About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Open Tuesday to Sunday with food served all day from noon.
We now have 3 Giant heated Tipis, they provide lots of fresh air and a lovely open environment, they are also heated.

Formerly an 18th Century farmhouse boasting exposed beams, oak floors, exposed brickwork and oak tables. This leads to a very relaxed and cosy atmosphere with candle lit tables and real flame stoves.

The cuisine is typically modern European, classically cooked using cornerstones such as stock pots to create their sauces with a brigade that has a passion for what they do.

This is exciting times for the pub which now has a new bar serving real ale straight from the cask. Be sure to check out the website regularly to keep up with the latest events and offers.

    Loved this place with it’s wooden beams but light and open space. The service was great and we really enjoyed the food as well. The Roast Beef was epic and the cheesy leeks even better. Thanks Neil

    The sunday roast was nice, however I have an issue with service charge. I was in hospitality for years and have a real grievance with the service charge on a sunday roast in a pub. Surely the bill includes the food being made and bought to my table, unless I am missing something. If the staff are relying on the service charge, which I very much doubt they are receiving. Simply increase their wages and reflect this in your prices. The service charge reminds me of hiring a car, you get a quote and pay online, then you arrive at the front desk and they ask for more money, completely the same!
