“We’ve recently discovered The Kicking Donkey and have already visited twice and we’re really looking forward to going again. such a lovely pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were super attentive and friendly, and it’s great that they’re dog-friendly too - our dog was even given water, which was a nice touch. The food was delicious and excellent value for money. Such a lovely find!”
