Lovely family run pub, good food, good drinks and friendly locals. When the weather is good the beer garden is fantastic for the family! Had one of the best Sunday roasts this weekend! Photos attached, you need to book in advance!

We recently moved to the area and was recommended to try this place by a local - it didn't disappoint! Wow! It absolutely has the wow factor! The beer garden was stunning - never seen one like it. Inside it carried on, the thought for design is clear. We did eat here and have to say it was delicious. We had the soup of the day to start then the curry and lasagne. Both my husband and I were very impressed. We'll be back! The service was above and beyond. Extremely friendly and polite, just what you'd expect from such a wonderful place. Thanks for a wonderful evening and making our date night even better.
