Food drinks: This pub has spectacular views of the countryside. Its bigger than it looks. Food was excellent. The sardine starter was super fresh.

The reviews for the restaurant are mixed, with some customers complaining about the quality of the food, pricing, and lack of apology from staff when meals were returned. However, there are also positive reviews highlighting the delicious meals, great service, and charming atmosphere of the pub. Some customers highly recommend the tasting menu at the Garden Room and the Sunday lunch at the Rose and Crown. Overall, while there are some negative experiences, there are also many positive ones making it worth a visit to see for yourself.

Prices on the high end for a pub. Well cooked food, good service. Worst cheeseboard ever. Little cheese and expensive. Friendly staff. Good wine
