  “The bone marrow needed sone toast or biscuits as it was a little oily. The family sharing platter should have been described as a plate of meat as platter suggests a dish that’s a little bigger than a plate. The roast pork with crackling was good as were the roast potatoes. The roast lamb was a tad dry as was the beef but the taste was good”

  “We celebrated my cousins 50th birthday there yesterday, she hired a private function room for the evening. Our host Roger was very attentive and accommodating and the waiting staff were all cheerful and friendly. The food was delicious and the drinks were reasonable priced. I will definitely visit again if I am in the area.”

  “I was brought here for an anniversary dinner by surprise. The food was excellent; the monkfish, venison tartare and the oysters were the highlight. Whilst we'd initially been sat by someone who was a bit grumpy and took a long time to talk to us and take even a drink order once we were infact sat, alongside curtly saying 'we're out of that' when we enquired on a bottle on the menu giving us fears of poor service, this was thankfully rescued by the lovely Mattie who, despite it being her first shift in the dining room, was fantastic and entertaining and sorted us out very well for the rest of the meal once we'd ordered the main bulk of food from the rather miserable other waitress. I'd definitely reccomend coming, but bear in mind the service can be very inconsistent; I suspect this was down to them being understaffed.”

  “Went in on a weekday afternoon and ended up loving everything about the place. The service was excellent, the food was familiar, yet different, the sun was streaming through the skylight and the Gritchie IPA helped round out a good lunch.”

  “Wow wow wow, Sunday roast is to die for! 3 of us choose each meat pork, lamb and Beef! The lamb was flavoursome and very tender same as the beef and the pork was my favourite absolutely succulent with crispy crackling! Sunday roast isn’t just about the meat it’s the roasties and gravy! The roasties were the star of the show! Crispy fluffy and flavour was great! We also shared the duck scotch egg as a starter and the lore donut to finish! I did order an Irish coffee though it being a very small espresso shot glass £15 is a little expensive! Staff were attentive and was a good ambience around the restaurant 5/5 for me apart from the Irish coffee!”

  “Superb! Good food, good service, and athmosphere! Love everything. Roger helped us a lot, from food to wine recommendations. We ordered beef fat popcorn, beef rib (amazing), aubergine toast, pork loin (excellent) and hake (amazing). We enjoyed the wine and beer selections....the Lore PA and the pint Guy PA were amazing! Booking is recommended.”

  “An excellent Sunday Roast especially the Combo of Pork and Lamb. The vegetables were just right and although the roast potatoes were somewhat small they were both crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. The graveyard also very tasty. Certainly a place to visit if you love a Sunday Roast.”

  “How much did we love our Sunday roast? It is one the best roast selections that I have had in forever and well worth it. I love the pub it is cosy and friendly and not too try had - just perfect on a cold afternoon in London. The staff were sublime from the moment we walked through the door pub door until we left. They were just so friendly, attentive and patient. Thank you especially to our server, Julia J. In terms of the food - we had all the roast meats, lamb, beef, pork and chicken. The lamb being my favourite. Both the beef and the lamb were very tender. As there were only two of us we had to juggle the choice around but again the team were so accommodating. The roasties were excellent and we were given a good sized gravy boat with plenty to go round. The bread and herb butter - excellent as were the infamous duck scotch eggs. It wasn't cheap with the wine and cocktails but we did splash out a bit. It is definitely worth a visit and I would love to make a return visit in the not too distant future.”

  “Cosy, rustic, and has a warm elegance to it. Lovely, accommodating staff who are full of beans. Place is dog friendly but only downstairs not at the restaurant upstairs so we had the smaller snack plates downstairs. Wine and bloody Mary’s were perfect. The food had so much flavour, every bite was delicious. Excited to come back to try the restaurant.”
