The Horse And Groom

We had a lovely meal here which was freshly cooked of fish and chips. Service was good and we didn't have to wait too long. It is also a dog friendly pub which is always an added bonus for us.

A gem, a true country pub. Walk in, smile and say Hello and you will immediately know you are welcome. Nothing pretentious or arty farty Just genuine, good value, so rare these days. Excellent ales at sensible prices. This is a pub for country pub connoisseurs.

We had lunch here today, we stumbled on this inn when we were looking for a lunch stop. From arriving to leaving the lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and it all came out hot and well presented. The quality of the food was first class and we had a lovely lunch. We will certainly be returning to this amazing find.

Went here for a 82nd Birthday and there was 10 of us and we had pre-booked in for 12:30 on a Sunday (they open at 12). Sadly we had to wait until near 2pm for the food to arrive even though we had only ordered one course. There was 3 other tables and their wait was equally as long despite only 3 or 4 people at their tables. However when the food did arrive it was of high quality and full of taste. If they could reduce the waiting time to normal this place would be great

After reading Sarah C's review, I couldn't help but feel that she was completely unaware of the situation. I feel the need to set the record straight. On that Friday night, the chef unexpectedly fell ill (suffering a stroke, to be exact). While Sarah was complaining about trivial matters, the staff and the chef's partner of over 20 years were awaiting the arrival of the ambulance. I want to thank Sarah for her disrespectful review, but she is not welcome back at our restaurant.

New to the area and was delighted to find this little gem. A typical country pub hidden at the end of a single track lane. We visited at night so we’re unable to appreciate this 200 or so year old pub from the outside so will have to visit during the day. The menu was extensive. The staff very polite and helpful, the food was delicious and for the price portion sizes were huge. My only complaint, too many peas. But if that’s my only complaint you did well. Thank you for a lovely evening.

My group of six went out for a night and weren't in a hurry. The starters were good, including tasty soup, garlic mushrooms, and prawn salad. We understand that the kitchen is small at the pub, but we were quite hungry by the time the starters arrived after waiting over an hour. The main courses came after another wait. Five of us enjoyed our meals, but unfortunately, the salmon was overcooked and drowned in a sauce that one person did not like. It seemed like a poor choice. The desserts were good, and some of us opted for coffee or tea. The overall cost of the meal was very reasonable.

Be warned that this is not a child friendly pub. We went for lunch and were yelled at by bar staff that nobody under 14 is allowed in the bar. There were no manners or pleasantries used in telling us this at all and when we clarified given there were kids menus on the tables we were told that it was on the door. We looked on the way out to see a tiny note that everyone would have missed. In this instance we left understandably angry and went elsewhere. Staff could be heard laughing when we left. Can’t comment on food or drink as we were given no opportunity to try it. Don’t recommend going here with family.

We are ashamed to admit that it 's been several months since our last visit, but the meal last night was excellent, so we will not be away for so long until our next visit. We all opted for Steaks, our wives went for 8oz Ribeye, medium rare, whereas us guys opted for the hearty 16oz TBone rare. The pub was busy and we are aware that they have a very small kitchen and I guess our food was served about half an hour after ordering, but as always, very much worth the weight. Steaks were cooked to perfection, every time we have we always say, that was the best steak so far , again, it was the same last night. Even the fact that the plates are full, hot, we plenty of peas. Chips and the onions wer...
