This small pub is charming and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food, however, was average. My partner enjoyed the Chicken liver pate, which was bought in but tasty. I had the prawn cocktail, which was presented in a small glass tumbler. Although it was nice, the presentation was a bit odd. The peri peri chicken lacked flavor, but when I mentioned this to our server, he brought me more sauce, which unfortunately didn't improve the taste. It was more like roast chicken. My partner ordered the Wild Boar Ragu, which was stodgy and tasted like Heinz Spaghetti. The overcooked spaghetti and sauce resembled Heinz spaghetti sauce. We didn't have dessert, so can't comment on that. Overa...
Enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch when visiting the area. Both the prawn cocktail and the smoked salmon and prawn starters were fresh and tasty. The main courses were superb. We had the roast beef and the turkey and gammon both were excellent with large portions of meat, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and gravy with mixed vegetables to share with 6 different options. Typical Sunday lunch choices but very well cooked and presented. Good value for money too. We will be back.
The welcoming owners, affordable homemade food, and locally brewed beer make this place a hidden gem. I don't visit this area often, but I will definitely be returning. The small and slightly outdated bars add to its charm. The view from the garden, situated on a small hill, is lovely. Note that they only serve food on Fridays to Sundays.
Stopped here for lunch and all really enjoyed the food in the garden overlooking a pretty meadow and local fields. Would recommend the spinach and mushroom soup, served with excellent, freshly made, bread. The veggie pasta dish was also tasty and the chef made a fresh omelette for our elderly mum. Great service too. Thank you! Book a table now
Visited this community pub and brewery for sunday lunch.Perfectly cooked by chef who has great pride in his dishes.Their beer was good and friendly welcome.Just £15 for 3 courses and offers of more vegs ...but you certainly didn't need them.Will spread the word and return when we are here again
Always enjoy visiting the green man.. it's in such a quaint village and surrounding. Well worth a Sunday walk or ride to. The staff are lovely. The locals make you feel welcome and the food supplied is good and traditional And they have a local brewery too, so local wine can be experienced
Tasty and good value for money lunch on a Thursday. Apparently one week is fish and next week is meat. Roaring fire certainly enhanced the atmosphere. Would recommend.
Yesterday, we enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at the restaurant thanks to Jan and Kevin. The food was delicious and the pub had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Book a table now
Well done Greenman for putting in an amazing beer festival. Great music, fab beer. An absolutely great event just proving what a great pub this is.
Good value and lovely food. Would definitely recommend a visit. Nice pub but limited parking so could be busy at certain times.
