Love the ambience of this place. The food was lovely and I had come with 3 friends for a Birthday/Christmas celebration. It was very cold evening but was warm and cosy in the restaurant. We all enjoyed our meals. The price was reasonable and we will visit again soon. The only thing I don’t like is the configuration of the entrance / exit of the car park. We observed several cars not following the directions in and out . Potential for an accident if not careful.

Friendly local pub with excellent pub grub with flare and taste! Great service from Geoff! Do try the Beer battered cod but the small size is lovely and rather huge, such good value and really tasty. Everything was well presented and we all enjoyed our lunch.

Started with a mix-up over drinks - this was corrected. We then both chose beetroot and goat's cheese mousse which looked quite lost on the large plate. We both found this starter very small and quite strange! I ordered chicken which was supposed to be served with seasonal vegetables......but I didn't get any! This has happened previously. Unfortunately we didn't have the menu so weren't able to check that veg was included - so I just had chicken and mash. The chef was good enough to make a gluten free sauce for me. My friend had fish & chips which she was quite happy with. She also enjoyed her cheesecake - the only dessert I could have was ice-cream but this was not very enjoyable. On leaving we followed the drive to the right as instructed, but on driving out and to the left onto the main road there was a loud bang under the car - this has also happened previously - presumably the suspension!

Table was ready on arrival and staff very attentive. Had a fussy 3 year old but her needs were catered for without question. Food was very good (had roast dinners).
