The Restaurant
Our main restaurant is modern with a lantern light ceiling which allows in plenty of natural light to flood in. A great piece of real architectural design. The restaurant boast some wonderful bespoke ironwork along with a vintage industrial feel . This restaurant offers a modern ambiance an ideal place to catch up with family and friends and enjoy our mouthwatering local dishes.

The Inn
The Inn is full of old world charm with little hidden nucks for dining. This restaurant is full of character and is used at lunch times primarily, but in the evenings, it offers a cosy ambiance lit by candle light ideal for a more casual approach to dining.

The Inn also offers an afternoon tea which is simply divine. Served between 2pm-5pm by prior bookings only.

The Bar and Snug is a relaxed and super cosy space sticking with the old charm of the Inn which this part of the building offers. It has an impressive wood burning stove and is dog friendly.

    Lovely cosy pub we had visited once for drinks only then next day for food as it was my birthday, my husband had the lamb Henry which was extremely dry for the price you pay, I ordered the chefs duo of roasts, which again hardly any gravy and roast potatoes you couldn’t cut as they were so dry, to spend over £60 on food alone and it to be like that isn’t on, we waited for a member of staff to ask at anytime if everything was okay but never did, we were sat at the table with our finished plates for 40 minutes and no one even moved them

    Lovely restaurant, great quality food cooked freshly. We can see why you should call ahead and book, as it gets busy, but that’s a reflection of the quality of the restaurant.
