Apparently known for its food but the kitchen was closed when we arrived. A new manager had just taken over and told us that they were still recruiting for a chef. Beer was OK but atmosphere was dead at lunchtime midweek.

3 night stay at the avenue. Very friendly team. We were well looked after. Local kindly booked us a taxi with friendly taxi driver. Sadly no food in evenings but city centre not far away.

Weekend away in the area. Great place to stay with a friendly Landlord and helpful, polite Staff. The Pub was spotlessly clean and well presented. Food was excellent with a good breakfast in the morning. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

A warm welcome by Peter and Karen, all staff so friendly and encouraged to spend time with customers, nice touch, meals first class, lovely large comfortable room, and the most comfortable bed allowing for a great night's rest. Quiet village, friendly people, lovely spacious beer garden to the rear, and plenty of seating out the front of The Avenue. Will certainly be returning, finally, full English breakfast, toast, cereal, coffee, juice, everything you would expect in great surroundings. *****
