    The food wasn’t great, meat was tough and overcooked. We were excited to have their Sunday roast and booked weeks in advance of our trip. We were really disappointed to discover while we were there that there was also pub trivia going on and the place was packed for it. Not the experience we were looking for, I wish the website mentioned that when booking. It wouldn’t have mattered though, Iike I said the meat was overcooked and the Yorkshire puddings were burned.

    Really good option for dinner and drinks. But be sure to book. Food menu is not very extensive but everything we tried was good. Drinks are fare price and service was good. The place is really cozy and beautiful!

    The Sunday Roast that is served here is an experience your taste buds will savor for a very long time. The macaroni & cheese dish is an award-winning experience and I am desperately trying to make the replicate the dish at home!
