Fabulous! The new owners have only been there two weeks, so we're only taking a limited number of bookings for Sunday lunch, so we were very lucky to get in and the meal was delicious. Turkey and beef on the menu. We had a bit of both with all the trimmings
We had a family Christmas gathering and we used the skittle alley. The landlady was so lovely. The pub is absolutely gorgeous and felt cosy and inviting. The hosts catered for us, providing a buffet and everyone had a wonderful evening. Thank you so much, we will be definitely visiting again throughout the year.
So, I arrived here at a bit before 2 pm and was a little worried I might be too late for lunch. But fortunately I was in time! I quick perusal of the menu, revealed some tasty treats! And oh my, were there some nice things! Unfortunately, my first choice had sold out - no doubt testament to how good the Crab and Prawn Salad must have been. This turned out to be rather fortuitous however, because my eyes were drawn to the Mezze. This was a sheer delight of Prosciutto, with a couple of perfectly spiced and cooked lamb Kofte balls, some olives and feta cubes, rounded off with a tasty portion of home made Hummus, some lightly charred red pepper, artichoke, and sliced freshly grilled pitta bread. The price was extremely reasonable (read could have been a little more money and still good value). The lady behind the bar was friendly and cheerful, and the whole place had a really good vibe. Excellent - thank you!
We really enjoyed our visit here while we were in the area. We loved the roast dinner it was delicious and I loved the landlords very eccentric style. Good ale too!
Food what we had was very good. Usual pub menu but the specials board was a mixture of world cooking. From Spanish cod to Malaysian cuisine. All well cooked, served and presented with a smiling face, albeit with a mask on. Reasonable priced. We all had a different meal and were all extremely happy. Well done.
