Table booked for early dinner pre theatre (5.15) Saturday night. Lovely pub but just didnt deliver…read more There were veey few diners at that time as you would expect but waited 10 minutes for drinks to arrive and was almost 6pm when first course arrived. I had pork which was lovely but the dauphonoise potato and 2 springs of charred but raw brocolli were just not enough. Were then informed no fruit crumble and when asked to change custard for cream said had a problem with whipped cream but may have some pouring cream. Was very busy when we left but was not impressed as not cheap. Very disappointing meal.

Called to book a table and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Arrived way too early with some time to kill but not a problem for the bar man who was keen to ensure that the glass of red house we ordered was what we wanted. The bar area had a very nice ambiance with some really comfy chairs that allowed us to while away our early arrival. With the wine going down nicely we ordered the Mediterranean bread to nibble on and it was delicious. Things were looking up for our first visit to this hostilely. Table for 4 was very pleasant and despite the large group with children nearby we were certainly not disturbed. Orders taken by the very jovial and helpful bar manager who interacted with the party with good humor and promptness. Then .... The beer breaded mushrooms were satisfactory and the garlic OK. It will be fine .... The main course arrived just before it got a bit silly and were all a little lackluster to be perfectly honest. Meals were just warm enough to ensure that nothing was said. Whilst the meals were presented well the taste just about lived up to expectations of the diners. Dessert, not this time thank you and after paying the bill little more than a side ways glance of a good bye. You know when you get that deflated moment when something does not quite live up to your expectations. We all felt it. I will visit again just in case this was a blimp in what was clearly a busy day for the staff but as a customer that was really not my problem. On leaving we did spot the giant chocolate eclair ......

The food is all prepped and cooked in house using locally sourced produce and really is worth stopping in for a lunchtime meal. Inside is small and intimate, but this just adds to the charictor. The drinks and food are reasonably priced for the area, and although this is not the cheapest of places to have lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed with their quality. Friendly staff and good service. Defo one I would recommend

They cater for large groups and also offer mini tours of the brewery which is always fun and getting to sample their hard work once the tour is over. It has a more than ample outdoor seating area at the front which is great, and even though this is a small little gaff, I have never waited long to be served, even when a mass crowd of bikers turn up on mass to enjoy this little local gem.
