Great food and excellent service by Emily our very professional waitress. Not the cheapest option in the area and can get busy at peak times but well worth a visit

We stopped here for a bite to eat in the early evening. Quick and friendly service, tasty food and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend, and will probably come back again if we're in the area

Me and my mum visited today and we were incredibly disappointed. We have been to this pub a handful of times before and we’ve always had a great time but today was the opposite. I understand that it’s Sunday and it would be busy but from the second we walked in we felt so unwelcome. We were left standing by the door for a while with staff just walking past us and ignoring us, at this point I wish we had just left and gone somewhere else. We then ordered drinks (coke and lemonade) which honestly tasted like fizzy water! And to top things off the staff were unfriendly and this experience has really put us off and made us feel reluctant to visit again!

We recently had a work party for 12, we opted for the Christmas menu and I must say from the moment we walked through the door to finishing our deserts was a complete joy. The staff are super attentive and are there when you need them so never too in your face. The food was top notch and the atmosphere was bang on for a beautiful old pub on a village green super festive and perfectly lit! I have had lunch here before and the burgers are first class would definitely recommend if you are passing or local. Big shout out to the manager nothing was too much for him, great service, great food.

Lovely pub with a large menu and very cosy interior. My friend and i rocked up without booking on a Saturday lunch with out two kids and were happily accommodated. Staff were helpful and friendly and the food very tasty.
Higher end pricing, but then nothing is cheap anymore if you want quality food.

Christmas book club, table for 9, great nook reserved for our party great selection off the menu, did not need to book in advance. Lovely atmosphere, Christmas crackers on the table would have been nice. Room and pub beautifully decorated.
Dietary restrictions: The staff asked about our dietary requirements.
Parking: Plenty of car parking in car park.

What a great little place! Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We went on a Sunday late afternoon and we hadn’t booked so they only had availability inside the tent area. I was a little apprehensive thinking it would be cold but the tent was lovely, warm and cosy. We ordered the Mac and cheese, cheese and bacon loaded fries and I ordered the chicken roast. Apart from the gravy being a little under seasoned (to my taste- everyone is different), the roast was delicious! The price was reasonable for a roast and the service was great too. Highly recommend. We will certainly be back.

We had our wedding at the Artichoke at the beginning of September and we couldn’t have wished for it to go any better.
We had 90 people for a sit down 3 course meal - everyone commented how amazing the food was. The team were brilliant from the service during the meal to the evening reception ensuring everyone always had a drink. The venue was just perfect and they went to so much effort to create exactly what we wanted. We had the best wedding ever and wouldn’t change a thing!

Came here for lunch - had the Kajun Chicken Burger, absolutely the best chicken burger I've ever tasted. Full of flavour and extremely well presented and made. Very good service and polite, helpful staff. Sat in the outside "tent" area, very nice atmosphere and an enjoyable experience.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available
Parking: Parking lot out back

On my last visit a couple of months ago I only gave a stingy 4 stars. How could I? 5 stars all round!
Hospitality was great, as was the food (2 X fish & chips, 1 beef and ale pie & mash, 1 sea bass and a smoked haddock kedgeree). Everyone enjoyed their food and there was no need for the waitress to apologise for slow service – it seemed perfectly fine to us - the place was very busy, but it was not a problem. It was my bad that I didn’t ask more about the pie – I had hoped for a two crust pie, not a top crust. It was still great, but a bit difficult to keep the pie dish from sliding off my plate while eating it! We probably won’t order another kedgeree in summer as the flies were rather partial to it as well – so much so that I began to wonder if there was anything wrong with the other food, which they ignored ;) Not sure what could be done about the flies – fly screens are not very common in the UK.
Wheelchair accessibility: On our previous visit we just went in via the back door and had not booked, and it was a bit tricky as there was a basket of towels blocking the way in. This time we booked and the waitress was very helpful in offering a much nicer table in the tent at the rear, that we hadn’t noticed before – with a ramp too. Moral: look (and book) before you leap
