Visited on Mother's Day -originally had an outside table booked but the weather changed and we were accommodated inside. Simon and his staff were very welcoming, attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and we can't wait to go again.

We went on a Sunday for my partners birthday. I'm a vegetarian so we had the nut roast. The food was incredible although the actual nut roast wasn't the best one I've had. Couldn't fault anything else! I would say that where we were sat we could hear a lot of conversation between the staff.

Only stopped for a drink but it was heaving despite being between meal times. Will definitely return for food and then again in summer for a drink.

Lovely friendly staff from the moment we checked in to when we left. Had a ground floor room which we had requested with outside access for our dog. Very clean and all essentials provided. Had dinner which was delicious and they brought a special treat for our dog for breakfast! Would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing stay here. Accommodation was excellent, very spacious exceptionally clean. Everything we could need for our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food in the restaurant was excellent, all freshly prepared and cooked. Continental breakfast had great choices with fresh out of the oven croissants. We only stayed for one night, wish it could have been longer. Will definitely return for another stay.

What a Sunday lunch! Attended The Winning Post with family and honestly, the food and service were top-notch. FYI, the Yorkshire Puddings are epic! Highly recommend it- look forward to visiting again soon.

Sunday lunch today was absolutely fabulous. Every item on the plate tasted wonderful. Real gravy nothing out of a plastic bag! Staff fabulous and chefs amazing- thank you.

Food was good but we waited over an hour for our main course as many other reviewers have mentioned. No apology or even recognition that we'd waited so long - just an excuse that the kitchen was "very busy" when clearly it wasn't. It's a shame because it's a nice pub and good food let down by poor customer service. Again as other reviewers have noted.
