First visit in our camper van using Brit stops, food was very good and the service from our waiter (we think the waiter serving us was the duty manager) was as good as it gets, will be returning.

We have been here before and usually the standard of food is very good. Unfortunately the steaks ordered and the sauce were not up to standard Our roast dinners were good and the service very good It was Mother’s Day and therefore very busy. I don’t think they had time for the cooking of steaks

Enjoyed a lovely meal with friends on Friday evening. The food was really good and the service was brilliant, couldn’t fault a thing. The pub was busy, which is great to see, it did get a little noisy but added to the atmosphere and buzz of a Friday night. Definitely worth a visit for dinner, very reasonable too.
