Really enjoyed the meal with friends on Saturday evening. I had fish and chips which was freshly cooked, nicely presented looked, really appetizing, and tasted delicious. The Sunday lunch was also really good, roast beef was lovely and plenty of it. I’ve already booked for Wednesday.

Cosy pub which does a lovely Sunday roast. The meat and vegetables were cooked perfectly and they brought us out extra gravy. Service was very friendly and efficient, and they kindly accommodated us arriving nearly an hour early for our booking.
