   All three courses were excellent,flavoursome and beautifully presented.What made this such a lovely experience was the staff superb friendly service very attentive.My Birthday plate with treats was a very nice ending to the meal.Have eaten a few times before but moved away during COVID.Well worth travelling back to visit for my special day worth the journey.

   Food and service excellent. Really liked that the waiter asked if the stairs would be okay for my mum to manage as she walks with a stick. He also helped her down them. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

   A wonderful meal, great service and a lovely afternoon. Only slight niggle was that sitting right next to the open fire was uncomfortable and two of our table of four were sweating. We moved to the bar to have our after meal coffee as we couldn't tolerate being at the table any more. Other than that, it was perfect

   I wouldn’t suggest this pub for vegetarians, my wife ordered a soufflé as a main from the starter menu but was told she couldn’t have that as a main, so we ordered 2 of the pithivier. I am not sure what arrived but it was not like any Pithivier I have had, more like raw pasta (and I don’t mean al dente!) Suffice to say we had to leave that, we were asked was there anything else they could get for us, this time my wife was allowed to leave the soufflé! Which she did enjoy. We noted that we were charged in full for the two meals we couldn’t eat, but not surprised, we were however a tad surprised that they charged for the soufflé as they asked was there something else they could get for us. We also had to pay a service charge on top! I will say though that the pub itself is lovely, nice small rooms with lovely fires.

   We had just returned from family trip and decided to have dinner out rather than cook, so we dropped down to the Duncombe Arms it turned out to be a good decision. We had he Venison Shepard's Pie which was very good and a glass of red from their excellent wine list. It was a Monday night so very quiet but an enjoyable evening.
