Went here with my partner for dinner on a Tuesday evening, it was fairly quiet in the restaurant and we were served quickly, we had the bread sharing platter to start and the kangaroo steak and black pudding stuffed steaks for mains, They were both presented very well and tasted very nice! It was great to have a choice of unusual meats (kangaroo, wild boar etc..) on the menu. I would definitely recommend and will be returning myself. The only bad points I could make and the reason for missing a star was the staff were slow and it took ages to get the bill.
WWet here for my wife's birthday last night. What a change. Food was fantastic, selection although small was very high end and not what you would expect in a town pub. I had the escargot and blue shark. While my partner had the prawns and a sirloin. All were dispatched from the kitchen promptly and we're excellent, although to my preference the chips were over cooked only criticism I could give. A great night was had by all.
Lovely atmosphere and incredibly polite and welcoming staff. We visited this evening for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, the staff were impeccable, the food was amazing and we all had an amazing evening. We will absolutely be visiting again. Highly recommended.
This was chosen as a convenient overnight stop to avoid driving after a party. The room was comfortable with, had a fridge, microwave and television. There was a slight drain smell on arrival but this dispersed after a couple of flushes of the toilet. The host was only spoken to by intercom and telephone but was very accommodating with all requests and polite at all times. Should there have been a hotel run by one of the larger low price chains, within walking distance of our visit, we would have chosen it.
Dating from the 17th century, this traditional inn with B&B lodging is 7.4 miles from the National Trust-owned Dyrham Park and 10.5 miles from Bristol city centre.
