It was an amazing experience. A super limited menu, which shows everything is made fresh and knowing everything is produced, forged or locally sourced. The service was very fun and looked after, without being over bearing. The food was generous and so delicious! A must visit and I'm looking forward to returning!

Delicious food. Nice decor. Helpful staff. Very high standard of pub Sunday lunch. Roast beef and roast pork were excellent. Yummy homemade style desserts - apple crumble was super. Giant cheeseboard with good crackers and grapes. Not sure about the honey but that’s personal taste

    The staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was lovely too. It took a while for the main meals to come out but we were both in a rush and there was a large table that had ordered just before us. There was a singer, who was really good. Not too loud so you cited still have a conversation. Was quite expensive but we did have quite a lot of wine! Would recommend.
