Following a long journey to Stoke by Nayland, we found this quaint pub in the village and decided to go for lunch here. This country pub features everything you could want with a log fire near the entrance, a nice bar with plenty of variety and it has its own wine “cellar” type room! My partner and I decided to grab a bite to eat, ordering the flat ironed steak, accompanied with steak cut chips, garlic mushrooms and a garlic sauce, and I ordered the steak and mushroom pie, accompanied with freshly steamed veg and a dollop of mash. Both plates arrived promptly and the food on both plates was superb, tasted fresh and locally sourced. The added bonus was the chef singing I’m a believer in the b...
We have had occasional family meals here over the past 15 years this particular day I could tell the business has either changed ownership or management as the experience was not great . We are used to excellence not just ok. Service was poor and slow with no real friendly relations , had to go up and ask what soup of the day was as nobody told us. we were not offered more drinks and had been sat empty for over an hour ! That’s your loss not ours and food was only just mediocre .its a shame as we have always loved this place. Bathroom facilities are not up to usual standards either . Hopefully it was just a one off.
Giving this a 3 but it was purely the delay and apparent chaos in the kitchen. It appeared that they had misjudged the impact of COVID and the eat out to help out scheme. The food when it came was delicious but there was confusion over what items were still in the menu- they ran out of a number of things. But at all times we were kept informed and apologies were numerous . Think it was just bad timing and that once the current COVID climate settles down that this will revert to being a 5 review. Garden was lovely to sit in and eat in- well spaced out tables inside
My wife and myself ate here on two occasions during a local stay. On each occasin the food was excellent. Of good quality and well cooked. If we had found the place sooner we would have eaten here more often. The staff were without exception friendly and helpful. Very comfortable surroundings and the background music is, unusually, in the background. It is necessary to register ones car in the car park and the staff ensure that customers are aware of this. We rally enjoyed our visits to this place.

Lovely restaurant with great views of the Dedham vale. Good choice from menu we went at lunchtime). Fixed price set menu for two or three course,a fish menu and general choices, covers all dietary permutations. If weather fine then outside seating some smoke free tables which was great for those of us who don’t like being down wind of the puffers). Staff polite,welcoming and helpful.
We enjoyed an unhurried experience here at the weekend with friends and family. The menu offers a great selection of traditional food and a good selection of fish for those who don’t fancy meat. We enjoyed the wine recommendation with our meal and they do offer an extensive list. Desert was delicious as was the cheeseboard.
Great food. Steak and fish and chips were delicious. Previously had the liver and roasts and they are also lovely. Staff are always friendly and service is good. They are also dog friendly both outside and in areas within the restaurant. Always a welcoming and lovely meal when we come here
We stayed on July 16th for two nights the the safety measures in the hotel were tip top.we dined in the restaurant on both nights. The food was top quality as usual. And the stay safe measures were brilliant,.
