A
gastro-pub
that
relies
on
the
neighbours
(both
in
the
surrounding
area
and
the
hotel
next-door,
which
it
is
unconnected
to)
for
most
of
its
trade.
It's
a
beautiful
old
building
with
a
massive
beer-garden
and
plenty
of
space
inside,
too
(but
it
is
advisable
to
book
a
table
for
food).
The
food
is
divine,
and
come
in
at
just
under
£10
for
the
starters
and
often
just
under
£20
for
the
mains.
While
some
staples
remain,
the
menu
is
revised
daily.
I've
pretty
much
eaten
my
way
through
the
menu,
and
there
was
nothing
that
was
below
par.
There's
a
good
selection
of
drinks
(including
non-
alcoholic
options,
which
is
gadget
as
there
is
a
large
car
park)
Front
of
house
staff
are
attentive
and
polite,
although
you
get
the
impression
that
for
some
it
is
a
stop-gap
whilst
waiting
for
sobering
better
to
come
up.
Some
are
friendly
and
chatty,
but
should
perhaps
take
more
care
about
what
they
say
(regaling
patrons
about
how
hungover
they
are
following
the
night
before
is
not
to
everyone's
liking!).
Seasonal
specials
(pigs
in
blankets,
mulled
wine,
and
-yes-
Christmas
trees)
are
available,
too,
at
this
time
of
year..
