    We had a fabulous evening in the inn. The staff knew all about being coeliac and made us feel safe. Wonderful live music and superb food, thank you all!

    First class meal in a lovely setting. Serving staff were first class as well, although there was a bit of a wait but they did explain that as soon as we arrived. Its a popular venue locally, so booking is definitely advised. We haven't been for a while, but we will certainly be back.

    Overall a good meal in a nice pub restaurant. Food was good quality. I had the steak pie main which had plenty of nicely cooked beef. Wife had the ham and leek pie but she didn’t particularly enjoy the taste although, again, it had a good amount of filling. My chicken wing starter was a bit disappointing. 3 small wings for £6.95 was pretty poor value. Nicely presented but double the quantity in a basket would have been better received! Wouldn’t mind seeing a slightly improved selection of desserts. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is very pleasant to eat in. Overall, a good meal but it felt a bit pricy for good pub food. We might be back again for a special occasion but unlikely to make it a regular thing.
