Lovely pub with extremely friendly staff, a great menu and delicious food. We had a lovely meal today for my son’s birthday. We received great service from beginning to end. They kindly turned the heating up for us, and made a cocktail for us which was not on the menu- in fact nothing was too much trouble. We all enjoyed our food which we felt was good value for money. We’ll definitely visit again.
