Our first visit. Friday night so we booked to ensure we could get a table. Lovely old pub with lots of character. Greeted warmly and shown to our table promptly. Nice menu from which the husband chose fish and chips and I chose the cod. Both were very well presented and very tasty. I felt my piece of cod was on the small side. However, it was very tasty. We would certainly go back.
