Lovely big family pub. Really enjoyed the roast, the beef was cooked really well and was of high quality. Veggies were also cooked perfectly. Friend’s vegan nut roast also hit the spot. Not as good as mum’s, but the sticky toddy pudding was delicious ;-) Would definitely come back with the extended family.
