We ate Christmas dinner here - so worth every penny! An absolute treat; highly recommended. Great service and fantastic food - over and above average Xmas fare that anyone can do. Varied and interesting menu as well as the classics. Would definitely come again.

This is an awesome country pub. Lovely atmosphere, mouth-watering food, great wine, and brilliant team of staff who go above and beyond to make your visit - long or short - memorable and enjoyable. Best meal out I’ve had for a long time, and has become my ‘go to eat-out place’. Sensitive and appropriate handling of covid regulations. Thank you Cieran and team for all you do.

We came for a meal on Father’s Day and it was fantastic. Excellent service, food was so lovely. I did wonder if the fantastic roast with so many different vegetables was just a special for Father’s Day so, went… back on Friday for another meal and to ask. Our meal yet again was amazing. The service again was 5 Star. I asked the front of house if Sunday’s lunches were always like they were on Father’s Day or was that just because of the day. Great news to find out that they are always that fabulous every Sunday. Thank you so much to you all and we will be back!
