👍👍 Stopped in the middle of a 30 Sunday walk in May on a sunny day without booking. 100+ covers. They just about squeezed me in, and that sausage roll was badly undersold on the menu. It’s f++++++ amazing. Seriously good food. Beer on top form. Cricket outside. What’s not to like?
Thanks to the staff,...
