Excellent brunch menu and we really enjoyed bacon, black pudding and mushroom rolls. Lovely gluten free bread too. Friendly helpful staff, particularly Dylan and Naomi We’ll be back x

Wow. What a lovely discovery this pub is. From the moment we walked in the place felt welcoming, with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. They have a great selection of drinks, including a rather excellent Japanese Whiskey. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, tasty, decent portions without being overwhelmingly large, I had the stacked burger which was superb, my wife had Scampi, which she said was equally tasty. The staff were super friendly, actually having time to stop for a chat, rather than just serve. Such a refreshing change to find a pub that feels like it puts making you feel welcome top of its list. Definitely one to return to.

Good Sunday lunch, all three of us enjoyed our choices. A tiny point wish there could have been crackling with the pork

After a mixup with the booking as the restaurant had no record of the booking, the staff reacted well and found us a table so disaster averted. Overall, it was a very positive experience, the tables are slightly close together, but that is one of those things that maybe is just me !? Only single downside was that my fries were nowhere near hot.. but apart from that, it was great
