It’s changed ownership/management. There used to be an excellent wine list and imaginative food. Now it’s a bog standard pub.

We have been lots of times and had excellent food etc. This pub has recently changed hands and gone down market in many ways I am sorry to say. Big disappointment in many ways. Can’t see it lasting long unless they address the problems.

Delicious Sunday lunch thank you. Our son really enjoyed his GF vegetarian pie. My husband and I both had roast beef. Thick juicy slices of perfectly cooked meat and loads of vegetables.

Really enjoyable meal celebrating my husband's birthday. There were 2 other people dining that evening who also had a birthday, so the staff sang "happy birthday" 3 times. The food was lovely - not over-generous in size, but perfectly acceptable - and delicious and nicely presented. The scallops with pureed corn were amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only slight downside was that we had chosen a table in the corner, opposite the door - and oh my, how many people go in and out and DON'T SHUT THE DOOR! Perhaps a stronger door closer would be appreciated - but will definitely sit elsewhere next time. Overall, a really lovely meal and we will definitely be back.
