    We were a group of 5 that dined yesterday for lunch. We all thoroughly enjoyed our dishes, all extremely well presented and nothing left on our plates! The service was spot on, lovely young girl who was most polite. Only negative was that we were a little cold but luckily, seated by the fire, we did eventually warm up.

    Lovely menu and very tasty food - well the mains at least. Staff were brilliant - very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Only slight downside was the desserts. We had three different ones and none of them were particularly nice. Grainy cheesecake, bubbly brownie (weird texture) and cold rice pudding. That was just weird. Surprising considering the quality of the mains which were all delicious.

    The room is lovely as were the staff . Unfortunately the food was not great . Husband and friend chose a roast and quite honestly their plates were sparse!!! 3 measley potatoes 1 carrot 1 parsnip and even the meat wasn’t great I felt embarrassed as had told friend how good the food at this place was!! I had the spinach and leek lasagne as did my daughter which was fine it comes with few slices of garlic bread but would have preferred a salad as an option , Limited stater choice and don’t get the soup it’s in such a shallow bowl!!!

    Lovely food - great Sunday roast! We loved the “Blooming Onion” starter, it was delicious and very creative. Staff were friendly and attentive. Shame they ran out of the Apple Crumble!

    It was a quiet day so the pub was very comfortable. Service was just right and the food excellent. The very large portion of apple crumble and custard was delicious but defeated us!
