Had a business meeting here today and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. From making our booking to the warm welcome to the food and drinks, everything was perfect. Staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this pub. Thank you. Will definitely be returning. Tyler.
Thought we would give this pub another try as I believe it has new owners . Bar staff lovely and friendly but food very disappointing. Went for my birthday , very limited menu when I asked why I was told because its January and they are quite. Didn't have the pie or the salmon so ended up having the chicken curry which was very disappointing. The rice was like a sponge and the curry was very dry . As I said staff lovely but would not go back for food , very disappointing
I hadn’t been in this pub for about 15 years but when I heard it had been refurbished & taken over I thought I should give it ago. Since then I have been in weekly to eat & drink, the food & the service has been great. I would highly recommend the beef burger & chicken burger.
Had a meal and drinks in the bar area , excellent food very good service , felt like it was part of the community, dog friendly, good choice of beers , lager and cider.will visit again when in neighbourhood.
Stayed here in June before a wedding I was attending locally. Room was lovely and clean. The barmaid welcomed us in and gave us the keys etc, the owner was on hand to provide a fan and iron. We left early so didn't eat breakfast but I would stay here again. Great value for money and did I mention that the room was super clean!
