Very welcoming staff. Lovely old pub with a large indoor/outdoor garden extension, and a beer garden. Small menu but of the 6 dishes we had we enjoyed them all. Would definitely go again.

The staff, in particular the blonde man, is always so attentive and always checking in on people. Just recently the food quality has really gone up in standard and they seem really proud of that. Burger was delicious, and we love the coconut prawns and battered gherkins !

We explained that we just required a main course before seeing a film, and unfortunately didn't have much time. The staff were extremely efficient and amenable, and served exactly what we had ordered with plenty of time to spare. My wife had haddock and chips and I had crab linguine. Both dishes were sufficient and tasty. No complaints whatsoever. We would definitely eat there again.

We went for Mothers Day so it was busy. All the family enjoyed the food, we had roast dinners, and my son had fish and chips. Desserts were wonderful. Not great "gluten free" options though - gluten free shouldn't just be about removing gluten products without substituting them for something else eg., gluten free Yorkshire puddings/crispy toppings.

There wasn’t a lot on the dinner, 2 roast potatoes, half parsnip, half carrot, handful of over cooked green beans, yorky was over cooked and cold 2 pieces of bees no bigger than your biggest finger. The lamb was bland and over cooked.

Food is still great. But the front of house guy is quite manic. Even though we go there on a regular basis he never recognises us and rushes us through. A real shame. Need to see more of the Russell style which is much more relaxed. We won’t return now for a while.

We love dining at this pub, the place always has a great feel to it, the staff are always welcoming and very friendly. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because unfortunately my beetroot mash was pretty tastless and just stodgy also my pie was very doughy, the rest was all great especially the cod cheeks......Will definitely visit again soon

Amazing food - really high quality and generous portions. The staff are always so helpful and polite as well as being fun. Between our party of 4 the dishes we had were oysters, cod cheeks, mackerel pate, fish and chips and crab linguine. All were superb. Can highly recommend for food and drink.

I will return and recommend to others. First time visitor for family birthday. Lots of family fear over covid before Christmas but had a good time and all 5 felt cautiously relaxed and did not feel threatened as staff properly masked and tables satisfactorily far apart for us. Pub style food better than our expectations and all enjoyed the Sunday baked cheese starter and 5 different mains (across special and Xmas menu) all entirely finished so good indication of quality and taste. Service warm and friendly and crackling log fire added to the ambiance.

We were here for a small Christmas do, with a range of ages from 8ish to 50ish. There were things on the menu for everyone. The staff couldn't be more helpful or attentive, and the outside seating was lovely and cozy. Will be certainly looking to go back when I'm next in the area.
