Super pub with excellent food and a great atmosphere. I went here with my husband and two of our friends. The food was excellent! Service was a little slow but it was very busy and there was also a party ongoing in the rear of the pub. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back .

Had a gorgeous Sunday lunch, exceptionally good, great value, great service! The carrot and Swede puree was so good I asked the chef how he makes it! All homemade. Sticky toffee pudding was to die for. Nice ambience in restaurant. Will be returning.
