Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch is what most diners come for, and reviewers are split on it. Several praise the tender beef with loads of extra veg and gravy, plentiful portions and tasty home-cooked flavour. Another describes roast lamb that was moist and a good size but fatty and chewy, with plain boiled vegetables, the smallest ball of stuffing, and no mint sauce or cauliflower cheese extras. A different lamb diner found the apple crumble doughy. Beyond the roast, reviewers single out a burger called one of the best in a while, cheesy garlic bread, and a steak and ale pie, with Moretti on tap and good beer noted. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and the relaxing atmosphere, well spaced tables and garden seating also come up. One visitor found the pub closed even though the website said it was open, and the phone line was not working. Portions were big enough that one couple were too full for the dessert menu they said looked good.

“First visit, great staff and super priced food in a relaxing atmosphere.”

“It was closed. Website said it was open but the phoneline didn't work. It wasn't out of our way so thought we'd try anyway. So, unfortunately as much as it looked nice, we have no idea whether just shut for a week or forever...”

“Lovely pub, with comfortable seating area as well as dining tables. We went for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and plentiful. Dessert menu looked good, but we were too full up this visit to try any. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend.”
- Paul Scoplin
“Delicious food and price is not too bad because you receive a good portion. Lovely looking pub, nice atmosphere, looks very clean and modern and well spaced out tables. Interesting little place, with a nice garden and car park at the rear. Sitting outside the front and the back.”
