Reviews
Old pub, new management. We came along unannounced on a dark winter’s evening and had a very warm welcome - not only from the new owners but from their 3-dog entourage (a pointer, ‘Smartie’, and an accompanying duo of dachshunds). I had a burger and unusually was asked how I would like it, like they do in France with steak haché, which was a nice touch. It was extremely good, chunky pickled gherkins and all. My partner enjoyed a crispy chunk of salmon too. We wish The Old Yew Tree much luck!
Busy Bank Holiday weekend, garden full even at 12:30 I told my friend to book just in case and glad we did. I've eaten here on a number of occasions and never been disappointed. Today was no exception, the staff are friendly and the food is generally a high standard, not too cheap but good portions and tasty sauces, whatever some negative reviewers might say. I first came here in the early 1980's when it was a much smaller pub with a small counter by the corner and people playing domino's and shove Ha penny at the bar or cribbage! It's got bags of character and simple seating with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Be sure to ring and book just in case! Great place to start or end a walk from! Often full of walkers and cyclists as well as car trade! Small car park at rear of property, if you have elderly or disabled guests drop them off before parking as the pub is located overlooking the former quarry pits in the valley below!
We’re big fans of the yew tree and first time dining under new ownership. It was lovely and chilled atmosphere, good portion size and friendly service. They were super accommodating of my dietary allergy too. We had a lovely experience and with Hannah and Richard all the best on their new venture! Looking forward to coming back soon!
Never disappoints. Fantastic food again. Ribeye, Steak Pie, Chicken wrapped with blue cheese, treacle tart, sticky toffee pudding to name but a few. Highly recommended and great service Bonifee dessert was lovely too.
We stumbled across this little gem after a university open day. The pub is stuck in the past with parking facilities, a nice back garden and a lovely menu. Service was outstanding as well. be aware do not accept amex. Anyway all thumbs up
