We stopped here on our way from London and I can confidently say this was the best meal I’ve ever had in a restaurant (not just a pub).
The place has parking, it’s super cosy and the staff is lovely. I wish I lived close-by to visit every week. Well worth the drive in future.
I would highly recommend the chef specials! I’ve been raving on since my visit and cannot wait to be back. Getting hungry while writing this review.

The food was delicious and very well priced, and the staff were very friendly. The setting is also very beautiful with many nice places to walk nearby. No complaints at all - highly recommend.

When we turned up, the outside looked a bit shabby and I wondered if we should drive away. But, inside was clean and cosy, with a warm welcome. The food was REALLY good. There were 3 of us in the group and we had different meals - all were presented nicely, tasted amazing and were good sized portions. Even though a bit of a drive away, we will be back. I will take photos next time!
Update: been back. Just as good. Photos of starters only. Thai fish cakes & Tempura prawns. Lovely.
UPDATE Sept '24. Returned as a party of 8. The outside has been painted and looks more welcoming. The food inside has remained a high standard. We all had different meals and were even advised one of the choices was VERY hot before accepting the order. The meals and staff were lovely. One of the best restaurants around. Photo is mixed starter for 2.

We ordered a variety of dishes for takeaway and the service was quick and they kindly made adjustments for us, as we're vegetarian.

Our little cousin tried Thai Food for the first time and even though she's usually a (very) picky eater, she liked it!
