We love our local pub! Great food, great company and they even have a vegan option on the menu. Dogs are welcome so our whole family can enjoy our weekly Friday evening treat

Have just popped in here for a meal, what a lovely little pub! Food was lovely menu is small but had something for everyone and was very reasonably priced. Bar tender wowed us with his service, knowledge and passion for gin and made sure we were very well looked after! What a little gem of a pub xx

After living in the village for years, first time going back to the pub since renovation and what an amazing renovation they have done. The food was also amazing, very friendly attentive staff and busy for a random Thursday night which is also a good sign! I had the pie of the day which was delicious home made and generous portions. Other members of our party had the fish special which was presented amazingly and also got great feedback, and finally the chicken burger which was also very tasty. Dog friendly too.

Tastefully refurbished pub that is now a great restaurant with a pub-atmosphere. Smart, clean, relaxed, and dog-friendly too. The halibut special was superb and overall good value. The friendly team deliver a very good, professional service. Will be back to sample the renowned Sunday roast!

We came back to the bird in hand for the Valentines set menu, it was hard to choose what to have as all of the options sounded so delicious! We were not disappointed with the food. All our three courses were delicious! The staff are so warm and friendly, the head chef Alex also came to say hello. Such a lovely atmosphere and the most amazing food! We can't wait to go back again! We even finished off with a very nice expresso martini.

Went for Sunday roast - it was good but for the price we felt a little short changed on meat (we had the trio and had 1 small piece of beef & gammon, then lots of turkey). Everything was hot, well seasoned and well cooked. Service was excellent, but felt the atmosphere a little lacking. Choice of furniture and design made it feel a little more smart cafe than pub. But personal preference there. Overall a really nice experience.

What a hidden little gem you are! We have visited from Yorkshire and Trip Advisor lead us to you. Firstly I have to mention the staff who are so friendly and amazing. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a smile. The gentleman that served us actually conversed with us and made us feel very welcome. The waitress who couldn’t do enough for us and checked in on us regularly. The food was amazing. We had cod bites starter to share and the batter was so light and not too thick so you could taste the cod ❤️ I had the buttermilk chicken for the main and that was cooked to perfection. The homemade coleslaw is the best coleslaw I’ve ever tasted (must be a secret recipe 😂) My partner had the lamb and guineas pie and I wish I’d of taken a photo now because the pie just didn’t look nice with the puff pastry on the top but tasted absolutely amazing. Great location, lovely outdoor space and just a great place, with amazing staff. Not only that but the locals made us feel so welcome, we felt like we were locals. There is no wonder that this little hidden gem is no.1 on trip advisor! Thank you everyone for making my day by giving me a pleasant experience, it was just what we needed after an unpleasant stay at a local hotel 😃

Wow, we had some of the best steaks we’ve ever eaten and really personable service by the manager and front of house. I wish all businesses had this approach. He took the time to talk to my family and he really showed he cares about who visits. We could hear him doing the same with everyone who came. 🥰 The waitress was also lovely and let us adapt the menu slightly for our child who didn’t like squid 🦑and swap it for fish. We will definitely go back. The Thursday night steak offer was a win win for us too!

GREAT! This exactly what a dining pub should be. Brilliantly cooked food. Good quality, fresh ingredients skillfully cooked. I have eaten in plenty of posh restaurants that don't come close to this. Also.. Lovely, friendly, attentive service. Good wine and beer. Quite location with outside seating - inside, fresh and bright with lots of windows We'll be back!!
