Absolutely beautiful food! Hot and exactly how we asked for it! I had the lamb rump and my partner had the mac and cheese and homemade garlic bread. It was delicious! Isabel was lovely and very attentive! There was a lovely man also asking if we needed anything but didn’t catch his name. The lovely lady behind the bar who we first spoke to had such a bubbly, welcoming presence and made us feel like we were as welcome as the regulars! Will definitely be back to win Joker Poker! 🎉

A fabulous pub with an amazing atmosphere, a real clean and tidy country pub. With warm friendly staff, always had time to chat with you. Even though we didn’t go in the garden, it looks massive with plenty of space for all. Now the food. It was outstanding, freshly cooked and no waiting ages to be fed. Tasty, enjoyable and most importantly served piping hot on the plate. Looking forward to returning in the colder months to sit by the log fire and warm the old bones. Thanks Jason and Tiffany for doing what you do, and making sure these places are not forgotten.

Myself and my family visited today with our 2 Guide Dogs. The staff here were so lovely and extremely helpful. I am Gluten and Dairy Free and the lady went and found what was available to me twice. It was greatly appreciated.
The food was delicious and enjoyed by us all. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this to others.
