Excellent service and food we enjoyed our visit!”

We arrived at the end of the Sunday roast service and although the staff should have been worn down they were still polite and positive, 4 steaks on our table and they were all excellent

Sunday dinner. Great pub in a nice location. Food and service very good. Recommend the veggie Sunday Roast and the ‘apple desert’

A truly excellent meal with delicious food and friendly, efficient service. We were delighted with our choices of steak pie and fish pie - exceptional examples of these classics.

The School House is a lovely cosy spot for breakfast with super friendly staff - we loved the play corner for kids. This is our second time visiting (the first being 2 years ago). However, we were left a bit disappointed this time round at the food. The pancakes served to my daughter and I were extremely dry (crispy on the outside too? Maybe reheated by frying?). I was also amazed to see my portion (2 small pancakes) was the same size as my daughters kids version despite being double the price. There was a tiny amount of fruit and honey on top. For £9 this was really terrible value. I would have asked for more honey to help with how dry they were but the only staff member serving was run off her feet and we’d already had to get her attention to ask where my husbands hash browns and beans were (left off a £15 breakfast!!). Comparing it to the generous portion my daughter got of fresh cooked pancakes filled with fruit and ice cream 2 years previous we were super disappointed. My daughter had to cover hers in butter to make them edible. I should say my husbands cooked breakfast despite being expensive was well cooked and tasty. Maybe it’s just the pancakes (and slow service) that needs improving. Sadly it’s put us off coming back - we don’t mind paying those prices if the food is great but it just wasn’t.

Staff amazing, food fantastic but marred by lack of staff, we had to wait 45 mins till food was served

We visited August 15 th Atmosphere was lovely - staff were friendly and attentive . Nice and clean surroundings. We all enjoyed the food and better still it was dog friendly .

The food was absolutely delicious. Good atmosphere, although a little noisy as we were next to a family with 4 young children. there were some new staff on the evening that we went, and one of them definitely needs some training in customer service. The rest of the staff were friendly and helpful as always.

Fantastic meal in a delightful pub and very pleasant, helpful staff.

First time visiting with our teenagers and dog. The restaurant was lovely and inviting. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was divine! The portion sizes were just right. I have never tasted fillet steak like it before - it’s was cooked to perfection. The Apple pie was the best that my other half has ever had. We would definitely book again!!!!

A really lovely family meal on holiday and to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Two OAPs, three mid-30s, and an 8, 6 and 2 year old were welcomed and fed well. Good beer too! Nice atmosphere and good communication. Will definitely hope to return in the future, thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal...it was very tasty..

Amazing meal on Thursday. Couldn’t fault a thing. Staff, setting, food all brilliant!

I ordered Fish Pie and it was delicious...very good service.

Warm welcome and lovely food. Thank you.

Amazing food and staff made us all feel very welcome. Dog friendly and they were so accommodating to my 6 month old puppy who was out for her first meal time outing! Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

All our food was very nice, portion sizes were a little underwhelming, scampi from the specials - 5 pieces, a cup of chips and some colesaw, all very nice but unfortunately not a filling evening meal for the price.
