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.

Nice pub food and excellent service. It was quiet for a Friday night but I’m sure it’s due to the new Covid regulations in place. Excellent choice of gin and beer
