Ah, The Bay Horse Inn – it's one of those pubs that just wraps you up in that classic English charm the moment you step inside. Picture this: oak beams overhead, a cosy fire crackling away in the colder months, and a genuine country feel that's been going strong since 1818. The team there, led by Tony and Diane, are always so welcoming, making you feel like you're catching up with old mates rather than just popping in for a drink. Their beer and ale lineup is brilliant, with rotating guest options and award-winners that any ale enthusiast would rave about, alongside a solid choice of wines and whiskeys to suit all tastes. And the food? Oh, it's a treat – home-cooked dishes like the best fish and chips I've heard of in ages, or a hearty steak pie that's full of flavour, plus they've nailed the gluten-free stuff without losing that proper pub grub vibe. The outdoor seating is a nice touch for when the weather plays ball, giving you a bit of that rural village escape. But, let's be honest, it's not all pint-perfect; it can get packed to the rafters, especially on weekends, which means waits for service that might leave you twiddling your thumbs. A couple of reviewers mentioned surprises with menu details, like dressings that aren't flagged up, and while it's on the up, it does have that lived-in look that might not appeal if you're after something more polished. All in all, though, I'd say it's worth a visit for a laid-back afternoon or evening – just book ahead and go with the flow for the full experience!
