The meal, overall, wasn’t quite as good as I’ve had on previous visits, the plate hadn’t been heated and consequently the cauliflower purée was stone cold as were the greens, there wasn’t a lot of either so I just ate them with the sauce which was still nice and hot. Otherwise it was all beautifully cooked and presented.

A very warm welcome despite the online booking system allowing us to book a table that was later than “last food orders” Great ambience, hospitality and wonderful food. Thoroughly recommend this pub for food and or just a pleasant drink 🥳

Wonderful meal, great atmosphere and value for money. Varied choice of dishes. I chose Salmon Florentine and it was delicious especially the sauce served with it.
