Terrible service and food. We were all squeezed into the corner of the bar even though there was a restaurant but for some bizarre reason it was closed off. We should have learned from our last experience there last year but we thought we would give it the benefit of the doubt. Thank goodness for The Wheatsheaf where we ate the following evening.

We had an evening meal booked for Boxing Day and the food was really rather yummy. The whole evening was lovely and the staff were all superb too. Dog friendly and great atmosphere

Christmas Day food was quite nice but not really worth the money. The main problem was the service, there wasn’t any so won’t be returning.

We booked a table for before 7pm. Food was great and served quickly. We had steak and ale pie, burgers and apple and raspberry crumble - all very filling and delicious! Staff friendly yet professional. Felt like a quaint countryside pub, with classic wooden interior. Appreciated the dining area being a dog free zone.
