    On arrival we were made very welcome. Our first round of drinks were immediately put on a tab and we were shown to our reserved pre-booked table. Our order was taken within 5 mins and arrived at the table within 10 mins. Food was excellent as was the desert. We had a second round of drinks and enjoyed each other's company in very pleasant surroundings, with a wonderful flood light views of the local church. On paying at the end of the evening, we were thanked very kindly for our visit. You don't find many establishments offering this kind of service anymore. Five stars from us both

    Very quiet on weekday lunchtimes but chose venue due to where people were travelling from. fairly extensive menu,good for lunchtime. Landlord always polite and hospitable. My friend asked for a mint tea but they do not do flavoured teas so had hot water instead which she was happy with.
