Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the Sunday lunch as the standout, repeatedly praising the pies and the fish and chips as delicious and generous in portion. Several also highlight the cheesecake and biscoff cheesecake as excellent desserts, and note the welcoming atmosphere with the log burner lit. A recurring positive is the attentive, friendly service from the staff and owners. One reviewer, however, describes a disappointing late Sunday lunch with slow service, inconsistent portion sizes for the beef and macaroni cheese, mediocre vegetables, and a limp Yorkshire pudding, adding that staff struggled with basic requests like the WiFi code. Another mentions the food was average at best for the price. Most return for the hearty, well-received meals and the warm, family-run feel.

Location
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
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, 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.
