We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

The food was delicious. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Loved the decor but the overhead lighting is too bright—I think the atmosphere would be warmer and cozier if the overhead lighting was dimmed, making the most of the fireplace and the cute little lamps on the tables.

We visited for a roast on Sunday and had an absolutely fabulous meal. The beef was perfectly pink, and the portions were huge (but still great quality). The lady serving us was extremely friendly and made us feel so welcome. Thank you for such a wonderful lunch.
