 This pub has got appalling staff, I have been visiting this pub regularly for over 20 years and have recently come to the conclusion it has gone down hill! I never thought I would say this but the Rose & Crown is shocking and I shall not be visiting ever again. Big disappointment.

Lovely pub, steeped in history with intimate winding rooms, surrounded by open countryside. Fabulous views from gardens and forecourt, decent sized car park, food very reasonable with basic vegetarian options (of the leave out the meat and add some cheese variety, but fine), staff very friendly and helpful. Smoked mackerel pate starter is fabulous, filled Yorkshire puddings, beautifully cooked beef.
Kids will love the many peacocks in the garden, rabbits in the field and small play area (swings and climbing frame). Just be warned if you are vegetarian or into animal welfare you may not like the array of stuffed animals and birds. Fascinating for young kids though!
All said, this is our favourite pub, especially if you can go in the week when it is quieter... it is a bikers and hikers favourite! We go whenever we can for a relaxing meal, and when we are jaded by the abundant modern, soulless establishments available elsewhere. Be prepared to sat nav it when you find it, as it took us 6 months to find it again after stumbling across it by accident the first time.

Pretty good pub by all standards. There's usually a nice mix of students and locals, with a good atmosphere.
There are pool tables, lots of space to relax, the drinks are cheaper than most places and the staff are pretty friendly.
Not the best pub in the world, but it's certainly a good one.

The Blue Ball has everything you need.
Brilliant Sports Room and nice cosy snug. Large open fire in the winter. Very clean and nicely decorated. Sky TV and lovely hosts in Julie and Chris.
Well worth a visit.

This is the worst run public house I have ever seen, filthy floors, rude staff and embarrassingly obviously microwaved meals. The management team should strive towards running a respectable establishment rather than dish out these sub standard meals to the minimal customers who visit.
A truly awful place.

This is not a review, more like publicity for the pub and for the band Riffler who are playing there on Saturday 4th July. A bunch of seasoned rock musicians playing stuff from the 70s, 80s and some contemporary rock music. Come and support the pub, who are trying to re-establish a thriving pub with an emphasis on live music.

A nice old fashioned family pub at the edge of the village overlooking the green. The landlord and landlady make you feel really welcome and the service is great!
They have a large beer garden with a play area for the kids and a large lawn. The selection of drinks is good and they have real ale on tap. They don't do food though. One of their rooms can be hired for functions with or without buffet style food.
We happened to stumble across this one on a nice sunny day, and if it where anywhere near me I would definitely make it my local!

We use the Peacock fairly regularly and on most occasions have been very satisfied. Only once when the place was very crowded did we have to wait an age before being served.
Generally the food quality is good if not spectacular.
Just returned this evening after a single main course meal that was good.

From the outside the building looks beautiful and it has fantastic views when sitting outside. The inside of the building is also very nice and homely and clean. However, the food really doesn't live up to expectations.
The menu reads very nicely and you conjure up an image of what you think it may resemble when it arrives at the table. When the food came it was so very disappointing. The starter of "roasted field mushrooms with camembert and a garlic breadcrumb crust" was in fact 2 soggy breakfast mushrooms with hardly any cheese on, and only one of them was sprinkled with the breadcrumbs. The cost - £4.40! They did remove them from the bill after complaining.
The mains were very poor, too. Mixed grill was rubbery and the fried egg was not runny and flowing into your steaks, it was hard as if it had been made earlier then re-heated. The Moroccan spiced lamb burger had no inkling of spice, was served between 2 pieces of flatbread about 3" x 5" and a bowl of sweet potato wedges, now the funny bit - £8.80!
I would go in for a drink and to enjoy the scenery, but would certainly not eat in there again.

Three friends and myself had a very disappointing meal at the carvery in the Crosspool Tavern this past Monday evening.
We arrived at 7PM and were told there was no turkey or gammon left, which only left beef. Even though that wasn't our first choice, we all took the beef since there was no alternative. The beef was so tough that we were all unable to eat it. This is the second time this has happened to us at this restaurant, and we will definitely not be going back again for our twice-yearly get-togethers.
We would rather pay more for our meals, and be able to enjoy them.
