Came for Sunday lunch today and what can I say other than absolutely fantastic. We ordered Sunday lamb dinner, beef dinner, steak and ale pie and burger. The pie was huge and packed full of steak it was well worth the money. The lamb fell apart and was cooked to perfection...the veg tasty and homemade yorkies...burger was homemade and big portions with homemade chips. Very reasonable priced...staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble, this place is a hidden gem for real pub grub homemade you will not be disappointed xx

Amazing food, drink and service it's been turned around to be a proper community and public place to meet friends and have a bite to eat and a lovely pint.

This was always our go-to place, back in the day but unfortunately it's had a rough time over the past 5-6 years. We came with family, hoping for a return to form and we weren't disappointed. There were four of us and we all had meals for the Two for 8 menu, they were delicious and huge (and I like to eat!) Attentive service too, would highly recommend and hope this can be the start of their revival.

Absolutely beautiful, food, staff, atmosphere, experience. We won a steak dinner for the Easter egg hunt and wasn't expecting much but could not fault anything. We will be returning with friends as our new local when ppl visit 5 star …

Great food and bar staff. It was a little quiet but then we were there at 7pm before the kitchen shut at 8.
