    We had the beef ale stew and dumplings it was delicious (a little more if the very tasty gravy/sauce would have been nice). The service was excellent and very friendly and attentive without being over obstusive. Very nice surroundings with some interesting art work.

    Hi Linda, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We completely take on board your feedback about our delicious gravy and will increase this in the future. Cheers, Kate
