    Fish and chips was really excellent. Desserts seemed a little overpriced but great service and a good atmosphere too.

    Another successful lunch at the Hatch Inn. We had just completed six miles on the Forest Way so this was a well deserved lunch. The food and service was great and it certainly had a very warm ambiance today, a good crowd of people were in the Inn.
