We are renowned for locally sourced produce, in particular freshly caught fish specials that change based on local availability.
Our menu is regularly described as 'pub food with a twist' and has recently been awarded the Good Food Award for Gastro Pubs for a fourth year.

Families, Dogs & Muddy Boots are all welcome.
We are very dog friendly but please let us know if you're bringing a dog.

We look forward to welcoming you to our idyllic riverside pub.

    Great location and wonderful food, the Sunday lunch service was busy on a beautiful autumn half term but nothing the management couldn’t cope with. Lots of options to sit outside or in the cabin. Our waitress was particularly nice and helpful.

    It's a great place but you don't go there for the food. Go when it's light (they open the kitchen from 3 at the moment, not 6 as it says on the website, might be earlier in summer) and enjoy the views - it's spectacular but there's nothing to see when it's dark. Food is pretty average pub fare and expensive for what it is but you're paying for the experience. 4 stars overall - 3 for the food and 5 for the place.
