We stopped in for an early dinner on our way home, after being on business further south for the afternoon. This place was easy to park up in, easy access (despite my husband's cast for a recent ankle break!) and warm and welcoming on arrival, with a friendly four-legged face greeting us at the door! It's a nice blend of a local type pub and a modern but characterful eatery. The staff were all very professional and helpful, and we were able to get a table for two straight away (at just gone 5pm on a Thursday evening) but there were quite a few reserved tables for later in the evening. The menu was nice, with some twists on the classic 'homemade gastropub-type food'. We went for a ribeye, and the fish and chips. Both came out quickly and were piping hot, presented nicely and well seasoned. The homemade 'proper' chips are just that...........and were delicious, along with everything else. The fish batter was crispy, and the side of crushed peas that came with it were tasty (and had an extra ingredient that I couldn't put my finger on, but provided a nice difference to the usual mushy peas). My husband was pleased with the steak that was super tender, cooked a perfect medium rare and had cherry tomatoes instead of the usual chunk of cold half tomato you normally get. We're looking forward to another visit to try something else and warm our cockles by the coal fire!
Brilliant service. Family run pub. I have multiple food allergies, intolerances and EoE, which means my diet is very restricted. The service was amazing, and the food excellent. Very accommodating staff. Will definitely be back.
Good selection of local(ish) beers as well the usual ten or so keg beer and cider offerings. I had a pleasant pint from the local (Stoke) Titanic brewery. A large venue made up of a number of semi detached rooms. Quite noisy although not very busy during my visit, Saturday 5pm, few soft surfaces to soften the echoes. Popular with parents of small children (who are allowed to wander about at will and shout and scream) hence three * for atmosphere. I didn't eat this time, but have before and it was fine.
We visited about a month ago and I had a chicken dish on a bed of leeks and Savoy cabbage with tarragon gravy. It was possibly the best meal I have had out for months if not years. My partner was less hungry so just had soup but again, great flavours, lovely bread, great value!
Booked lunch for eight adults and one child . Staff are friendly and happy to help. The roast beef Sunday lunch was delicious.Other guests had burgers etc The pub is dog friendly. Can't fault the place. They also have a diverse menu. Price about average. Recommended and will visit again.
