    Pros: beautiful, cosy pub with a great pork belly roast, great beer/ cider list. Cons: service was either really lovely or a little bit unfriendly but overall inconsistent, sticky toffee pudding wasn’t great.

    Lovely Sunday lunch with friends and our 9 year old daughter. Everyone had a great time. The service was lovely and the tall chap with the glasses (I didn’t get his name) was a credit to the whole place. The beer was great. The food was outstanding. If I lived 70 miles closer this would definitely be my local. We will return! Thank you all

    Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!

    Definitely one of the best roast dinners around! I had booked this over 6months in advance due to it being so busy and it was worth the wait. The pub has a really good vibe, the food was outstanding. The staff who were behind the bar and who also served us at our table were very lovely. I will definitely return and highly recommend this place.
