                                                    Another amazing Sunday lunch. All aspects of the meal excellent especially the cheesy leeks! Sat in side area of pub great but very noisy once a few more tables taken. Will definitely return.

                                                    We really like the Shepherd’s Hut. The food is reasonably priced and delicious, relaxed traditional pub/vibe ambience and has managed to combine being a restaurant with being a community oub, something not many places achieve.

                                                    Shepherds Hut is pub orientated and small. The hosts were very lovely. It felt like a community pub and environment.
