This was our first visit the the restaurant. My first impression on going through the door was slight disappointment as I expected it to look very different from when it was previously the pub. However the food was amazing every single thing we ordered was gorgeous and my husband is very picky S not many decent Chinese restaurants/takeaways around. The service was excellent the two girls were attentive when needed and nothing too much trouble. Will definately be goi v again.

We all enjoyed our meal which was served by a very friendly South African lady. We recommend the pork belly or steak and ale pie, both of which were delicious. A lovely old pub in a quiet village with good car parking. Overall an excellent experience.

What a wonderful find! I met a friend that lives in Oxford so meeting here is about half way as I’m based in Salisbury. The food was so delicious and the ambience was perfect. I will be back again as I’m sure my husband would love it too. Thanks for hosting us today.

Staff were very good - our server paid particular attention to my fussy eater Grandson to make sure he was enjoying his food and offering him alternatives. Food was great and we all enjoyed it. Perhaps add a dessert that’s dairy free - the polenta cake was a bit grainy!

We had a lovely meal at the Farmhouse. It’s been a while since we have eaten here as we normally drink here regularly. The menu was varied and we really enjoyed the Camembert sharing starter & all main meals were really good. I love my pork belly main & the ham hock pie off the specials board was also enjoyed. A very enjoyable evening with friends.
