    We made a last minute decision to eat out, and had a lovely meal. The Inn has really come on over the last couple of years. The food was excellent, good value and the staff were great. The offer of their Supper Club with excellent value 2 or 3 courses and money off wine was an added bonus.

    Just what we needed, a superb roast dinner in a cosy atmosphere on a very windy and rainy day. Lovely staff

    I have eaten at the Butt a few times now and always had good food and service. This visit was not quite so satisfactory.

    My ratings re my visit for Sunday lunch would have been full stars but unfortunately when I had nearly eaten my lunch I suddenly realised I hadn’t had any roast potatoes but I had had a portion of cauliflower cheese which I think distracted my attention otherwise couldn’t fault it
