Can’t wait to return already, food was amazing! Service was so quick. Great selection of well-made cocktails too.

Wonderful experience. We booked an outdoor cabin in the garden, which was ideal with a little one. The food was wonderful, great menu, quality & value. Staff were friendly & helpful. Service was hindered by strong winds, which was the downside of a garden cabin. Otherwise a wonderful Sunday dinner experience.

A place to end up with your dog after a good walk.I just sat down and enjoyed a pint of ale.Had a good chat with a couple of locals and that's always nice.It looks a good place to eat with open kitchen area so you can see the chef preparing your food.A few steps to look out for in the pub so I took a photo to show there are visible warning signs.Nice and comfortable decoration, garden area for the summer days and simple bar.

The food here is superb. Cooked to perfection. Good strong flavours and decent portions. Yorkshire puds were crispy and soft in all the right places. The meat was tender and tasty.We had one slow cooked beef Sunday lunch, and one slow cooked pork Sunday lunch, with a side of cauliflower cheese. For dessert we had Creme Brulee. Just the one between us because the portions for the main were that good.It's a very attractive modern venue with a indoor and outdoor eating. A cosy traditional area and a conservatory which was full of natural light. The furnishings were smart and tasteful. Lively atmosphere. Was obviously a place to be. Popular.This venue really deserves full marks as a pub venue but for two small details. The plates on the marble tables, in the conservatory, kept slipping about. A little but funny to start but I wasn't certain my dinner wouldn't go flying. The other detail was the staff. They worked hard and were attentive but I barely saw a smile. Maybe it was a hard day.

This is a long, detailed but honest review. The young people looking after us were great, very good and very apologetic when issues arose. Made the best of what they'd got, a credit to you. Lovely place, returned in a part of group of 6 after a successful visit some time ago. We booked a pod on a Friday evening for 8, having been advised to wear warm clothing as it was a particularly cold evening, this we did, layering up & keeping our coats on! Pathways were ice but unsalted/gritted. Pods are lovely, overhead heater, comfortable seating & table but although trousers & boots on was cold & draughty on legs/feet, would bring a blanket next time! Initial Drinks 40 min wait, ran out of wine glasses too, supplied when finished with by others, meal came very late too after lots of confusion as to what was unavailable. Pie not available, smear of tartare for fish as ran out, food was good although a bit cold, maybe a cover from kitchen to pod would be best. Normally we would have had dessert and coffee but it became too late so we didn't bother this time. We did still have a lovely night, being in great company, catching up as a group.1st Friday night on December at 8 is a very popular time, when we arrived, the car park was very busy, which we took as a great sign of popularity, but this time we were a little disappointed, expecting the Bluebell to come up trumps. There appeared to be enough staff etc so unsure what the problem was. Would love to try again with better luck next time with our experience as good food & lovely surroundings.

Came here as I was staying 5 mins up the roadGreat atmosphere, vintage old pubNice layout with great building characteristicsThe menu was decent with quite a lot on offerFood came and it was ok. Would of preferred the fish a bit more cooked and with the salmon the oppositeTucked in and it was ok. Nothing special. You can tell the food is fresh. Had a few undercooked chips.Tbh I should’ve gone for the masala salmon as wellLooked better than mineWhen your paying £20 for fish and chips I think I was just expecting a-bit more attention to detailService was good tho and place was clean. Loved the tables. Seemed like marble and weren’t sticky. I hate sticky tables.

Really good quality pub meal. Menu was packed with interesting choices and had extensive vegan/vegetarian options which was very welcome. You can choose to eat in the bar, door room orangery or in a private garden room. Orangery seems to be the popular choice. Large car park, electric charging available. Great service, super food. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend! Greeted with a nice friendly smile. This place is stunning inside and feels so cosy and relaxing to sit in! The food is amazing... Best chips ever!! Despite it feeling high-end, it is very reasonably priced! I will be definitely returning! An extra bonus was that I got exactly what I asked for, a burger with no mustard sauce or salad!
