Lovely welcoming pub with a super restaurant. We were thoughtfully seated & served superbly through the evening. The food is consistently excellent quality & prepared beautifully. Always a special occasion, eating here, whether it's an evening out or lunch time catch up.

The variety of dishes was really good . Inventive and some quite unusual dishes for a pub, but all of the favourites too. Wine list was good- not too extensive but our Rioja was delicious and served at the perfect temperature. Service was friendly and punctual and the decor and cleanliness of the pub were excellent . The new owners have certainly made many improvements to the layout. We will definitely return.

Not been here before, but always wanted to try it. Had family visiting, so decided to give it a try. Glad I did, the food was really good and a great amount of choice. Service was spot on and we really enjoyed our evening and the food and drink. Definitely will be going back again
