A group of us went for Sunday lunch. They were short staffed due to the storm but the service generally was very good and quick. As soon as we pointed out the problem with a drink order, it was dealt with swiftly. Food was excellent, with beautiful presentation. We all agreed that we’d come back

What a fantastic find. The moment we arrived we were warmly greeted by the bar and waiting staff. Very attentive throughout. A lovely cosy atmosphere as you would want from an English pub, Food choices were varied and suited all tastes and the standard of cuisine was very good. We live in France so for us this was a treat and we will be back
