Fantastic food and a great relaxed atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The Sunday roast is the best in the area! I would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

The Belly Pork was too large with the stuffing but tasty enough. The roast potatoes were hard tasteless and scorched.

Food was superb but the service was sadly lacking, another customer felt able to vape next to and was only challenged when I complained. Over an hour between courses/ dishes at one point. Such a shame as the food was lovely but not the experience we are looking for. We will not be returning.
