“My food was lovely, my husband had fish & chips but the batter was too thick. Granted its a really old place and probably limited as to what work they can do to the building but it does need some kind of upgrade. Glad we went but wouldn't unfortunately make the journey again.”

“One of the best roasts I’ve had anywhere! Warning, large portions, do come hungry Great staff too 💯🫶🏼”

“Absolutely delicious Sunday roast! The chicken was cooked perfectly - tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. The roast dinner was well presented, with generous portions and everything cooked just right. To finish, I had the sticky toffee pudding, and it was spot on. The sponge was soft, moist, and the texture was perfect, with a rich toffee sauce that wasn’t overly sweet. A fantastic meal from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it!”

Good to know
“Relaxed, friendly and accessible quality country pub dining. No pretensions, just good food, good drinks and a pleasant atmosphere. Child-friendly, dog friendly, everyone friendly really. We serve fresh food from local suppliers, but aim to do so at a price that won't break the bank, pub grub but a few specials as well. With a large beer garden and plenty of parking, it's the perfect spot to get away from it all for a bit, kick back, have a pint or a glass of wine and just....relax. We look forward to seeing you soon!”
