Great second visit. Hubby had the mushroom pie and my mother and law and I had a starter size and a full size tomato salad. Disappointed that we had to have halloumi rather than mozzarella otherwise would have been a 5* review.

3 of us came for Sunday lunch. My father had roast beef. The meat was too tough and he couldn't eat it. My husband had a pie, which had an ice cream scoop of mash potato.

Love the food. Football was on and would probably have preferred it it was not - but did mean lively atmosphere, and TV turned back down as soon as game finished

Only downside was a dog at the next table which barked frequently. I've nothing against dogs in restaurants, but I think staff should make it very clear to customers if they hear a dog barking frequently that it's not acceptable. From the faces of other diners, I wasn't the only one thinking this.

Return visit and great food once again - would recommend. Shame about unsettled barking dog from a neighbouring table … but would still return!

A friendly welcome. A pleasantly located table not laid when we arrived. Excellent Wadworth's 6X cask Ale to drink. Very nice roast lamb but let down a little by accompaniments. Superb Raspberry Eton Mess for pud. Served with two spoons and easily enough for two. Would probably go back but not for a Sunday roast.

Booked by virtue of being a convenient location between two of us, a lucky chance, as the team were friendly, the beer good and the food delicious.
