What a gem!!! Lived in the area for a few years. Can't believe I hadn't heard of this place. Quintessential English pub. Humming and busy. Staff were helpful and attentive without being overbearing. Dinner was freshly cooked and tasty. The salt cod and chorizo fish cakes were incredible. Garlic mushrooms on toast was great. Mushrooms not overcooked. But strong garlic taste. The Beef Wellington was perfect. The liver and bacon was great. Why then only 4 stars for food? The creamy leek side was rather watery and disappointing when compared to the Wellington. And the chips were a little soft. Cooked well. But soft. Maybe 3 times cooked chips would be better. But that's my personal taste. Will definitely revisit. Recommend you do too. But make sure you book. You'll need to.

Just had a lovely Sunday dinner at the Elm tree. It was one of family members 70th birthday celebration and everyone was raving about how good food was. Everything was perfectly cooked, the portion sizes were generous and the service was exceptional. Sorry I didn’t get the name of our wait staff but she was lovely and very attentive. My child and one of the family members have nut allergies and they were very careful with it too. Being able to use the private room upstairs without paying extra was a nice touch. Also dog friendly. Thank you so much and your pub has gone on top of my foodie list😊

Beautiful little place,out the way. The food was beautiful, and fantastic service throughout. Food was piping hot even though we had a party of around 20 people with kids. 10-10.

Excellent lunch with friendly attentive service. Good menu and very nice ales and cider on the bar.

Well what a little find this was. Recommended by Coloured Cob Equestrian Centre we went for an evening meal. Would never have known it was there otherwise. Lovely old traditional building with a massive beer garden overlooking the open country side and nice seating area at side of pub as well. Bet it's lovely for a drink on a warm day. Staff area really friendly and a good menu choice at reasonable prices. Only grumble we had is it was very warm in the pub but they opened a window for us. Just don't go in a vest and jumper. Have you say the food was impressive tasty and well presented. We ordered a few side dishes which whilst lovely weren't needed as portions are generous. It's a bit of a trek from where we live but we will be back with friends.
