    Two of our meals were as excellent as usual. My wife ordered the spaghetti meatballs and while the pasta and sauce were ok the meatballs were vastly overcooked and like boulders. Sadly inedible. Shame as this is our “local” where we take all our visitors .

    I have never been here before, we live around 30 miles away from the restaurant so it has never been on our radar. I had left it late to book somewhere for Valentine’s Day and had to look further afield. Pleased to say that we will definitely be back! The staff very extremely friendly and attentive, the set up of the room was lovely and homely feeling. And the food, wow! All 3 courses were 10/10, absolutely faultless! Good portion sizes too and all extremely tasty! Especially the satay sauce on the starter and the toffee sauce on the pudding! I can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you all for a lovely evening!

    Delicious food served by friendly, attentive staff in a relaxed atmosphere. A very dog-friendly venue. I particularly enjoyed the local scallops and my other half and I both agreed we’d never ever tasted such lovely smooth black pudding. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for! Would highly recommend and will definitely go back the next time we visit the area!

    We originally booked to eat in the bar but actually ate in the residents lounge area which was much nicer. Food and service were great. There is a nice informal feel to the place which makes it great to dine in.
