Unfortunately our reservation was in the bar area which we were unaware of. We asked whether there was a table in the restaurant and were told we could wait until the next people vacated. We didn’t have long to wait for a table.

Can thoroughly recommend the steak & ale pie with plenty of veg. Pity there weren't child portions as my meal was a bit too big to justify having a dessert.

Absolutely brilliant time from the moment we stepped inside into the warm and welcoming atmosphere, to when we left in the dark and rain!!😒 Always one of our favourite places to visit, the service was discreet but attentive, food and wine excellent. We couldn't have asked for more. Unreservedly recommended!
