    The food and service was excellent. Even though it was quite busy the food came promptly and was of a high service. Couldn’t fault our visit.

    The service was prompt and attentive. The food was delicious- beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. One of our group said it was one of the best meals he’d had recently.

    Possibly the best Sunday lunch we’ve had in a pub. The roast beef was amazing and the mussels to start were some of the best mussels I’ve ever had! It was all delicious. We’re from Leeds and were in the area for a concert. We found the pub through trip advisor, even though it’s over an hours drive, we’ll definitely be back!

    Staff were polite and courteous however service was really slow. Didn't seem to be enough staff. The food was nice although the coconut rice that came with the salmon was overcooked. Asked for the dessert menu however we got fed up of waiting. Also asked for the card machine to pay. That didn't arrive neither.
