    A great Sunday lunch with the family. A wide menu selection and still roasts available late afternoon which went down well with our group! Pretty generous portions and good quality food. Ambiance and service were great, felt very Christmassy and cosy. Definitely recommend!

    Food was OK for the price. Disappointed that for a pub advertising itself as the only pub by the river that you can't even see the river from inside?? It would have been better to have sat in the outdoor covered area by the actual river .....May have not been in use as too cold??? But heating there and customers given the option to there would be a much better experience.
