“Stopped here for an impromptu tea , a warm welcoming atmosphere. We were told to sit wherever we wanted. Service at the bar was fast and friendly. There was a special offer on curries so we gave it a punt. We were not disappointed. Good portion size and full of flavour. Our little lad was more than happy with his children's pizza and chips. He was especially happy with his personalised fudge cake and ice cream All staff were professional yet friendly overall a top family pub. Special mention to VICKY and ZIA For going the extra mile.”
