What a fantastic and lovely pub/restaurant. Staff food and service was 1st class. I'm so glad it's not on my doorstep ...... i would be bankrupt. All the best to all cheers

I eat out regularly and cannot see how they justify the prices charged. We had a booking but were then asked to wait in the bar area for over half an hour, even though the table we were eventually taken to was vacant when we arrived. We were seated in a really inconvenient position, with staff continuously needing to squeeze past our table to access the kitchen, making us feel completely in the way. The staff were pleasant and the food was generally good but overpriced in my opinion. With so many other lovely restaurants and pubs around, we won’t be returning.

Pleasant surprise. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Changed our table without a fuss. Goats cheese starter was good. My husband had the scallops which he enjoyed and pigeon breast- cooked pink. 3 of us had roast dinners, 2 with mushroom, me lamb. Presented well, but feel for the money mash and cauliflower cheese could be included. Too full for desserts, then sat outside- lots of very pleasant outside areas and the patio doors in both rooms are great on these hot days. Will go again to eat.

Visited on a Sunday as part of a family get together and I had high expectations. Unfortunately the food wasn't good. The roast beef was extremely salty and barely edible. The roast potatoes were very weird as if they had been rolled in flour before cooking. The Prawn starter was a disaster...they place the avo & prawns on top of chopped salad so the lettuce is soggy and there's no bread with the prawn starter!!! Why not??? Most of our party commented on the saltiness of the food. I was asked at the bar "how was your meal" when I told the lady it was very salty she replied "well at least you don't have to wash up!" How rude!! Not even a sorry you didn't enjoy it, totally disrespectful and totally disregarded my complaint. A well deserved 1 *

We've been driving past this place for the last 6 yrs and decided it was time to try it. The location is nice although the back room would be better as an dining room. To be honest we were disappointed. The owner wasn't a natural host and seemed weary with the whole thing. The food was pricey so we were expecting better. The mussels were very salty and came with no bread. The lamb was very pink and pooled blood onto the plate, the other lamb was a strange square of shredded breast meat, coated in heavily spiced dust which was overpowering. We couldn't eat it. There was a sauce that seemed like it was out of a bottle. I think this place needs to up its game. There are so many better (and cheaper) places for a good dining experience.
