Couldn’t have received a better service. Sadly two of our guests for a pre-ordered work lunch had to cancel due to seasonal illness. John and the team went over and above, allowing us to adjust menu choices to fit new guests dietary requirements last minute, and delivered wonderful plates of food. Thoroughly recommend.

Food and service very good, but we were a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a good fire going, and the festive decorations looked a bit underwhelming, but the Pie was great.

Nice to have a Guten Free & Vegetarian options. Service was quick and food was good. Only one criticism would be the Yorkshire puddings were cold but the rest of the dinner was hot. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Superb Sunday roast preceded by a fine pint of beer and washed down with a very nice Malbec. Combine this with great service and pleasant atmosphere, what more could you want?

We received a genuinely warm and friendly welcome from the team who were stood behind the bar on our arrival and, even though we were quite early, we were shown to our table. The menus were presented immediately but at no time throughout our entire visit were we rushed. The food was AMAZING. None of us usually have a starter but when we were told the soup of the day, we pounced on it! It was to be the start of a truly delicious food experience. Perfectly sized portions. We’ll definitely return on our next trip to the area and would highly recommend this pub to everyone. Thank you to all concerned who made our lunch such a success.
