“ Very busy restaurant and since last time has had a nice revamp deco. FOH Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very busy and required to be patient. Food came and both presented well but lacked flavour and were dry. However, I will still come back again. It's a very nice place. ”
“ Lovely food but slow service because it was busy and you could tell the staff had had a long day as most weren't very friendly. Shame as it looked like a nice village pub. ”
“ Good food with ample portions. Staff excellent. Very popular place so booking is essential. Large eating area. So maybe not the best for an intimate meal for two. But would recommend giving this a try as the food quality is very good ”

The menu is packed with hearty, well-prepared dishes, from classic pub favorites like fish and chips and steak pie to more creative specials. Everything is fresh, generous in portion, and full of flavour. Their Sunday roast is a standout—tender meat, crispy roast potatoes, and all the trimmings done just right. The staff are always cheerful and attentive, making you feel right at home. There’s a lovely mix of locals and visitors, giving the place a relaxed, community vibe. Cheers! ”
