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.

    Been driving passed here for years ... we thought we have a family meal. We had the Sunday roast... the food was amazing... loved the veg in a separate bowl!! Rich, thick gravy. Generous pudding portions and happy friendly staff..even at the end of a busy shift for them. Amazing service and ambience!! We will be back.

    Overall it was a brilliant experience, my husband's food was amazing. Mine could be slightly better, I had the prawn salad and there were only a couple of prawns and mostly salad which was bit disappointing. The staff was amazing.

    First and last visit. The ambience is downmarket holiday camp. Table was in a vast, cold tent. Aperitif (G&T) arrived with the starter. Service was poor and staff inept. Best food was the bread. Didn’t stay for dessert. Don’t waste your money - there are plenty of very good pubs in the area producing better food and far better experiences than this place.
