We had spent some time wondering at the country park and decided that we would have a late pub lunch / dinner - opting as we was passing, on the Elm Tree. A few pot holes getting into the car park, and the car park didn't seem too busy... which was promising for a table.When we got in, we ended up sitting in the bar area as opposed to the restaurant as it was fully booked - no surprise really last minute on a Sunday. The menu wasn't particularly clear about kids meals on a Sunday (it mentioned kids Sunday lunch not any others) this was clarified by the bar staff as they had 'small plates'... although kids meals (or small plates) are a shocking £10! (One had burger and chips, the other fish and chips). The wife and myself had roasts, which were pretty good - albeit ours came out towards the kids finishing theirs. Credit to the staff as we had a chap apologise there had been a mix up, and the manager (I assume) offered us a free drink at the end as well.Overall, it was OK, I was tempted to score 3 stars due to the meal and wait issue, but I was impressed that they acknowledged it without being prompted, so feel that 4 stars is justified. A bit quicker cleaning tables (I took bits off and gave them to bar when we got seated), some improvements to the menu (particularly for kids - and pricing for kids) and perhaps make the drive into parking a little smoother and then heading in right direction to the 5 stars...

Nice pub - had lunch there with friends. Friendly efficient staff, reasonable menu, tasty food. Easy to find and plenty of parking.

Absolutely love the Elm Tree, we often come for Sunday lunch, the new owners are doing a super job and all of the undesirables have stopped coming. A great community pub. The events manager is a bit of looker too, I think she must take after her mother. The new scotch eggs are to die

I was part of a large group who had all pre-ordered. In spite of this, our meals all arrived at different times, three of them after others had finished. The potatoes were overcooked and too hard to cut. My daughter had been told they could offer gluten free veggie sausages but on the day these weren't available. She doesn't like stuffed peppers, the only alternative, so had caulifliwer cheese, basically a plate of vegetables for £16.50. The desserts were disappointing.

We all went for a roast dinner as it was my daughter s birthday there were 4 meats to chose from and 3 vegetarian ones to plus 4 different meals meals if you didn't want a roast. We all had the yummy pork vegetable and all the trimmings was great . Except the roast potatoes as they were just to hard to eat which was a real shame i hope that improves. Brownie Pudding was great my daughter was impressed. It's all served on a hot plate so the meal was amazingly hot.

Booked this when our hotel restaurant let us down. Lovely thatched pub beautifully adorned with Christmas lights. Welcome was fantastic as was the food with very big portions. Could only manage ice cream for dessert as so full from the main course. Wonderful pub just wish I was

Lovely pub, the staff are really friendly and attentive. We were served very quickly. The burger was okay, it could?ve had a bit more taste, possibly additional sauce and the chips were a little overcooked but that is probably personal preference!The humus was very tasty indeed and there was a great selection of drinks!
