We had the pleasure of visiting this pub a few years ago and being in the area recently we thought we would visit again. How disappointed we were. It used to be a lovely little pub, warm, cosy, charming and full of character. It felt like a proper old English pub. Now however under new management it has changed and not for the better. It now feels just like any other modern, generic gastro pub. All of the charm and character has either been ripped out or covered over, it may as well be a Weatherspoons. We feel as though it has lowered the tone of the village. The food was OK but it feels as though the chef has got ideas above his station and forgotten that this is a small country pub, and not a Michelin star restaurant. Overpriced, small portions of somewhat pretentious food. The staff seemed nice enough, but overall we were hugely disappointed with our visit. The soul of the place has died, it's such a shame.
