Open Tuesday to Sunday with food served all day from noon.
We now have 3 Giant heated Tipis, they provide lots of fresh air and a lovely open environment, they are also heated.

Formerly an 18th Century farmhouse boasting exposed beams, oak floors, exposed brickwork and oak tables. This leads to a very relaxed and cosy atmosphere with candle lit tables and real flame stoves.

The cuisine is typically modern European, classically cooked using cornerstones such as stock pots to create their sauces with a brigade that has a passion for what they do.

This is exciting times for the pub which now has a new bar serving real ale straight from the cask. Be sure to check out the website regularly to keep up with the latest events and offers.

    We booked a 12o/c table so it was quieter with extremely efficient service. The food was amazing!!! I had a small roast which was plenty for me and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive in the restaurant as well as the bar. Loved the Teepee ambiance and it was a great temperature - not too hot and not chilly, just right. Very cosy and welcoming. We then found a nice space to sit and enjoy a drink between the pub and the Teepee where we sat on sofas by a fire. This is my new ‘go-to’ favourite place for food, service and venue ! Just all round perfect pleasure :)

    Service was quite slow, we were seated for over an hour and a half before being served with our mains. Food was average as chips were undercooked and pie was very dry. Ambience was good in the tipis.

    Disappointed with the menu choice.Not as advertised on website. Struggled to make a decision . It wasn’t exactly warm,there was a draft around your legs. We had gone there for a meal and to book a family party for Feb but decided against it after the disappointment of the menu. It was not just us that complained

    We had a friends Christmas lunch and everything was wonderful. Everything from the initial booking and deposit with guest choices were easy. We were seated in the tipi, which I had never seen before but it was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and nicely decorated. I could not fault the staff and as to the food— my compliments to the chefs and all kitchen staff.

    Excellent Sunday dinner. We sat in the Tipee, which has a great atmosphere, but was alittle chilly. That must be hard to control though.
