The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

The Queen visited in May of this year. The meats served here are all locally sourced, raised, killed, smoked, cooked etc. The back bacon is unbelievably good. Some good deals with the pie of the day - usually game or steak - and other tasty morsels such as pates, sandwiches etc. Very pleasant surrounds, staff and reasonable prices. Recommended eating and shopping. They now do a Sunday Roast with choice of Lamb,Beef or pork. All very tasty and good value. A limited Evening menu has also now appeared. I cannot recommend this place highly enough

We'd booked our table, just in case and were seated on the balcony, which was lovely. Three of our party ordered the braised steak and oxtail pie, we can't recommend it enough, it was utterly delicious!!! My son's girlfriend had the lamb dish from the specials list, she said it was gorgeous!!! The vegetables were perfect, wonderful chips (a previous reviewer thinks they use frozen chips, I don't know where that idea came from, the chips we had were most definitely made from scratch), mashed potatoes and celeriac, perfectly cooked carrots and the best braised red cabbage I've ever tasted (I'm a big red cabbage fan so believe me, this is praise indeed). We managed to fit dessert in, we were all too full for big desserts, so had cake, husband and son had triple espresso and walnut, son's girlfriend went for chocolate while I chose Tunisian orange. We all thought our cakes were wonderful but I'm sure I 'won' because the orange cake was surely unbeatable, it was really, really delicious!!! The prices are very reasonable too, four meals, four portions of cake and a bottle of Prosecco came in at less than £80-00!!! The staff were attentive, but not too much so, the atmosphere was great, in fact everything was just perfect. If you're in the area, treat yourself, I promise, you won't be disappointed!
