What a super country pub! We met as a party of 7 for Sunday lunch, having booked a week in advance with Jacky. We were able to use the disabled parking bay for my infirm cousin and wheelchair access to the pub was possible via the street-facing entrance. Our table was prepared for us and we were seated and served drinks very quickly. The Sunday lunch menu is terrific. There's a selection of roasts for both large and small appetites as well as alternative food choices and vegetarian options. Several of us had the smaller roast lamb dish which was ample. The lamb was extremely tasty and tender and the roast potatoes were crispy and delicious. The dish was also served with vegetables in season which were perfectly cooked and an individual Yorkshire pudding. A gravy boat, per diner, was provided to accompany the roast. The dessert of the day was also excellent. Home made blackberry and apple crumble served, piping hot, in a large ramekin with a side serving of custard. Service was excellent too, attentive and caring without being pushy. Jacky was in evidence throughout the lunchtime, serving and clearing as well as supervising the staff. It was a very special experience and we four old cousins will most definitely return to this super traditional pub. 5 stars for sure.
