An excellent, basic site in a great location. The camping field is on a slight slope but nothing major. The pub is very nice, as are the owners and staff. A good selection of beers is available and the meals are excellent, although if I remember correctly they don't serve food on a Sunday evening. Facilities are basic, no showers, but toilets are open 24/7.
There is a micro brewery in the local village which is a very pleasant 20 minute walk through Bentley Park wood, which is just across the road from this site. Google Church End Brewery, they have a nice selection of real ales available to tempt the tastebuds.
I can recommend the Battlefield Line Steam Railway for a day out if you fancy a trip back in time. Jump on and off at each stop as you wish. There is a miniature steam railway at one of the stops, can't remember which. You can also include a visit to the location of the Battle of Bosworth Field, which includes various walks, guided trails and a visitor's centre.

A one night stopover and what a nice pub site. Very friendly and helpful owners who booked us in quickly and explained where the facilities were.
The site is a good size and although by the road, it is not really a busy road and we probably saw as many horses on the road as we did cars.
The site is basic, however they provide an outside toilet for use if the pub is shut. The mens were clean and usable, however I cannot comment on the womens. How water is also available in the toilets. There is no shower.
There is a fresh water point and chemical disposal point and the site has plenty of hookups available should you wish. They also offer either hardstanding or grass pitches.
The pub itself was very friendly and had a good laugh with the locals. They sell the normal range of beers, wines and spirits and reasonably priced too.
The food is well priced, home cooked and a varied menu. We ate there and enjoyed the grub very much.
We did not venture out so cannot comment on the local attractions, however there is a village a couple of miles away.
I would return to this site and at £10 for the night for the campervan without EHU, reasonably priced too.

Not a recommended site, arrived for day of booking to be told I had arrived on the wrong day (I hadn't and eventually after checking their book they realised-with no apology), I was charged more than I was quoted on the phone!
The toilets are dirty and there is no shower-compared to the price of £17 per night I think this is outrageous, there are cleaner more friendly sites local and cheaper!
You could not meet a nicer guy than the owner, however he has no say and his wife is the complete opposite! The garden was closed off on the Saturday due to a private party and we were forced to travel out to occupy our children. Stay well clear!

Have just got back from a weekend stay at the Horse and Jockey. Both landlord and landlady where superb hosts, with a good selection of ales and wines on offer.
The pub was being re-painted internally and it looks bright and fresh. We eat a meal on Sat night in the pub which was of a very good standard, with good service.
There is an outdoor area with bench seating for when we have good rain free weather, an outside toilet can be used whilst the pub is open.
We intend to return soon, as the site is not far from home and offers a close get away.

GREAT PUB, FRIENDLY OWNERS. I must say when booking this site I was worried having read the reviews, field where we pitched nice cut grass, clean, outdoor toilets BONUS, not the best but the building looks years old, clean though, that's all that matters. Electric if you wanted it. The owners Jackie and keith where both friendly and welcoming, food was good average priced, I must say I can't believe that I am typing these comments having read the previous ones, but I am and all I can say to anyone thinking of booking for camping or caravaning or just for a drink or meal DO IT, don't be put off like we nearly was by other comments.

Attended a club rally at this site, 18 units in all. We booked the venue for a skittles night, but found we were expected to use a very small room at the back of the pub. Toilet facilities weren't up to standard, but most ralliers use their own facilities. The meal we had in the pub wasn't too bad, but the treatment from the owner most certainly wasn't acceptable. We were expected to pack up and leave site virtually straight after flag, and this wasn't explained prior to us arriving. Needless to say our club will not be using this site again.
