We booked a table well in advance and when we arrived there was no other diners, we were put in a dark room off the side of the bar on our own up a corner with ghastly lighting it was very dark and sad looking we mentioned and questioned this to the staff we did not want to sit in a room on our own but we were not offered the main room with the fire. We mentioned it on several occasions but just left to stay in the room. Its a shame as the food was good and it spoiled the evening. The bench seating is also too high and very uncomfortable.

Lovely pub and friendly and helpful staff. The menu had a good choice of dishes but having a pie menu was the clincher to booking a table hear. The steak and Ale pie with mash and veg was amazing and a great potion too . I would definitely recommend eating hear .

Visited during the first few days of reopening for indoor dining. Everything was very organised and the restaurant was clean and spacious. The service was quick and staff extra friendly. I had the fish and chips, which were fresh and extra tasty. Stayed for a couple more drinks as atmosphere was welcoming and peaceful
