Open Tuesday to Sunday with food served all day from noon.
We now have 3 Giant heated Tipis, they provide lots of fresh air and a lovely open environment, they are also heated.

Formerly an 18th Century farmhouse boasting exposed beams, oak floors, exposed brickwork and oak tables. This leads to a very relaxed and cosy atmosphere with candle lit tables and real flame stoves.

The cuisine is typically modern European, classically cooked using cornerstones such as stock pots to create their sauces with a brigade that has a passion for what they do.

This is exciting times for the pub which now has a new bar serving real ale straight from the cask. Be sure to check out the website regularly to keep up with the latest events and offers.

    I came to the restaurant a few weeks ago and spoke to a member of staff about a table in the tipi for my daughters birthday. He booked us a table in the tipi and said he made it so it couldn't be cancelled as it was for a special occasion and my daughter particularly wanted to go in the tipi as I'd told her about it from a previous visit. When we came yesterday we were shown to a table in the pub, when I told them we had booked in the tipi we were told the heating was broken. We accepted this as it couldn't be helped but I wish we'd have been warned as I probably would have cancelled as she particularly wanted the tipi. The service was slow, the male staff were polite but the female member of staff was abrupt and rude. My other daughter told staff it was my daughter birthday, they said they bring out something with a candle init but this didn't happen. Food was nice. Experience was disappointing

    We are regulars here. This is first time I booked through the app as I thought it might be busy. It was! The staff were new, so didn't really recognise us as regulars, but still treated us politely and served us promptly. Food is really good, great value for money and lots of choices.

    We booked a 12o/c table so it was quieter with extremely efficient service. The food was amazing!!! I had a small roast which was plenty for me and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive in the restaurant as well as the bar. Loved the Teepee ambiance and it was a great temperature - not too hot and not chilly, just right. Very cosy and welcoming. We then found a nice space to sit and enjoy a drink between the pub and the Teepee where we sat on sofas by a fire. This is my new ‘go-to’ favourite place for food, service and venue ! Just all round perfect pleasure :)

    Service was quite slow, we were seated for over an hour and a half before being served with our mains. Food was average as chips were undercooked and pie was very dry. Ambience was good in the tipis.

    Disappointed with the menu choice.Not as advertised on website. Struggled to make a decision . It wasn’t exactly warm,there was a draft around your legs. We had gone there for a meal and to book a family party for Feb but decided against it after the disappointment of the menu. It was not just us that complained
