Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch draws the most mentions, and reviewers split on it. Some call it a proper home cooked dinner, with a three course option they rate as perfection. Another describes rolled turkey, two almost cold roast potatoes, an undercooked Yorkshire pudding and garden peas and sweetcorn from the tin. Beyond the roast, diners single out the pork belly, a rump steak cooked medium rare that arrived juicy and tender, and starters of tomato soup with crusty bread or mushrooms on bruschetta. Several describe the staff and landlord as friendly, and the atmosphere as good for watching the rugby over a pint, with the Guinness called second to none. One group held a friend's 60th birthday here and praised the food and the singer provided. One reviewer who arrived around 8pm found no food available and noted a sign advertising accommodation that did not exist, though the young bartender phoned a taxi for them.
