Fantastic. Go on a Thursday, Pie Night, and have one of their truly delicious pies. Proper cooking! Absolutely lovely place.

Such a shame, had been to this pub years ago and it was amazing. Chose it to celebrate my birthday with my family. There were 9 of us. What a shocker, never have we ever been served such poor food. Fish was awful, over cooked and hardly any fish when you broke the batter. The fries were like a cheap version of stringfellows. Fillet steak ordered medium was well over done, ribs were like mush. The cook (not chef) was sitting in the bar on our arrival and went into the kitchen to rustle up our meals. We all left hungry, and we didn't pay for the steak and the fish, really the whole lot should have been refunded for the worst ever dining experience we have ever had, we even got my birthday cake back from behind the bar to take home as we couldn't bare being in there anymore. No Manager came to apologise and it was left to a young girl to deal with us. Had it been my pub I would have done everything to try and resolve. I would have preferred them to reject the booking if they could not cater for a large party. Awful and such a shame.

Good meal, best pie I've had in ages. Chicken pesto pasta was a bit overcooked and over pesto'd but tasted OK. Nice place as well. Worth a visit.

Love the place and ambiance. Staff was really friendly. A bit sad that when we went, a few of their menu items were not available. We went there for dinner on a Saturday night. The food we ordered was good.

Fab place, landlady very friendly and Douglas (or Duncan) the resident dog who knows not to go on the carpet, no matter how often you call him. Went just before lockdown no. 2 for dinner, food was lovely and very good atmosphere. The pub is out of the way, we were staying round the corner so walked here. Apparently they do a mean Sunday roast although not tried so can't comment. If its anything like the food we had though, it will be delicious. Defo pay them a visit, very good value for money!
