Excellent local pub and restaurant. The in interior layout is great and cosy, there is plenty of room inside and out and they can cater for large groups of people. Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. A pleasant visit and would like to visit again in the summer.

Tried their evening menu recently with friends.
Very pleased to say that it was well worth a visit and will be returning very soon.
Firstly, good decor and very clean and adhering to covid 19 measures. The staff were all friendly and nothing too much trouble.
All of us enjoyed our tasty meals and the waitresses were very attentive, more drinks, desserts etc.
Prices were good and not hyped up.
Definately want to go back and try other dishes on their menu.
Please keep up the high standard, greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ran from this pub with our running group and we were all pleasantly surprised how nice it was as we'd heard some not so nice comments about it. Very friendly staff and owners, extensive food menu (and not just your standard pub grub, the salad combo with halloumi, watermelon and strawberries was delish!) and a lovely outside area, perfect for our big group. And we even spotted a pool table! None of us had been here before but many said they'd want to come back!
