If you want a nice meal and excellent service then this is the place to go
The meals were lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful. There is parking around the back.
Whilst working in the area for a week, I stumbled upon this local pub after passing each morning on my daily commute. So on a Friday evening after work at 6:30, I popped in for a pint and some dinner. Staff greeted me and so did the small group sitting directly opposite the main bar. I ordered a Guinness and lamb & mint pie with chips and salad. I tried to stroke the dog who seemed to be a resident fixture but had no joy. I got a bark at least. Not sure if it was welcome or bog off? I took my seat in the empty pub area and listened to the sounds. All from 1980’s, so I relocated to the other seats by the board games. Approximately twenty minutes later, a shy teenage waitress brought my meal to me. Didn’t engage in conversation just smiled. The meal was very good, pie was very tasty. Lamb was succulent, plentiful and the gravy was delicious. The pastry was a nice texture and the chips with salad were fine. The waitress was too shy to ask if I wanted a desert after collecting my plate. I thanked the barmaid for the meal and made my way to the car park. Upon leaving a local sat at the bar quipped “ he’s from the south “ which I found to be childish if I’m honest. Then as I crossed the car park, staff unloading groceries from a car thanked me for my custom.
Perfect pub location for us as we camped near by. Lovely friendly staff. Dog friendly in the bar area where u can eat as well, or u can eat at the back in the dining room. Food is good pub grub, reasonable prices. Burger was massive!! We enjoyed mixing with locals and have a lovely time, would go back.
I went for sunday lunch with family and it was a 5 star meal and service and dog friendly I left there very full
A large group of us had the Sunday lunch. We'd booked & just as well as the place was BUSY! Service was very good, plenty of drinks to choose including a choice of cask beers. For the Sunday roast there were 3 meats plus a veggie option. There were I think 9 veg to choose from, plus Yorkshires, stuffing, sauces, gravy etc. All the food was very good, and plenty of the main protein. Desserts we just about managed, but they were really good too. Highly recommended
yes very good place the food is banging the stay is lush and the staff are so kind with serving the food and drinks everyone should try it
