Lovely place to have a drink. Sunday lunches are fabulous
We had Sunday lunch on Mothers days and the food and service was exceptionally good and great value for money. We had our two year old son with us and we were made to feel very welcome. Great food and lovely hosts. We will be back soon.
Recently this pub has been taken over and although I had never been before I can honestly say that this pub is lovely. Had a meal there for my birthday and the staff were lovely and helpful. Meal was gorgeous. Had the Lasagne and couldn't find a fault (unusual for me) Well worth a visit :)
Good food, delicious burger and dog friendly. They also have lots of space so you’re more likely to be a me to find a space last minute. Good service and friendly team :)
Really friendly pub. Hadn't been there for probably 30 years but was on the way back from a day out and decided to pop in. Friendly couple running it and the locals were happy to chat. Menu looks simple but good.. Will come back to try it
Stumbled across this place purely by accident so popped in for a quick one to find the most happy and helpful landlady and staff. Made me extremely welcome as did the cliente. Great little pub with amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended
Absolutely delightful local pub, with fantastic food and excellent service. 10/10, dog friendly and would 100% recommend.
Today, for the first time, we visited for sunday lunch and we were very impressed The pub itself is lovely, rustic & cosy. The bar area is full of large sofas with a very relaxed feel. The restaurant has gorgeous low beams and we had a large table to accommodate 9 of us with plenty of room. The staff were very helpful and friendly, we ordered roast dinners all round and the food was great, very fresh, great range of good & not overcooked vegetables and a good amount of meat The place is also dog friendly, including the restaurant, which was fantastic. The beer garden & patio is large and altho the sun wasn't shining today....i imagine it to be the perfect place to have a beer when the suns out. We will, without a doubt, be back again soon
