Customer Review Summary

Diners most frequently single out the Sunday roast, praising the beef and generous portions as delicious and faultless. Close behind are the pies, with the cheese and onion pie and a birthday candle-topped pie earning specific mention, while the sausage and mash with Yorkshire pudding is also highlighted for its flavour and heat. Several describe the pub as cosy, traditional, and clean, with a warm welcome and exceptional service that accommodates families and large groups. One reviewer notes the afternoon tea upstairs as an authentic experience with china cups and lace tablecloths. Dogs are welcome, and a few appreciate the log fire in winter.

    We have just visited today for Sunday Lunch and it most definitely will not be our last visit. The pub itself is lovely and cosy and clean. The lady serving us (auburn/red-ish hair was lovely. She was lovely with our three children, as were all the staff. The service they provided was exceptional. Our children are a little fussy and can find 'Sunday menus" a bit limited for them but the staff were so accommodating making it work for them and we had 3 clean plates. As for the Sunday dinners themselves both myself and the hubby had beef roast dinner and it was delicious. We are real foodies and couldn't fault it. We would definitely visit again when we are next in the area and would definitely recommend 👍

How this listing is sourced

Where the data comes from
Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
How it stays current
Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
How it is ranked
Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
