I have visited this pub many times for a quiet casual dinner. The food is superior to most pubs and there are daily specials plus roast beef specials on weekends. There is outside seating available and there is something special about this rural setting with...More

Three of us had dinner at the Rocking Horse this evening and came away disappointed. We all had the roast beef special, which was OK except we were told only rare was available, which made us wonder what happened to their end cuts. We checked...More

So we visited this pub three times! Twice for dinner and once for lunch and loved it! Inside looks like a real English pub and out back they have a lovely patio to sit on. I'm not sure why there are bad reviews as we...More
