Charming traditional pub with a proper bar and tables, and a cosy wood-burning stove. High quality ingredients well made into tasty dishes. Tempura prawns were fresh, firm and juicy, and clearly made from scratch in the kitchen. Lamb shank roast with all the trimmings was a great Sunday treat.

Enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon at The Holt, afternoon tea was lovely, nice atmosphere and decorated with Christmas tress and a lovely fire. Nice to have warm scones as some places do not do this, and nice sandwiches and cakes. We needed to do a last minute change with the sandwich's from their menu, and the were very obliging to do so.
