Had a very excellent fish finger sandwich for lunch which exceeded my expectations. Overall very impressed with this lovely pub. Good to see place like this still be very professionally run. Hope to come back soon for the Sunday roast

We had a post-funeral wake here this afternoon. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us and the buffet was varied, fresh and very tasty. It was a nice touch that the ? manager came out into the garden to say goodbye to us at the end of his shift and the chef provided boxes to take home some of the buffet leftovers. We appreciated the kindness and sensitivity of all the staff.
Lovely pub with a really nice atmosphere. Staff were friendly and the food was fantastic - good selection for vegans, I can highly recommend the vegan lasagne and the vegan cheesecake, delicious.
Great lunch time food in new outdoor garden dining. We had the tortilla wraps, which were quite filling and well cooked. Also ordered a cheeky cheesy chips, naughty!
