   The Sunday lunch was the best I’d had at any restaurant recently The service was faultless with great attention from all the waiting staff I would recommend it and will certainly be going back again

   Had a very enjoyable experience at our Christmas lunch. Table was pleasantly dressed and not cramped. Table service was polite and attentive, but not OTT. Food was delicious, hot, and all served together (5) Nothing to complain about, and feeling very full as we left, which can't be a bad thing 😁

   Welcoming pub with good food selection, tasty and very good value as £12 mains on a Tuesday. Very busy but good atmosphere and attentive but not intrusive service. Will be back.

   Our 4 roast meals today were greatly enjoyed, chicken x 2, lamb and pork, all of ample amounts and on hot plates with extra gravy provided. Puddings...ice cream, creme brulee, 'boozy' tiramisu and ice cream sundae also delicious. Will call in during the week to pay for the drinks which had been missed off the bill!! Peter K

   The food was delicious, always excellent burgers, and the butternut squash red Thai curry was outstanding.

   We had a lovely Xmas meal at the Kings Head. The flavour of the food was excellent and everything on the plate well balanced. The cranberry and orange sauce was delightful.

   Disappointing dinner. Despite confirming our Christmas menu choices by email, when our party arrived we were told they had no notification we were having the Christmas menu. We waited for another half an hour and I had to find a waitress to get some drinks for the table. Food arrived and was mediocre with small portions. The vegetable tart in particular was so small it looked like a starter! My friend had to ask for vegetables to bulk it out. Another diner's confit duck leg was totally dry and difficult to eat. There was no Christmas ambience and the table was bare of any crackers or anything remotely Christmassy. The staff were polite but uninterested. We did get a small reduction in the cost because of the mix up re the Christmas menu but we all left feeling disappointed. Not a good experience at all.

    Wonderful village pub with good quality food. Good value for money, lovely vibrant bar with a quieter restaurant if you prefer. Been numerous of times, really consistent.
