    Visited for Sunday lunch and it didn’t disappoint. Roast lamb was lovely with a nice selection of Veg and a fab Yorkshire Pudding. Partner had fish and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed. Ordered the old Winchester creme brûlée for pudding and didn’t read the menu right, turned out to be a cheese plate equivalent, which was disappointing as I was hoping for the real custard type creme brûlée. Could have been made clearer in the description - It was tasty but not a pudding. Service was good and lovely decor. Will revisit but note to self, thoroughly read the menu.

    Delicious sandwiches, wine and coffee However, completely shocked at the cost!! 2 x sandwiches 1 x very small bowl chips 2 x coffee 2x large wines and 2 x small £88!!!!!! We only wanted lunch not the cost of a full evening out. To be honest we split the bill between 2 and had thought that our halves were for the full amount!! £10 fir sandwich was acceptable but £66 fir 2 coffees and 4 glasses of wine?? Ridiculous, Wont be going back

    Much better than run of the mill pub food. Makes you want to go back to try the rest of the menu. Felt like a proper pub. Will visit again.

    We booked for 5pm and when we arrived the servers were really friendly and gave us the pizza menu and the Sunday Al a carte menu, we opted to sit outside so when we came in to order shortly after we were suprised to hear that they were no longer serving the Al a carte food. Our booking was at 5pm which happens to be when they stop this menu so we were confused as to why we received this menu. We then opted to have pizza as we were enjoying sitting outside in the sun and it was a lovely atmosphere, they took a long time to arrive which is fine as they’re fresh however all 3 were hard and burnt at the bottom which made them not worth the wait. We would like to return and try again however it was disappointing as a special occasion meal.
