The food was delicious. The price was good. Most of all the staff are friendly and obliging. We have visited there twice. We will be going back.
We have passed by for the past 14 years but finally ventured in and found what we have been missing! Very friendly, excellent food and great prices. I had a steak pie which is easily the best pie I have ever had!
We had the absolute pleasure of staying in the van-parking site around the back. A very well maintained, level and quiet space. All was easily accessible, very reasonably priced, and the hosts were charming and friendly. The food is magnificent, and the interior of the pub/restaurant delightful. Kerry and Jacqui should be rightly proud of themselves. Will definitely return!
An amazing find, great ambiance and delicious food. Exceptional Sunday lunch and the cheesecakes were amazing!!
So tasty the best fish and chips.. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The batter was so crispy, and the fish was fresh and moist! A big portion of homemade handcut chip's.. My partner had the beef and ale pie, which was so full of meat and juicy that it didn't need the gravy! But the gravy was perfect, thick, and full of flavour! The brownie and cheesecake desserts finished off the meals nicely, they were really big portions with tasty ice cream! The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was a friendly, cosy, comfy, and a quiet pub in a lovely remote country location! A great find!
