To keep you on your toes our head chef changes our evening menu regularly depending on what comes in fresh that day. Everything we offer is homemade and we source as much of the produce as we can as locally as possible. We always make sure there is a choice on the menu for Vegetarians, and we ask that when booking you let us know of any dietary requirements so we can tailor that evening’s menu appropriately.

    This is a traditional pub serving the community but also giving visitors a warm welcome. We’ve eaten here a number of times over the years when visiting the are but this was our first visit under the new ownership. Happily the standards have remained high and we had a delicious meal in a relaxed cosy setting and were well looked after by the staff. Our dog was really welcomed with dog treats and a bowl of water.

    Why this pub is not packed with diners is a mystery - because it serves outstanding food - staff were welcoming & friendly & the food we had the Sunday Menu was delicious could not fault it - we will definitely return - beautiful setting too.

    Great food and service and combination of a good local pub with and an excellent restaurant - unusual these days. My wife’s vegetarian tart was as good a vegetarian meal as she had anywhere and my Scampi the best I’ve had for many years. Much better wines than most pubs and a good selection of beers. We’re going back again.
