    After a successful visit a couple of weeks ago we decided to return. As before, the welcome from the landlord was first-class and the waitress/bar person excellent. Both friendly and efficient. However, on this occasion we were let down by the food. 3 people opted for lasagne which, when it arrived, was little more than layers of pasta with tomato sauce, topped with bechamel; of the beef mince there was little sign. The other person had the chicken burger which he deemed fine. Because of the enthusiasm of the staff we will make a return visit but someone needs to give the chef a talking-to.

    This is a lovely place to eat. The staff are friendly and cheerful and there is a lovely proper pub feel in the bar, whilst in the separate restaurant area, it is quiet. The food is tasty, fresh and well presented, served by people who smile. Definitely recommend.

    It’s not the best Sunday roast we’ve ever had - however + the turkey was delicious + the plates were hot + the service was excellent + the staff were lovely and very welcoming + the chocolate brownie was delicious + the ice cream was lovely (I don’t usually like chocolate icecream!) - The gravy lacked flavour - The veg and roast spuds lacked flavour and weren’t very warm - Our Yorkshire puds were ‘very crisp’ All said we had a very pleasant time and we will come back. Thanks
