Great village pub.

I’d heard very good things about the new management.The service was friendly, the food was absolutely brilliant. Good wholesome pub food. I had the steak pie which was lovely, with a lovely rich gravy. All plates cleared. We will definitely return, I think if this is the standard, the other pubs in the area should be worried. Thanks again. We will definitely return.

Found a little gem

I could see the Chef in the kitchen & great smelling dishes coming past us. I ordered a pint of lager & a pink gin & tonic for the other half. We sat down ordered & I went for fillet steak stroganoff & Bev went for two starters Garlic mushrooms & Potato skins. All three dishes where obviously freshly cooked & past delicious we all sampled each other’s food & where more than impressed. Our food was outstanding & my other half said at the table we are coming back here.

Brilliant night

As always the food and service were excellent, we were a party of 5 and everyone enjoyed their meals, excellent value at £10.00 for a main in a Tuesday with a quiz and bingo, couldn't ask for a better night.

Brilliant experience

7 of us went for a few drinks and a bite to eat. It didn’t disappoint from walking through the door. The staff were so friendly, the service was perfect. The food was out of this world. Will definitely be back and really looking forward to it!

Amazing food

Myself and my husband visited tonight for food. I have to say the food was absolutely amazing! It was fresh, piping hot and oozing with flavour. A lot of effort went into creating the food we ate and we very much enjoyed our visit. It was midweek so we wasn’t expecting a large crowded atmosphere but those that were in filled the room with laughter and happiness which is really nice to see. We have decided to return on our next evening off together to try some of the other items on the menu.

Christmas visit

Stayed for two nights Christmas Eve and Christmas day. A very warm welcome and Cardiffd in. Lovely relaxing bar area to enjoy a pint or two, we had dinner in the courtyard which had been transformed into a Winter wonderland seating area, warm heaters and blankets are supplied if it's chilly. We ordered dinner with a very competent waitress, the food was superb. After a restful sleep we woke and went down for breakfast, good choice and again very tasty.

Tasty!!

Nipped in for a quick drink the other day and ended up having lunch. Food was great, everything we had was ‘pub grub’ but elevated with presentation and tasted great. Definitely one of our favourite places to visit and the patisserie is sublime. Thank you.

Warm, welcoming and friendly.

I rarely write reviews unless somewhere really stands out (good or bad). This little pub is just exceptional! We'd rented out a small cottage in Stainforth and popped in to this pub on the first evening for a quick drink with our two small boys (4 and 8). By the time I'd ordered a second drink for my wife and I we'd had already had several laughs, the landlord (Mark) had shook my hand and we were on first name terms. I don't think we've ever felt so welcomed in such a short amount of time.

Definitely come again.

All the staff are extremely friendly and make everyone feel totally welcome. The food we had was top notch and apparently all home cooked. I had the curry off the menu and my wife had the chicken stew with dumplings from the chalkboard. We didn’t leave a speck on our plates. On top of that we got to park our camper for nothing overnight. What more can you ask for. Oh by the way, it’s in a lovely part of Lancashire. Don’t just take my word for it, go and try it yourself.
