a bother and the food is nothing less than hot when served and absolutely delicious!"

"This course gets 2 stars for having a great layout. Otherwise, it would be 1 went today as a group of 6 unfortunately 2 couldn't make it last minute we had ordered 4 buggies for the 2 original 4 balls but had to go out as 2 3 balls not sure why maybe to speed up play? Even though it was painfully slow anyway in front. After 3 of us teed off the guy from the pro shop walked out and asked if we could just wait and let this 2 ball nip out quickly why didn't they book an earlier tee time if they knew there was 4 balls going out? But the worst thing was the course and the price we were charged! I had played here years ago, and it hasn't gotten any better. Greens are still very slow compared to any other courses in the area and lots of damaged rough patches on some greens, there is terrible maintenance all over the course left over dead grass everywhere from the rough we had numerous balls lost just off the greens and fairways shocking and a lots of uneven poor tee boxes! We played a championship golf course 2 days ago for £24 through the golf now app which makes this look like a farmers field with flags on it and this cost us £45 each for golf and shared buggy so i presume £30-£35 for golf and rest for buggy ridiculous! It should be no more than £15 Won't be back much better value elsewhere!"
