Rose Cottage

I just had Lamb and mint pie. I can honestly say hand on heart I have never eaten any pie remotely as good as this. It was full of Lamb with the perfect mint flavour. It was more food than even I could eat, and I am a big bloke who loves my grub. The pastry was moist but cooked to perfection. My partner had Steak and Guinness pie. Hers was also beyond amazing. These pies are home made and you can truly tell. I doubt they have ever been near a freezer, and rightly so. I cannot rave about this enough. The new landlord is a truly jovial Liverpudlian who immediately makes you feel at ease. The bar staff are attentive and polite, Jo in particular, they help you feel local even if you are not. Granted this is not a chain 2 for a tenner pub, but despite paying a little more, it is more than excellent value for money. The beer is well kept and there is a good choice of real ale, tap beers and lagers, along with a choice of wines, spirits and yes a good tap Guinness. I live over 10 miles away but suspect I shall be a local from now on.
