    Our second time to the Butt Inn and again we were delighted by the Sunday dinner and quantity. The food is home cooked quality and absolutely delicious. The staff as before are great, friendly and attentive. You can’t leave a tip on card so it will need to be cash, we remembered from our first trip. Lovely experience at Christmas

    We had to wait a long time for our food. When paying our bill no one told us beforehand the tip had to be paid separately in cash.

    Super Christmassy and super friendly pub! Six of us came for an early festive lunch and had the best time. The 3 courses were superb, every single choice of food was delicious and we all felt the value was exceptional. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We would love to come back for future meet ups, thank you to the staff for making our experience so wonderful.
