Our new favourite pub. The food is superb, you may think "oh, it's pub food" but it's so much better than that. The whole ambience is very conducive to good drinking and good eating. Can't recommend this enough.

Four adults and two kids for lunch, three courses each for average of £30 per adult and £15 per kid. Average price for a meal today but the difference was the quality of the food which was excellent. Very well cooked and good size portions and served quickly with a smile. Have already booked again for a Sunday roast next month. Well worth a visit I would be surprised if you are disappointed.

Great food, especially the Sunday roasts, and generous portions. Good choice of drinks including real ales served as they should be. Friendly staff for which nothing was too much trouble, and good service. Nice atmosphere in relaxed surroundings.

This pub has been extremely well updated - the drinks selections are varied and with a broad spectrum and the food "quite something to write home about" - I did! Loads of seating and a warm welcome - I have since returned on more than one occasion and must confess their ambience is a real commodity in the world. I shall return again whilst not working too much
