This is an excellent inn, with really good food even in the week after Christmas. Despite having only a few diners, the ambience is great with fires both ends of the pub and fabulous service. Thank you Jake and Zoe

Superb food -- one of the best meals I've had in the local area. Lamb chop and beef fillet were real highlights. Friendly, warm and welcoming, with drinks by a cosy fire. More of a gastro pub so different from most pubs in the area -- in a good way: remarkable quality and attention to detail. We will be back soon!
