10/10 from me for the cuisine. and a beautiful English countryside pub. Unbeatable. Tourists need to visit here.

I love James May. He's such a likable character, just like yourself Gary. Thank you for your great reviews. 😊

Stunning countryside landscape, delicious food, big portions and a relatively affordable price. Definitely worth visiting.

Picture perfect location. Delicious food. 10/10 . What a real treat to watch. Thanks for taking us along with you. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you so very much.

10 all day from me. What a beautiful place. I get sceptical about celebrity owners but James May really has done something special there.

That lamb did look delicious...the plating was exceptional. Thanks Gary

These celebrity pubs are really top notch much better than the celebrity chefs ones . Shoulder of lamb is my favourite and that looked stunning massive 10

Gary, what a gentleman you are. Down to earth, and, such an honest man. A rare breed to say the least. Love watching your content as it so relaxing humbling. I'm a massive foodie but as a result of anxiety and depression I struggle to eat at the best of times. But you inspire me to keep on going. And chase what I love. So thank you!

In my opinion, some of the most impressive plating & presentation of any of your restaurants. A feast for the eyes and soul! The food looked amazing and as I used to tell the preschoolers I cooked for, "Dessert is not the meal" so a petite, beautifully prepared portion for me is a big thumbs up! I would've given a 10 out of 10 based on quality of the food and plating. Bravo to Mr. May for revitalizing and improving a local establishment!😊❤ Another wonderful video, Gary! (BTW - With your first bite of lamb, I said to myself, "If it's amazing, he's going to lean back in his chair" and you did! I knew things were going to be positive from that point forward.😊)

10 all day. Sponge/sorbet/lemon curd proportions were perfect. You tight git, Gary 😊

Thank You för a great show.

As a trained chef i can say that the plating is really a work of art. Definitely going to plan a visit. I give it a 10/10

I feel for the cameraman 🤣🤣 he has a lot of patience

I always look forward to your videos Gary.😊

I've only recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying your reviews. Great job!!

Wow this looks absolutely delicious. Thanks Gary

So pleased to see this pop up just now. Gonna grab a beer, sit back and enjoy this, that's for sure 😁

You're really spoiling us with all this content Gary. Thank you and your long suffering cameraman.

Always look forward to the notification of a new review. A fair and passionate review every time. Thank you Gary

Worth every penny. Looked absolutely fantastic

Absolutely perfect 10/10 and the presentation 10 plus cheers Gary

I am so in love with the English country side. Another great review Gray. Thank you so! Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good grief the main looks wonderful 😍

Looks fabulous And so do you Gary i love the quiff

What a lovely country pub both inside & out. Delightful surrounding area too & terrific spring weather. How nice was that soup. Looked great & tasted fantastic ! The braised shoulder of lamb made my mouth water just looking at it ! Lamb is my favourite also. Lucky you for being able to taste it Gary. The presentation of each dish is a work of art. 10/10 to their Chef !

That looks great and a+++ they’ve got a defib outside!

great to see the defibrillator on the wall... great vid. great review..looks fantastic.

What a beautiful setting, Gary and great food😊

Looked really nicely presented quality food.

In a town where the wind whispers secrets sweet, Lived a man named Gary, with a hearty appetite to meet. With a fork for a wand and a spoon for a song, He danced through the day, never thinking it wrong. Gary eats with gusto, his palate knows no bounds, From crispy bacon mornings to moonlit seafood rounds. He feasts on laughter, savors every bite, With each meal a story, a journey in the night. In his kitchen, a symphony of sizzles and sighs, As flavors entwine beneath the starlit skies. He crafts culinary dreams, from dusk until dawn, In the tapestry of tastes, Gary's spirit lives on. So here's to Gary, the king of cuisine, Whose hunger for life is a sight to be seen. With each meal, a masterpiece, a work of art, Gary eats with passion, straight from the heart.

Glorious ❣ 🤗 I love seeing a happy Gary ❣🤗

Thank you Gary for another awesome video love all your videos much respect and appreciation for your videos love from Dublin

Lamb looks stupendous ❤

I never understand why some restaurants can give a small portion of something that really doesn't cost much. To make a slightly bigger spounge would cost pennies.

the food looked perfect gary...thanks for the video!!!

Looks glorious , must go thanks Gary !

Another great review Gary i certainly miss quality UK pub food here in Brazil.

So refreshing to see you enjoying fresh excellently cooked food Gary . I am sick of food channels showing guys cooking (lol)warming up frozen ready meals and pies etc expecting good food to cost nothing. I shop in Aldi and Lidl and buy fresh food to cook at home. These guys just eat greasy processed food unbelievable. Lamb looks delicious slow cooked amazing easy dish 4 /5 hours in the oven fantastic. It's good value in my books mate . Satisfying when you get great quality and don't mind paying for it. We have great food in this country yet so many people don't know how to prepare it. Cheers take care

Lovely to go for a treat what a beautiful meal I'm genuinely overwhelmed in how good it all looks 😊

Thank you Gary for another dose of "feel good".Great video and glad you enjoyed your meal!❤

Solid stuff. Wholesome channel bro

(85) Well, once again, I did "What would I get?" and was thrilled you chose the soup starter. I just ADORE asparagus and after nearly 25 years of badgering, got my husband to eat some (PROPERLY) cooked asparagus and now he's a convert. I thought about the lamb, but the Aubergine dish sounded too good to pass up. I'm NOT a fan of "floral" flavors (except a bit of orange blossom water or rose water every so often) so it would have been the British cheese board for me and a glass of wine. The burger you had on your first go seemed OK at best, but the a la carte dining is where this place seems to shine. Thanks for the upload (hope the van driver found his destination) and happy you got another winner!!!

Nice one Gary, one of your best yet. Great to see a dessert. 🙏

A must go to...Thank you.

Bravo Gary! What a great place! For the first time, I have to disagree with you on the portion size of the dessert. I often share a dessert after such a meal because I’m pretty full but want just a little something sweet to end the meal. I thought the dessert was perfect! The food looked extraordinary. Your review as well. So nice to see you enjoy yourself on such beautiful day. Loved this episode, your channel keeps getting better and better! As always, Linda from Laguna 😊😊🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♀️🐳🐳🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️💕💕

Worth the ticket just for the lamb🎉made my mouth water literally nice one ❤️

Looks delicious. Another great review 👏

This looks absolutely wonderful

That Lamb looked amazing 😮

See, now I thought that was enough dessert🤷🏻‍♀️. Anyway, enjoyed watching. Seemed like such a relaxed, and charming place to spend an afternoon! Thanks

Fantastic review, keep them coming Gary.

Thanks Gary. Always so engaging to watch! 👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻

The whole meal looked really good. Presentation was excellent and the portions looked very good to me.

That to me was a quality posh pub dinning experience. Didn't expect Lamb shoulder to be presented like that. Shredded and a ramakin cooking process. Loved all ingredients Soup looked delightful. Thank you for the video. Its a 9. from me for that three course splendour.

Original food , all looks good . Thanks Gary . 😊

Another excellent video gary keep up the great reviews nice way to end the day with another one of your videos

Its cruel Mr G whilst i am on a ready made lasagne n garlic bread😮 that looked darn yummy. Lamb is a winner for me too. Ty for sharing 🎉 and yes a big 👍 to Mr May 🎉

Always look forward to your videos, Gary. Chicken soup for the soul, mate. Paul xxx.

Delicious food ❤ and great weather enjoy

Looks awesome.. proper cooking

for once gary could cross the road without being chased by cars and he appreciated it, love the subtle humor😂👍 the food looked gorgeous and was obviously made with love, wow!

When you said: "The phrase," I instantly said: "Melt in your mouth." I know! I said it instantly, as in without stuttering! How good!

Lovely review Gary

That’s what a country pub should be like. Really looked great…..think you were slightly harsh over the sponge size! At least you didn’t knock them down a point for the van passing by!!

Why isn't Gary dancing around a MAYPOLE ready for the sacrifice like WOODWARD in Wicker man

Looked unreal - will have to visit sometime - thanks for sharing

Presentation is awesome when food looks good and tastes good the experience is whole !!!

Nooooo. That dessert was fine (oink oink) Harsh. 10/10

There once was a man named Gary Who's pursuit for good food ne'er did tarry From starter to meal, from amount to good deal And his viewers he did leave merry

Thanks - quality review as usual, Gary

That all looked absolutely gorgeous! 👏🏻.

Quality place, quality food

Excellent menu choice, Gary. They all looked like spring on a plate, and with the weather, and birds tweeting in the background, I was as relaxed as you were. I was a bit full by the time your pudding arrived just thinking about the first two dishes!
