    We had the roast dinner, which was very tasty, hot and a generous portion. Staff were pleasant, on the ball and very attentive. Will definitely visit again.

    Super Christmassy and super friendly pub! Six of us came for an early festive lunch and had the best time. The 3 courses were superb, every single choice of food was delicious and we all felt the value was exceptional. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We would love to come back for future meet ups, thank you to the staff for making our experience so wonderful.

    Lovely decor and atmosphere. Staff are very friendly. Menu has variety from your standard run of the meal menu. Food comes out fresh, tasty and hot. Big bonus was being dog friendly. Highly recommend.

    We stuck with the Sunday but it was first class. A bit pricey but we did have three courses. The beef was spot on and a good variety of veg.
