Very friendly place, locals and staff very welcoming and the food and beer both excellent. Dog friendly too but best to book.

Invited to join relatives here at the last minute for a Sunday roast.
Dinner and dessert amazing at this family ran pub (the daughter working behind the bar has a lively smile)
Hope to be able to return one day to try the mixed grill that I spotted on the week day menu.

Few little issues like the wrong sauces being brought out with starters, I had blue cheese and my husband had mine I think but the chicken wings were lovely. Would definitely recommend. The surf and turf comes with 2 small battered prawns/shrimp but the steak was done perfectly. Pudding was nice as we shared the mudslide, there was no caramel sauce as they had run out. One of our party ordered Eton mess but when it came out it had bananas and chocolate sauce, then when we enquired about it they said they'd run out of strawberries. This is fair enough but because she is pregnant she cannot eat bananas so it got thrown away which seemed as waste as had they have said when she ordered she could have ordered something else without the waste. I had a cup of tea and asked the chap who was serving for some milk please. He said he would bring it but never did and went on to serve another table so another person was asked after 10 mins of him not coming back.
The food is nice, if a bit jumbled, and the actual pub was nice, not too rowdy. Would go back despite the little issues.
Good parking spaces too and accommodating to little ones.

Went here for an early evening meal. Since coming here last it has changed hands. The new menu is a bigger choice than previously, but the value still remains excellent.
I had the gammon steak, that came with pineapple, egg, peas and chips, so a good sized meal for the price. My wife had the chicken wrap and changed the chips for a salad. We were both more than happy with both the quantity and quality of the meal. For desert we shared a cheesecake with ice cream. Which was lovely.
Would I return, absolutely.

We stayed overnight in our motorhome on our way to the channel tunnel ( 10 mins ) . A lovely welcome from the owners and the food was great too . Thank you .

Stayed the night here in my campervan in June en route to Europe and it was good. Called in again on way back to Ireland. New owners. I hadn't booked, and their chef was off sick, but they let me stay and I ate well. If anything, the food was better than a few months ago and it was good then. Burger this evening was the best I've had in ages. They need some real ales, but I'm sure that'll happen asap. Highly recommended, but probably best to ring ahead and not call on spec like I did.

Lovely pub, good beer garden and a good selection of draught beers, didn't eat there but the food looked good and portions were ample. Will call again when I'm next in the area.

What a great pub!
Stayed here 1 night before a ferry crossing in a motorhome.
We were made to feel very welcome, chef was ill , but the landlady said you are welcome to have food delivered.
Locals were great fun and welcoming and a shout out for Jacob who runs the local Cliff Top cafe just up the road who gave me a lesson in pool.
Overall would highly recommend going and visiting this nice bunch of people.
Cheers Tim n Sam
