This is my fourth times coming here. Sunday Roast is incredible, beef is beautifully cooked. Crème Brûlée and Profiteroles were delicious.
Price is reasonable, staff are superb. You can tell that the landlord here is on another level, he is a huge part of why this pub is so successful.
The pub is dog-friendly and always has a nice atmosphere. Definitely pop in, you won’t regret it 😉

Thank you Team.

Lovely place, food and service, be back next week

Literally had to eat my dinner at arms length. Party of 8 and not one of us could fit our legs under the table it was so low and the seats so high. Quite an uncomfortable experience.

Putting that aside, I had Roast lamb which was okay but nothing special. Others had scampi which they said was nice. The cheesecake was probably the best of the lot.

Staff looked sad the entire time and we had to ask a few times for drinks.

Personally I wouldn’t bother visiting again.

The food was very nice and the people who I was with strongly agreed, the service was very friendly and helpful and it created a very nice cosy atmosphere to eat and socialise in, the venue was very well kept and the interior design was very wooden, stylish and interesting, with antlers, paintings and even a fire to sit next to that was surprisingly warm at the end. Strongly recommend 🙂

Service and atmosphere was great. We went for a Sunday roast and it was OK, but far from the best I have had. Beef was ace. Veg was nicely cooked. But the gravy and roast potatoes I felt like they had been sat for a couple of hrs and had a stake like taste. The roast potatos in my opinion are the best part of a roast dinner but felt they really let the meal down. I wouldn't return for that reason.

Second time here. First time was Mother’s Day. Came this time with my mum. She had looked online at their menu and had her heart set on ham, egg and chips from the lighter menu. Got told that was only on the lunch menu. Asked if she could still have. Was told no. I asked about the menus being different online and said about there being no time limit on the menu and response was that they are revamping the website. Ordered salmon en croute with new potatoes. Sent mine back as new potatoes were more like old, brown soft potatoes with eyes already forming. Menu wasn’t special. It was expensive for what it was. Veg was ok. Food was filling but tasteless. Shame as it’s close and could be so much better. Friendly staff but had to wait while they emerged from talking in the kitchen a couple of times. Doubt I’ll go back again.

Following on from our visit, both mum and I had salmon en croute and we were both ill the next two days. Can’t say for sure if it was from the food we ate but my mum did call the manager to alert him. He told my mum he’d binned the salmon that was left.

Fantastic food. Everyone in our group had 3 courses on father's day when they were really busy. Every dish was really well presented and great tasting.

We treated ourselves to the Sunday Roast with two non alcoholic drinks. The food was lovely and cooked to perfection. We sat outside under the canopy area which gave us protection from the sun and a cool breeze. The inside was a bit too warm and pack for us.This was a treat for us whilst away on our hols and we really enjoyed our stay. My only observation was the cost but the food was good.
