The Gardeners is a lovely local pub with a great atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff. The front garden is a real highlight, especially on a sunny day, making it the perfect place to enjoy a drink outdoors. A relaxed spot with a great vibe that I’d happily return to.

What a letdown! My friend suggested this pub and wanted to book a table for Christmas. Instead, we ended up eating at home and decided to visit on Boxing Day. Everyone in the pub looked happy, and the vibe was very laid-back. The staff seemed attentive and committed to their work at the bar. I ordered a meal that appeared appetizing, but it was cold, so I asked for a warm one. The staff were very polite and apologetic. When my meal came back, it looked mushy; all they did was take the food off the plate and rearrange it on a new one. Since it seems to be a family-run business, I didn’t want to bring anyone down, so I didn’t take a picture of the mess they served me. I was really hungry because my friend and I had gone for a walk, so I chose to eat the food. My friend waited an hour for her meal, but it never came, so she requested a refund. It's such a shame because I was really hoping the food would be amazing. The halloumi cheese starter was good, especially with the chicken strip, but everything else was bland and just warm.

A wonderful, welcoming and very friendly pub. John and Lynn have turned this pub into the destination for both the local community and for visitors to the area. I am a regular customer, and I love going to the weekly Pub Quiz (every Tuesday, from 19h30), hosted by Simone. Great fun, and always a one-off question list (no standardized event doing a pub circuit !). Great atmosphere, great food, drinks and service !!! Frederic Daubechies

Visited with my mum and had a lovely experience overall. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, especially one young lady who genuinely did everything she could to help us throughout our visit. The food was tasty and enjoyable. Unfortunately, service from the kitchen was very slow, and it felt like the team was struggling to keep up. Despite the staff’s best efforts, the waiting times for food were longer than expected. One small disappointment was the fried chicken strips. At £7.50, the portion felt very poor value for money as it consisted of only three small pieces of chicken. That said, the friendliness and professionalism of the front-of-house team really stood out and made a positive impression.
