Our group of 7 ate lunch, with food from the lunchtime meal deal.
All our meals were delicious, hot and served promptly despite two large groups there too.
Very good value for money and excellent choices. Thanks to the chef and other staff.

Came for Sunday dinner and managed to fit us in last minute after another pub stopped serving. Very glad we came here food was lovely and the hospitality from the staff was exceptional. A lovely pub inside and out
