Called in here for a couple of drinks as I used to come here many years ago after I had been horse riding next door... the place was Quiet not many in and the bar man was laughing and joking with a couple of regulars sitting at the bar the mile high club was mentioned smutty I waited for a Hello or a Hi but no nothing... my partner ordered a pint and I asked if they did a house double vodka? The reply was No! We're not that sort of a pub?? What on earth does that mean? If you want a double vodka then that's what you order he stated... how rude and obnoxious not to mention expensive £10.20 but let us off with the 20p... in this day and age with most businesses struggling to survive you would...
We are still waiting for the owner to provide us with an explanation and apology! We tried to contact them multiple times but have not received a response. We booked a two-night stay at the Vane Arms and were given rooms located behind the pub in the car park. The first night, the fire alarm woke us up at 3am. We were left standing in the rain and darkness for approximately 15 minutes without any guidance or assistance from the staff. The following evening, the fire alarm went off again around 1.15am, causing further disruptions. Despite the inconvenience, we did not receive any communication from the owners regarding the incidents. We found the lack of fire or emergency procedures in the ro...
Arrived to find an almost empty pub. The pleasant young lady serving turned out to be the only good feature of the day. Started off with a flat pint of butter which did not bode well. My starter of calamari was so over cooked, sorry deep fried, that it was barely edible. For main course I had gammon which was bland and only just off being raw in places. My partner had the”Meatless Roast” which was basically a plateful of vegetables! Brocolli undercooked, carrot overcooked, mash potato awful and a few roast potatoes. Both of us left half the food on our plates. In summary the worst meal that I have had in a long, long time.
Seeing as my review was removed I will try again! Stay away. I went to the so called “quiz night” and it was awful. You would have found a better atmosphere in a morgue. Hardly any there, no music, vile smell and it was dirty. I use to frequent the pub before lockdown and it was fantastic. It has apparently changed hands since and not for the better. I will definitely not be going back. The smell and filth were enough to put me off my beer let alone dreary feel to the place. Very sad to say that I will not be recommending a once lovely pub

We had booked a table for four for 2pm here after a visit to NT Lyveden New Bield. Our order was taken very promptly in plenty of time before the kitchen closed at 2.30 as I had been told but we then had to wait nearly an hour for the food to arrive. It was good when it did come but again when we requested the dessert menu, it did not arrive and my husband had to fetch it himself. All in all a decent meal but spoiled by the appalling service. A good job we hadn't seen our friends in a while and had plenty to talk about!
Staff pleasantOn approach outside tables were left with containers filled with cigarette buts perhaps from the night before hygiene very poor table had already been booked but on arrival no table ready no cutlery no glasses no body to be seen in the barPlace empty Gordon Ramsey would have turned on his heels and RAN As far as Sunday lunch was concerned the food was disastrous don’t go on previous reviews they refer to previous owners Sorry to have to do this
Terrible hygiene, sticky unclean table, animal hair everywhere and a disgusting smell of cat wee and cigarette smoke. The food was ok at best. Would never recommend this pub again, which is sad to say as we frequented the pub when the last owner was there. The good reviews are most definitely due to the last landlord. AVOID
We had a fantastic Burns Night experience. The traditional piping in of the haggis and the diverse Scottish menu were perfect for all tastes. Thank you for a truly wonderful evening.

Great service and impromptu live music while having a lovely meal. Not crowded, great value and good wholesome food.
Sadly closed at the moment, so need to go oin the future, which I am sure it will be fine in BBs village.
