Lovely pub restaurant with different seating areas including outside tables. Plenty of parking. Light bite lunch menu a good option for smaller appetites and even then they are very filling. Service is friendly yet professional.

Pleasant welcome, food tasty but long wait and we had to chase it up. Several tables served before us for no obvious reason. Also, we'd asked when booking (very early) for quieter table but were in the doorway which everyone has to pass.

Great place to eat. Very busy for a Wednesday lunchtime but we didn't have to wait too long for our food, which was delicious! A bit cramped feeling in the restaurant, as there was a large party in there, but overall no complaints. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful pub really lovely attentive staff unfortunately the food was disappointing. Triple cooked chips looked as though they were the leftover dregs , small portions tasteless burger . Very disappointing meal overall and expensive . Would go again for a drink but not for food such a shame

There are plenty of signs telling you to leave the registration of your car at the bar computer. The food was ok however for me I felt there was a limited choice.One of our company had the ‘ Lamb Shank’ and he loved it.

Food was lovely..I had the burger and wife had fish finger sandwich. Only slight negative is the buns they use just fall apart. Buns need to be more robust. 🙂
