‘‘ There is soul, and there are things.
Imagine a world made up only of objects,
A world of idle tools,
A restaurant of nothing but tables and chairs,
A large empty theater, or a deserted plaza in summer.
They cry out for the service of man,
The service to give them life.
We call on man to display his splendid capabilities.
And
We observe with undivided attention,
Because
The little nuances in the quality of his service
Give a flawless measure of his mind,
They tell us frankly what his soul is worth,
Because,
To serve is first to love. ’’
– Arrigo Cipriani

Lovely pub. Great staff, very friendly and quick service at the bar. Great handcut and cooked crisps. Interesting painting on the wall. However, it was kind of cold in there, and the loo was absolutely freezing 🥶 They did have a log burner, which was lit, and they added more logs throughout the night. Would definitely go back again, as the staff were so lovely and the food (we didn't order any), but it looked delicious! Just may not choose such cold weather to be out in.
The food is so tasty. So much so, I ate it before realising I didn't take a photo. I had lamb with roast potatoes and cabbage, which had a little too much fat on for me; I cut around it, but I got a good portion. The service was friendly. Bit rubbish that the kitchen closes at 5.30pm. Otherwise, no complaints. The art on the walls are also interesting
Delicious dinner yesterday in the renovated gastro pub. Service was superb & food delicious. I’ve been dining here for decades & it’s finally back to its best. Marco was especially friendly & charming!
I've eaten here many times over several years - both lunches and dinners - and I think that the current average rating (4.4) is on the low side. The menu changes frequently and is unusually ambitious for a pub. Fortunately, it delivers on the promises made and the food is high-quality, skillfully cooked and generously portioned. The dining room has very high ceilings, giving a welcoming feeling of space. Although the kitchen is semi-open, the extraction system means that cooking smells stay away from the diners. The service is very good. The art on the walls is something of an acquired taste. The only points of improvement I can think of are that the smell of cigarettes can waft inside when people go into the covered patio to smoke and the toilets could do with a little tlc.
The place is really cool. Decent drinks and a laid back atmosphere, which lets u relax after an exhausting week. Food is very well done and fills u up, so u won’t leave the place hungry. Folks u come here are very friendly and open minded. Beer prices are decent and u have a good selection you can choose from. All in all one of the best pubs in the area.
