More of a restaurant than a pub. Didn't have any food but the beer was fine.

Small friendly pub. We have eaten there twice so far,( staying in the village). The food has been amazing, cannot fault the place. Sunday lunch was very reasonably priced and excellent quality. Will be returning for at least another couple or three visits

My wife and came here for a dinner we were staying locally, never been here before. I would recommend you book on a Friday and Saturday night. We did not book. We were shown to our table. We both got The pizza. There were lush and huge and chips were delicious. Great night out thank you.

Lovely Sunday lunch. It was quite busy but they managed to squeeze us in. Staff were very friendly, and welcoming and the food was delicious. The other customers were great too, the place had such a nice atmosphere. Really pleased we discovered this little gem. Will be returning. I had a beef dinner and a sticky toffee pudding. They were delicious, meet was cooked lovely, fantastic selection of veg. Desert was great too, and a fab selection of drinks *****

I read the reviews from other people, and I am not sure if they were fake reviews! The food we had was very little for what we paid. I had a slow cooked lamb shank with vegetables, turns out the lamb shank was tough and the vegetables consisted of 1 potato cut into 3 segments and roasted, with 3 slices of carrot, 1 smal piece of broccoli and 1 slice of courgette which was cut in half. My young daughter enjoyed her a pollo pizza, which was a chicken topped pizza, and my wife had the slow cooked short rib of beef, which was tough as a boot with the same amount of vegetablesas me. Shame really!

Amazing service before we had even booked a table! Although there is no specific vegan option on the menu's I messaged to ask and the chef was willing to make vegan food for each course upon request with a little notice including using vegan alternatives such as vegan cheese. The pizza bases were amazing and you can tell the pasta is homemade. Very reasonably priced, food was excellent and the service was attentive, jokey and friendly in a warm and buzzing atmosphere even on a Thursday night. Will be back very soon😊

Up in the area for the weekend visiting daughter and husband and had an evening meal in this hostelry. Good choice of ales and wines, interesting menu with additional choices of specials. I do recommend their slow cooked beef, it was excellent. Wife had a turkey special which she thoroughly enjoyed. Daughter and hubby went for pizzas with a good choice of toppings and no complaints. Will come again. Suggest booking as seems to be a very busy dining spot. Friendly and attentive staff.
