This building has been in the family for over a 100 years come see this lovely building and enjoy some delicious old fashioned food. He was telling us some lovely stories about his family and how many generations have owned it and he even said the people were out with their phones measuring the difference angles of the floor it's pretty incredible. We haven't stayed in the rooms per se but I imagine there are amazing

We were told by a neighbour to try the Owls nest last January (2023) and we have been coming for Sunday lunch ever since( apart from twice for family reasons) we have a little dachshund who is very well behaved and it’s such a pleasure to be able to take her with us. The food is second to none, I would have a job to compete with the chef and I class myself as a very confident chef of good old fashioned food. This place is a gem, warm and friendly owner and staff. It is a real treat and an absolute pleasure to visit this pub.

A great independent pub. I was looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat while waiting to pick my wife up and stumbled across this place. I went for the quick option of a pub classic (scampi and chips) which was exactly as you would hope and expect. The food coming out to other tables looked excellent and it was busy with regulars which is a good sign. They have a good range of beers and even had a good range of alcohol free ales and lagers which was perfect for me. If I lived closer, I would definitely be back. The landlord and staff we very helpful and welcoming.

I've driven past this place so many times and it's always busy. We went in for a drink there once and wanted to go for a meal. We finally went with friends last night and it didn't disappoint. The food is home cooked, good portions and delicious. The girls who served us were great and it was very Christmassy so a wonderful atmosphere.My only criticism is that our table was near the door and the front door is held open (?) so the freezing cold wind comes in through the inner doors and made it unpleasantly cold. I'd ask for a different table next time but we'll definitely be going back.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. Our first time here for Sunday lunch. I suggest you don't have breakfast if you go here. The plate was full of delicious food. I had the slow cooked beef and it was the best I've ever had in a pub. My wife had a small portion of Turkey and struggled to get through it. I had Rhubarb Crumble for pudding, again the best I've ever had in a pub. The girls serving were very efficient and attentive. The pub is very old fashioned inside which does not detract from the food, service and value offered. Going back next weekend with friends.A good selection of beers available and also a dog friendly pub.

A nice, cosy pub! The staff were lovely and very attentive. The menu was good, a nice selection. I got the roast turkey, and it was fine, edible but mediocre at best

Well well. all these years I’ve driven past a little gem. My wife and I just had a lovely lunch.firstly a cosy warm welcome with a smile. The wine come to the table perfectly chilled. The waitress was charming and polite. Then our wonderful roasts arrrived. Piping hot. Perfect in every way.a proper Sunday roast. We dine out all the time at various restaraunts and pubs. This place put Burley manor to shame. We have had an appalling Xmas lunch there. Disgusting infact. Had to send the meals back. And leave. And all other meals there pretty basic in comparison to The owls nest.We had to try the apple crumble. It was apple crumble with that sugary crunchy topping I remember from home. The price was extremely good. So I felt compelled to buy the chef a drink. Our local from now on. Thankyou. Leroy & KerstinPs: can we bring our maincoon cat along. He’s on a leash and very chilled out. bigger than your lovely little dog.
