We booked a table for my husbands birthday there were 7 adults and 4 children We all enjoyed our meals can’t fault them Friendly staff The only problem we had was there were no children’s menu offered to us and we didn’t know how much their meals would be until the bill arrived Other than that it was brilliant

Food was lovely as was the atomosphere. There was a little issue with the bill but the manager got in touch and sorted that out demonstrating amazing customer service but also shows that she truely cares about her business and customers. This is incredibly rare these days and very much appreciated. See you again soon

Excellent welcome. Pleasant if worn surroundings. Varied menu with excellent starters. Lamb cutlets excellent, fried Cod v, good, only disappointment was the special of the day roast beef which was clearly pre sliced pre packaged🤔 Seemed a shame as overall a great meal for four for under £100

What a find! I ate here with three other people for lunch. We found the dining area very comfortable and roomy. We all had different meals on the light bite menu. Very generous for light portions. I chose the roast dinner of the day with slight trepidation as I have never really had a good roast dinner yet when out. Surprise surprise, not only was it hot it had vegetables that were not only edible but enjoyable as was the rest of the meal, thoroughly enjoyed it. My companions also enjoyed their starters and mains, cant comment on the puds - no room. A great meal for a very reasonable price, girl who welcomed us very sweet and was busy behind the bar and waitressing. It is a shame we were on our travels so will probably not be frequenting the pub in the near future, but will certainly come again when up this way

Food was great, great choices, very generous portions and of good quality. Waitress was attentive, friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was very quiet (although they looked like they were gearing it for a large 60th birthday), which in many ways was great as it meant we had super service but as a result lacked a bit if atmosphere. However I was there with 5 family members over 75 so in many ways it worked for us, it wasn't noisy, we had loads of space and throughly enjoyed the food. Would definitely go back

The table looked nice and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The meal was lovely and the large selection of roasts, potatoes and vegetables made for an excellent meal. A very good selection of starters and desserts. Very impressed. The lovely surroundings all added to a very pleasant experience.
