We booked a table as this is a popular restaurant/pub. Many gluten free options available. Service was very good with the manager very aware of our choices and giving information . Staff very attentive. Food was delicious and dessert beautifully presented. Value for money.

Food very good. Service needs improving. Young staff need training. Very pleasant but room was noisy and hot and not relaxing.

A bit of a lengthy wait of about thirty odd minutes for main meal, when it did arrive nice presentation, fresh and hot, and thoroughly enjoyable. Well done chef and staff.

The gluten free menu leaves much to be desired - totally uninspired- fish over cooked and very limp salad. Poor choices. No desert but the boring ice cream or cream brûlée- sick of them! Sorry but won’t be back in a hurry.

Visit with husband and a friend on Bank Holiday Monday. Sat upstairs in the beautifully decorated and atmospheric room. Three different dishes ordered Ribeye, Pork Belly and Fish and chips. Three great dishes and all were happy. Together with a bottle of wine, a great dining experience.
