Our 17th century country pub is more than just your local. Think of a roaring fire in the winter, a sun trapped courtyard garden in the summer and seasonally changing menus that reflect the best of the British Isles.

    Can hear other peoples conversations. Food massively over priced. I had the pork belly and it was tough. It should be soft and fall apart. Mash potato has way too much garlic. I had recently had a pork belly dish at the Brampton halt and it was far nicer, and cheaper. Wouldn’t return.

    Hi Samuel, I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience. We wish you would have let us know on the night and we'd have made you something else. I spoke with your server, who confirmed our usual check backs did happen. On the note on hearing the conversations of others, most venues are the same, be it a high street chain or with a Michelin star. Restaurants are public spaces and I find it generally less intrusive if you immerse yourself in your own conversation.

    This restaurant just gets better & better in so many ways. The food is always cooked to perfection, & such generous portions too. Despite a very busy Friday evening full of covers, the service was absolutely flawless, so full credit to everyone that was on front of house. We will be back for more of everything again.

    Four of us dined last night and had a really lovely evening! Food was delicious, we all had mains and desserts and couldn’t fault a thing. Service and ambience spot on too. Will definitely be back. Special mention for the tandoori monkfish tail with pickled mussels - what a dish!!
