We had a lovely welcome when we arrived with our dog and were able to sit at our booked table a bit earlier and order easily and quickly. Lots of staff working, all happy and friendly. The bar was busy, as was the restaurant, so some large groups, but all in good humour and lovely to see a pub busy and successful. Our food was really delicious - we did the sharing platter as a starter and it was amazing. Then one chicken dish and one steak, which was very nicely cooked and very tasty. Enjoyed our meal and the pub in general. We have a motorhome and were able to stay overnight in the car park (prior agreed) which was quiet and a good night.
