An excellent fish and chips, served with lemon and tartare sauce, really crispy batter and good chips. No option for mushy... We booked in advance, and they'd seated us in a bit that was awkward access (table long side with a wall behind and not much space either side to squeeze through) for some of us, but it was in a quiet area of the pub. Toilets were very clean.
I haven't actually sampled the food here yet, but judging from the menu and the specials board, I'd say it's very good value for money - a little more expensive than some pubs, but nevertheless a wide and interesting choice. I shall update the review once I've visited.
The interior décor was charming, it's clearly an old pub with history, and the beer garden has been laid out on different levels with several discrete sections. The fishpond, with tinkling water-feature, did make me want to pee before I'd finished my first pint, but otherwise it was a charming break.
Update:
I've eaten here three times since the initial review above, and can say that all meals so far tried have been very nice. The portions, be warned, are on the generous side. You might not have room for the entire meal, let alone desert.
Visited as a party of 10, pre booked and ordered.
Staff were lovely and helpful, friendly and efficient, and any problems were quickly rectified.
The food was lovely, everyone enjoyed their meals. Only comment about the prawn salad there were ALOT of prawns and not much salad, and the salad was just leaves also there was no soft egg as on the menu. It tasted ok though.
The busy atmosphere in the bar was good with a variety of groups; families, friends and couples.
