    Absolutely incredible. Eaten here a few times before and it's always been exeptional! It's usually a special occasion type of place to eat due to the price point but it's a lovely place and definitely worth the cost. Pub has a lovely lively atmosphere and the food is delicious 😋. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Our table wasn't quite ready so we had a drink in the bar first which we didn't mind at all. Would easily recommend to anyone who's looking for epic pub food with a bit of a more gastro high end feel. Amazing place and will definitely visit again.

    Travelled over to be served very mediocre pub grub. Extremely disappointed as we previously had eaten here. Looks like they have lost the brilliant chef they had previously? Cold vegetables and mash burnt inedible liver. Very high price for very poor standard of fare. We will not recommend or return whilst they are happy to serve this standard of food. Our last meal we had here a few years ago was spot on. We couldn’t wait to come back for our special birthday treat. What a let down They had there 2 rosette food for the standard they used to provide. Not this awful pub grub !!
