We heard of this pub through a friend and ended up at the quiz night, we had a great time the host was great and the food was too. All good value for money, we loved the location, a lovely little village.
It was that good we went back on the Friday night, a great atmosphere a nice buzzy pub, and friendly staff! We met Gill and Rob who run the pub, who were very welcoming.
I highly recommend for a good night out, will be going again.
