One of the best pubs I’ve eaten in for ages!!! Interesting menu with some exciting variations on classic dishes. I cannot urge you enough to try this place and the outside dining area has a view to remember!!

Amazing location and outside views, with seating both at the front and back. Extensive menu, exquisite food with large portions at a reasonable price. Service was with a smile, and we were informed of wait times promptly. Shall definitely be visiting again.

Not bad. It was really busy but staff were attentive. Comprehensive menu, so probably there is something for everyone. Nice characterful pub, beams, and charm. Reasonably priced. Enjoyable evening.

Came in tonight for a meal with my boyfriend. We sat outside on the patio which was almost full, the service was lovely and polite and our food came quickly despite how busy it clearly was. I had Nachos which were a starter but very generously portioned and he had a massive plate of fish and chip. Lovely atmosphere, will definitelybe back

My partner and I had the most delicious Sunday roast here a couple of weeks ago. Very generous portions, big bowl of vegetables and all beautifully cooked. Sadly, I simply didn't have any room for a pudding! Lovely pub, not too big, very comfortable. I'd book in advance, if you want to be sure of a table. We will definitely be going back.

Lovely pub ,small but a great beer garden out back. The food is fantastic and staff friendly. Recommend the choc fondant pudding with clotted cream,but ask for extra cream ' your gonna need it

Amazing food, and absolutely lovely service. Booked a meal for my mums birthday and she’s a fussy eater. She did not complain once, so that in itself, speaks volumesz

Very quaint, cozy and comfortable. They had several local beers on draft. The baked camabert with currant jelly was a perfect start. The lamb roast with Yorkshire pudding was incredible. Be sure to ask for the mint sauce. For dessert, the fruit crumble with "perfect custard" was amazing!
