    Lovely meals, however would have been 5 stars if the veg had been hot. Also we had the food brought to table but had to ask for cutlery. All that said it was still very nice and we would definitely go again.

    Great pub which perfectly combines traditional and modern styles. Lovely atmosphere. Great service from friendly, professional staff. Food was lovely. I had squid to start and steak as my main. Both were cooked perfectly. Good selection of wine and beers. Dog friendly.
