What a fantastic pub, perched on the side of a hill with views that must be amazing in the spring/summer. Highly recomended.

Went here for a new year's Day lunch after a walk round box hill. Vegan food was incredible - friends all enjoyed the burger and the vegan pie special was to die for. Honestly some of the best vegan pub food we've ever had, we were talking about it the whole way home. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back if we were in the area. Only downside was tips were cash only so we couldn't leave a tip the staff team so deserved. Thanks Eamon and all

This quaint, ancient pub is like a best kept secret, hidden away in the hillside. The reason for the 3/5 stars is the huge wait we had for our food. Even to get drinks at the start of the meal was difficult; we ended up going up to the bar to try and speed things up. We also waited a long time to place our food order, having to request attention from the servers. The staff were all friendly and nice, but we just seemed to have been forgotten. We waited a whole hour for our food to come, which, if you have children, is pretty stress-inducing!! Our table ended up a screaming, chaotic mess by the

Stopped off for a pub lunch during a hike. Had the Pie of the Day. Was absolutely delicious. Great food and service with a smile. Was really, really appreciated. One recommendation for the owner... I wanted to pay tip for the fab experience I had but was unable to do this via card payment. I would strongly recommend they sort this out. Lovely service should always be rewarded.

Nice spot, nice atmosphere. Decent enough service except the senior citizen waiter or owner, who may be a bit more friendly and a bit less repeling. The dishes are tasty.

Really charming find, a cosy pub a little up the hillside with a lot of outdoor tables, many under shelter, with great views over the valley. Tasty and well presented food, I had the Sunday Roast lamb which was tender and tasty. Really friendly and helpful team of servers. We'll definitely be back.

Gorgeous little pub tucked away from the main road, plenty of outdoor seating, SUPER friendly and efficient staff and the most delectable lamb roast Ive ever eaten. I ordered fries instead of roast potatoes and damn they were crispy. They only take cash tips so bring cash cause youll need it for this place, hats off to the staff!
