    Lovely pub, helpful and friendly staff. Typical pub grub food, which was very tasty. I had the Cheese and Bacon burger which was delicious.

    I had opted for the beef roast my food was cold and the beef needed a hacksaw to cut through it. I had a side order of pigs in blankets that looked like they had been cooked in the deep fat fryer! The roast spuds was from the freezer , my husband had fish and chips and he said they was really nice , so disappointed
