Beautiful decor and facade, it fits the bill for what an old English pub used to be. A wide variety of beers, liquor and food - I love visiting every time I get the chance to. Once called The Railway, over the years it has added more space, outdoor seating and, depending on the day and season, live music. It has a fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and chatty locals. Again, a lovely little pub.

Fantastic. We were also staying the night in one of their comfy rooms upstairs which was very convenient. We informed the owner we had an early start in the morning and she not only allowed up to settle our check the night before but she also offered to come in early to leave us breakfast outside of serving hours. (Amazing) We'll definitely stay here the next time we need a place I'llin the area.

We both had the hot beef sarnie with homemade chips and the side - both served with an extra jug of gravy for chip dipping ! The lunch was very good and great value at about a tenner, beer choice was fine with a couple of real ales and the usual lager suspects. It a typical family run style of pub - Dad and daughter were behind the bar the day we visited , both very nice and happy to advise on the local area. Car parking is close but is over the road from the pub. I liked it and will be going back soon.

The exterior and interior of this pub is very pleasant but that's about the only positive thing I…read morecan say about it which is a shame. The food, although they do make the soup themselves, appears to all be microwaved or very low quality.

TL;DR - Great Mediterranean restaurant, with plenty of pasta and pizza dishes to keep everyone…read morehappy. Came here for lunch with my parents. Apparently many years ago this was an Italian restaurant, and has then changed hands several times since. It's now under new ownership and is technically a "Mediterranean" restaurant, but the menu leans very heavily towards Italian with lots of pizza and pasta options. The lunch menu is basically the same as the evening menu, but with reduced prices for the pizza and pasta dishes. I went for the "Red Cat pizza" - chicken, pesto and mushrooms. Very nice, but the base was a bit tough for my liking (although I may have been spoilt by a recent trip to Naples!). My mum had the linguine bolognese which she absolutely loved, and my dad had chicken and mushroom pasta. My dad isn't normally a fan of foreign cuisine, but he absolutely loved this and raved about how good it was. We also shared a bottle of wine which was very nice indeed. Staff were very friendly and attentive, prices were very reasonable (3 main courses, plus garlic bread, a bottle wine and three coffees for under £50) and the food was very good.
