Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch is the main draw, with the roast beef dinner and its generous individual jugs of gravy singled out, alongside a lamb pie, fish and chips, a chicken burrito and a brie, bacon and cranberry ciabatta. Reviewers describe generous portions, friendly service and a beer selection some rate highly, plus a roaring fire and a picnic blanket lent to a dog on the tile floor. A few add that one slight wait for food was fine and that a late reservation was handled with understanding.
