    Food really good. Service was a little bit slow at the start but otherwise friendly and relaxed. Loved the fact that there were lots of dogs there too. We all had pies which were great. The table next to us had the Sunday roast which looked amazing.

    The food was excellent. The pies and fish and chips were both amazing and the sticky toffee pudding was above and beyond. We loved the entire decor and ambience of the restaurant. They knocked it out of the park.

    Natalie, Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed everything—from the pies and fish and chips to the sticky toffee pudding (a house favorite that takes its role very seriously). It’s also lovely to hear the decor and ambience hit the right notes. We’ll be aiming to knock it out of the park again on your next visit! Team Badger 🦡
