    Beautiful Pub... Very friendly staff & great service. The food was absolutely sublime! I had the Battered Cod Loin... melt in the mouth. A really lovely experience. Highly Recommend!

    This pub has recently changed management. The food was delicious, so tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. Adhered to COVID regulations. Below is the fish cake, amazing.

    Visited today with my daughter and a friend for afternoon tea. Exceptionally good, beautifully served on pretty crockery with a lovely table display by a friendly helpful waitress. What a treat! Highly recommended.

    Were booked in for a family Sunday lunch and expected your average usual fare. Wow, this was something else. Really delicious food, excellent presentation and attentive service for only £16.95 for two courses, would highly recommend and definitely going back for more.

    Visited this evening for Christmas meal and entertainment. Had a fab night as a group of 8 ladies. Delicious food, great entertainment and The Landlady was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We all agreed it was a brilliant night and will definitely be back 👍

    Excellent Sunday lunch and good value, £12.95 for one course, £16.95 and £20.95 represents excellent value when the food is this good and fresh. Couldn't find room for pudding but everything including the service and drinks which were good value were excellent too. Would have been 5 stars had plates been warmer

    First visit last night, overall a good impression but a few tweeks would give it a 5. Welcomed as we came in and shown to a table, weirdly there was a large tool box and some venitian blinds on the floor next to us. Nice service from the waitresses but we were left a long time after delivering our drinks and i had to call someone over eventually to take our order. I had the chicken kebab with a side of chips, the kebab was really tasty but i don't think the chicken was cooked fresh to order, more heated and added, all the same it was nice. The chips were really good too and nice and hot. The candle on our table was old and used, a new one that could have been lit would have been a nice touch. Restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday but the bar area seemed busy, will definitely return to try something else off the menu.

    Ordered the battered Haddock with mushy peas and chips... The batter was overcooked and burnt in some parts which made it inedible and also the mushy peas were just garden peas which were as hard as nails... I highly recommend going to a different place

    Lovely food and drinks! New owner and rest of the staff were checking in on us diners...lovely touch. The decor has been done tastefully.

    Had a Sunday lunch here. Disappointed as the only roast potatoes they had were cooked in garlic and herbs. I dont like garlic. The veg was very poor just a bowl between 3 of us and not very nice. Expensive for what we had. Wont be going there for Sunday lunch again.

    Can’t fault it! Never been before, visiting family in the area. Decided on dinner on the spur of the moment, called ahead and managed to grab a table, it was a Wednesday night but quite busy as it was Quiz Night!! Ahem, we won!!!! Menu was select with 3 courses. Understand from the Restaurant Manager that it is changed regularly, so shouldn’t get stale. Food was delivered in good time, despite Manager’s related apologies for delays…..!!! I believe the place has had a change of management and focus, from my point of view, it’s all good!! Check it out
