Went here with a group of 5 for a Saturday lunch. The restaurant was busy. Upon receiving my main meal of mushroom gnocchi (which very surprisingly didn't have any actual gnocchi dumplings in it at all) I started eating and found every diners worst nightmare, a long black hair within the food. I called the waitress over who uttered a... More

Just to say our visit to The Staff of Life on April 20th was lovely. The staff were pleasant and helpful, our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The evening meal was delicious as was our breakfast. Kaye the landlady was friendly and we would like to say thankyou to her and all her staff for a most enjoyable stay. More

Sorry but the only other report I've submitted to TripAdvisor was very positive. My wife and I went here for lunch today. We both ordered a salmon, prawn and avocado starter which was fine if a little overpriced at £6.25. I then ordered a "Greek salad with chicken supreme". This consisted of a bed of green leaves (admittedly fresh), plus... More

Went for lunch on Easter Sunday and place was nicely laid out. Good beer but limited wine list. Service ok, usual young people from the village. Food was ok but nothing special, didn't have the bad experiences of earlier reviewers. However, website says it's £12.50 for two courses on a Sunday lunch but they had increased it to £19.99 for...

Called in for lunch with my wife and daughter. Even though it was not busy we waited 40 minutes then, with still no sign of food, went to the bar to ask what was happening. Was informed that the food was being plated. When it arrived it was absolutely awful. My daughter's fish pie was mostly baked on down the... More

Went for a meal.. My partner had gammon which was more grissle than gammon and i had the 21 day matured steak which was also discusting as was dripping with water and had no flavor what so ever. The chips we both had looked asthough they been fried in dirty fat that hadn't been changed in a good while... Nobody... More

Had a lovely lunch on New Year's Eve. We hadn't booked and were lucky to get a table. Diners arriving after us weren't as lucky and several were turned away. Very relaxed atmosphere and efficient staff. We were greeted with the menu of the day and a selection of cask ales. Menu hinted there may be a wait for food... More

I used to have a drink & a meal here occasionally. Food became less appealing as the new landlord/lady like to "cook" mostly out of a tin/packet/microwave NOT home cooked. I know this as I have known people who have worked there. This place really has gone down hill. Nobody in there after 9:00pm most nights due to terrible and... More
