    We have eaten here several times before, and never been disappointed. They even spontaneously served the dog a bowl of water! We will be back.

    Welcome was good and seated rapidly. Good choice of wines and ales available. Food was good with the only issue being that the steak and kidney suet pudding did not contain any kidney.
