    Gorgeous pub with lovely food and ambience. My only criticism was the lack of a vegetarian main option; offering a vegan main or a vegan burger is a bit lazy. The goat’s cheese tart starter (which I had as my main) was so delicious - why not offer that as a main and make it a bit bigger? Everything was delicious!

    We have been many times, but this has been the first time I have been disappointed with the food, we had to send our dinner back as it was cold and normally they have a fantastic array of different vegetables , done in different ways which are literally delicious. When I asked about why they had changed from the previous roasts , they are apparently trying something different. My opinion would be don't change something that was already great, as this meal really wasn’t up to there normal standard. The service, atmosphere is always lovely and they did obviously apologise.

    This is our local pub and we went for the steak special it was perfectly cooked and the Shiraz wine went down very easily. Joe the manager is top-notch with the service and there was a nice Saturday night buzz in the place we sat by the fire and roasted ourselves, it was lovely.

    My wife & I had Sunday roast beef - it was excellent. The sirloin was nicely pink and very tender - all the veg were beautifully cooked. The service was outstanding and we enjoyed ourselves - many thanks to all your team.

    Incredibly hospitable. Could not do enough for us on an impromptu birthday lunch. The pie of the day “chicken balti” was rammed full of filling and flavour.
