"Really awful experience here. We booked a table for 9 and received a booking confirmation. We were then emailed to ask us to confirm the booking, which we responded to instantly. We were then asked to call to confirm the booking, which we replied that we could not do as we have no phone signal in the countryside but we emailed confirming the booking again. The next morning we were again asked to phone to confirm the booking in response to our email, and advised that if we did not call in one hour they would cancel the booking. One hour later they cancelled the booking with no personable approach or reference to our situation that we had no phone call. We then called the pub three times as they requested and they did not answer. It went to voicemail advising that we need to book online (which we did). We have not received a response. We have found this incredibly rude and careless of them, and will now be asking people to avoid this place..."

"What can I say about this hidden gem.. Wood N Ribbon is set in beautiful surroundings, pretty, quaint and absolutely full of character. I was blown away the second we got there. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a warm welcome and made to feel extremely comfortable. The food was delicious and I would be bold enough to say that the coleslaw was the best I have tasted. The children’s menu was great and my little niece thoroughly enjoyed it. The outside area was amazing with farm animals for everyone to enjoy. It’s a great place for families and also just to relax and unwind. Will definitely come back. Thank you Steve, Monika and family for a wonderful visit. I highly recommend to all"

"The Top Bar offers a lovely, quiet, and cozy atmosphere, featuring just three tables with around 14 seats, creating an intimate dining experience. For lunch, we enjoyed salmon wrapped in prosciutto, accompanied by black forest cheesecake and whisky crème brûlée for dessert. The salmon was rich yet complemented beautifully by the prosciutto, and it was served with a well-flavored celeriac cake that stood out on the plate. Among the desserts, the crème brûlée was indulgently rich, creamy, and generously sized, while the cheesecake skillfully combined chocolate with cherries in kirsch, resulting in a delightful treat. The service was prompt and friendly, making for a wonderful lunch in a charming setting."

"On a beautiful Tuesday in August, my mother, our friend, and I decided to go out for a meal. In this area, not everything is open on weekdays for lunch, so I called to see if they were serving, having been there a couple of years ago. I didn't realize that the restaurant is now under different management, but after a quick search on Tripadvisor, the reviews looked good, so we made a reservation for 1pm and headed over. We were greeted by Amy, a lovely lady behind the bar. She was very friendly and couldn't do enough to help (thank you, Amy!). We then sat in the beer garden and chose our meals. We all decided on the two-course £10 menu. My mother went for the ham and potatoes, our friend chose the cod and chips, and I, being more health-conscious as I've been trying to lose weight, asked if I could possibly have the pear and blue cheese salad on the starter menu, but as a main course? Andy was happy to accommodate (thank you, Andy!). Our meals came out, brought by Lydia, who was a cheerful and friendly person and also said it was no trouble to make the salad for me (thank you, Lydia!). I was very grateful, as anyone who has dieted and eaten out will surely understand! Anyway, everything was absolutely delicious! Each meal was well presented and smelled wonderful, and I can honestly say it tasted as good as it looked! 3 very happy people. For dessert, the ladies had Eton mess, and Andy kindly made me a fruit salad with strawberries, pineapples, and pears! It wasn't on the menu, but he allowed me to have 'pud' with the others! Everything was truly wonderful and I can only say good things. We are determined to return as soon as possible to try the evening menu, which looks lovely. Andy (the chef) came out to chat with us after our meal and he was very enthusiastic and passionate about his food, which was really nice to see. He clearly cares a lot about what he serves. Highly recommended!"
