They have a full menu of delicious meals and a bunch of specials depending on what they felt like making. I've had the "Mixed Grill" twice now - a £14.95 feast with all the major farmyard animals represented at least once. Ham steak, two sausages (I think one was beef) a 6 ounce steak, a lamb chop and a chicken breast. Add a pile of onion rings and some veggies and you have a massive meal that's perfect for the low-carb eaters among us. Lots of seating areas. Some more open and some a bit more discreet. Great pub, will absolutely return!

Have been here a number of times with family for lunch, the most recent being last Saturday. Wife ,…read moreelderly mother in law, and brother in law. Moderately busy at 1pm, but service quite acceptable. Standard bar menu with good choice of hot dishes, and special of the day on boards. I am a sucker for a good lamb shank. The others had Enchiladas, Steak and Kidney Pudding, and a chicken dish. Very good food, my main complaint was theat really there was far too much of it. Yes, this really was over the top. I managed my plateful but my family and I suspect many other people would leave quite a bit. Seems wasteful to serve such large amounts. It is counter productive as it does not encourage you to order a dessert ! Anyway we did, as mother in law is very fond of her desserts ! I said she didnt deserve one as she left much of her main course ! But she wasnt to be deterred. Again we all had different, and again the quantities were huge ! Waffles with lots of ice cream and cream, and a 'fruits of the forest sauce' I just got the feeling that at busy times service may be rather slow, and I seem to recall on a previous occasion (Sunday lunch) this happened. They are always full on Sunday, so booking is necessary. Not worth 5 starts because of the waste (does anyone actually have 3 courses here?), but 4 stars well deserved.

Not the widest menu, they have a few appetizers and the usual nibbles. Salads, grill items and pizza (with your choice of up to four, count 'em four, toppings). I had the cottage pie with a side of carrots and parsnips, which was good and clearly is cooked to order because it took a good while. I thought I had ordered the chips as a starter, but they arrived with the main. My tablemates had the lamb shank and the pan fried chicken breast and both said they were good. A few beers on tap as well as the usual assortment of bar juices and bottled bars, plus wines and spirits.

We had a Sunday Roast here costing £8.99 each for 3 courses. Unfortunately the food was of poor quality and tasted pre-cooked and dry, with not much flavour. It was a shame as the pub had a great atmosphere and the range of drinks available was good. Good Pub, shame about the food.
