Cowshed Restaurant at the Wheatsheaf Inn in Wirral

We went as a party of 14 to celebrate a couple of birthdays. The restaurant is part of the WHEATSHEAF pub in Raby. A delightful setting in the middle of the Wirral countryside. There’s a very large car park and large courtyard with a covered seating area. The pub is fairly dark as expected but the converted cow shed is a lovely eating area with a high ceiling and some original features. From the start the staff communicated well via email to accommodate us. We had to preorder our food from the menu. The menu had a good variety of dishes and vegans are catered for. We had 2 vegans in our party and they were able to order a main, side dish and dessert without issues. The children’s menu is limited compared to the adult menu but they put on pizza ovens to provide two traditional pizzas as there were two children who didn’t want the ciabatta pizza on the menu. The children had children meals but adult desserts. Great choice of drinks including 6 cask ales of one was a biscotti porter, two local Brimstage ales plus some more well known ales, Timothy Taylor, Wainwright etc. They had local sourced gin from Heswall. A couple of our party were running late but they were willing to put back the kitchen 1/2 hr to accommodate us. The food was delicious and served at a good pace. Everyone in our party commented how good it was and everyone left full. Every plate was empty despite everyone feeling full which is a credit to the chef. The pub is dog friendly but I didn’t check if the restaurant area was. Highly recommend if you like quality food and drink in country pubs.

Together with two friends my hubby and I had a really lovely evening from beginning to end. The staff, setting, ambiance and excellent food made our evening very special on what wasn’t even a special occasion. We had varied starters King Prawns, Soup, Crab Cakes and baked mushrooms all really lovely. The mains of Hake, Salmon en Croute and a special burger all beautifully cooked and delicious. Wine list top notch. It’s been a while since we’ve been and makes me question why we haven’t returned but we will definitely return soon. Thank you for a lovely evening

This was our second visit this year. This is a really nice restaurant. On the phone they are always pleasant, and making a reservation is straight forward. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, The food is excellent and the at just the right pace.

Great spot for excellent food with matching Service. Met friends from out of town after hearing good recommendations from family. Everything was great. We had great appetizers and enjoyed Bangers, Steak and Ale Pie and excellent fish dish. Service was solid as well!!

Fabulous service, by all members of staff but especially Emma. Lovely, warming atmosphere. Varied menu with fantastic food. Excellent value. All requests satisfied with no fuss.

Lovely place but we were so disappointed with the lunch as the chips which are a rare treat for us, were awful. They tasted as though they had been cooked 2 days ago and been reheated several times. A small discount to our bill was given but did little to make up for a very disappointing meal with friends.

What an amazing Sunday lunch. The ambience and setting was fabulous, the greeting was genuine and friendly and the food was incredible. We enjoyed Roast Beef and a Half Roast Chicken between the four of us. Incredible

Superb food as always. The choice on the menu is varied and for all tastes. They cater for vegetarians and gluten free (though you have to give notice for gluten free)

Obvious that Wirralites have known about this marvellous restaurant for years, judging by occupation of tables at lunchtime, Tuesday. I found it while waiting at Clatterbridge, and doing a map search of pubs nearby. Well worth the research. Marvellous. I had game pie, then chocolate cheesecake with blackberries, both great. Lovely friendly staff. A gem, hope you all don't believe me, I really don't want trouble getting a table in future.

Up on the Wirral visiting my Mum and as we always eat out, we were looking to try somewhere we hadn't been in a while. I remembered The Thatch, and so we are there this evening. I booked by sending an email, and this was confirmed within an hour or so. On arrival we were greeted at the bar and taken through to the Cowshed. We were shown to our table and drinks and food ordered. A really interesting menu, not just run of the mill stuff We had starters and mains. Both courses were stunning. Totally restaurant quality and not only that, but superb, non intrusive service. Hats off to all involved, whatever you are doing, it is working well!

Had a midweek lunchtime meal with my elderly parents. Staff were very attentive and provided a level of service that ensured an efficient and pleasant eating experience that still left you time and space to enjoy it. Food was excellent; the game pie especially was just delightful. Just the right sized portions and beautifully cooked. Second visit here, first in the conservatory and now in the cowshed. I think it will become a regular stop every time I come back to Wirral.

Roast potatoes were awful, veg was dry and beef was more fat than meat. Gravy was spot on and the Yorkshire pudding wasn't bad but left still feeling hungry. Staff were great and service was good, all other meals besides the roast were fine. Hope it improves!

We visited today for a special celebration. The restaurant was warm and cosy and the fire added to the lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent as were the drinks. What makes this place really special is the amazing customer service. We were treated like old friends and nothing was too much trouble. In our opinion this is the best restaurant on the Wirral. Thank you to all the staff for making our evening special.

Pleasant room, friendly attentive staff and excellent local beer - Trappers Hat from Brimstage Microbrewery. However two stars docked for v substandard fish and chips. Portion was v small and fish (haddock) grossly overcooked. Someone in the kitchen wasn't paying attention. Staff apologised but didn't actually DO anything to resolve the matter. Much better food to be had just a couple of miles away in the Fox & Hounds, Barnston. So that's where I'm going next time.

Did not produce what was on the menu it says chutney with pate but none arrived or did it with the ext table felt like the more people that were booked on the table got better service then 2 people

Might have been an off day, but we brought friends here from out of the area for lunch and we left feeling disappointed. We had been here as a couple for dinner a few years back and we had a great experience, but sadly not so much on this occasion. The staff were very young and although they were pleasant, we were left waiting for our mains for quite a long time. I'm not sure whether that was a kitchen or a front of house issue, but it was a little frustrating. When the food arrived, it was just OK. I had a club sandwich but probably could have done better myself (and I am no chef). Also, when walking through the main pub, there was a smell of urine which wasn't pleasant, and all of the venue was quite cold. 2 stars because the staff were friendly and the food was edible.

We booked a table last night for 8 plus a baby at 5.30, service was excellent, it was very busy but food was served in good time, I had chicken supreme which came with one fondant potato a small amount of sauce but no veg which I found disappointing. There was no sticky toffee but brownie instead which was delicious, we all had a

Another great experience in the cowshed. lovely food and wine and attentive staff. canot wait to return.

Our large group from Frodsham U3A arrived at the Wheatsheaf Inn & were shown in to the beautifully renovated & comfortable cow shed. The staff took all our food & drink orders swiftly & we were very impressed by the speed, quality & presentation of the fresh hot food. Superb service & easy to pay our individual bills at the end. Exceptionally high quality food & service. Well done to all the team.

Lovely food, excellent setting and lovely staff. Would definitely recommend. We have holiday accommodation which we let and this establishment is one of the local places that we recommend to guests in our welcome packs

Visited for a Sunday beer I found the necessary booking in process friendly an efficient. Drinks are ordered from outside try service by friendly efficient staff. If you require a table inside you can book ahead even if you are just going for a drink....

Great meal and superb pint at The Wheatsheaf / Cowshed. Lovely to be back after more than 30-years. Used to visit a lot when living in the area. Had a meal in the garden. Good social-distancing arrangements. Made us feel safe and comfortable.

It’s really nice surroundings and has been closed for 3 months due to Clovis so iam thankful to get in there Everything was great especially the desert except one thing , burnt garlic , I had the chicken supreme and it tasted of acrid burnt...

On these sad times I would recommend a visit to the Thatch when it reopens . A truly traditional country pub,you only realise how good it is when you cannot visit

We recently enjoyed a birthday celebration at the Cowshed restaurant. The whole occasion was excellent - the venue, service and food.

Wide range of toasties. My ham, cheese and mushroom was delicious. Chips also very tasty indeed. Would recommend.

This place was recommended to us by locals staying at Merebrook House and we could not fault it. The food was fantastic, the drinks were cheap and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. It was a perfect evening and we could not fault a...

The restaurant is attached to a thatched roof country pub that is very charming. The food is good as is the service. The menu is nice with lots of choice, well worth a visit. There is a large car park for those driving. Its worth...

We thought the Cowshed to be a lovely venue, the atmosphere was great especially with the Christmas decs up. It wasn't too noisy either. Our food was served very promptly, almost too promptly, leading me to think they already have it plated up ready. Drinks...

Friendly attentive service compliments well prepared food. Not the cheapest but keep going back so not too expensive either. The bar can get a bit noisy but in the Cowshed or the Conservatory it is fine. Good selection of food from Steaks to toasties to serve all pallets.

We have eaten here before and this time we were as pleased as last time. It was only a quick bite for lunch this time but great food, value and service. They have daily specials for lunch or a vast choice of sandwiches and toasties

Visited here with my family nice relaxed atmosphere they have ok to good food,staff were helpful and seemed happy,they have areas outside you can sit with your family with drinks unsure if you can order food outside though,dog friendly outside unsure about inside would recommend to anyone who likes to have a chilled out meal and drinks with the family or friends

This pub, restaurant is easily the best I’ve had the good fortune to visit around the country and I visit a lot, as I’m extremely fussy I very rarely set foot in an average pub but if I’m in Cheshire I will visit this establishment as often as I can. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the food is well fantastic is an understatement the main meals are always great but I have to admit that the sandwiches are Devine then you get to the toasted sandwiches well what can I say died and gone to heaven I think if I drive over the border my brain and stomach gangs up on me and scream toasty . The only way to improve the pub is put it on the back of some low loaders and drive it down to Essex then trip advisor will have to give us the chance to score more than five star.

The food here was fantastic, I would say over priced but it was yum! The only problem we had was the service was very slow, it was a half full lunch time, but we waited 50 mins between starter and main. We would return

I phoned in advance to book for two vegans and one vegetarian. When we sat down we were given separate menus, one vegan, one vegetarian and one standard. What a choice, The food was very good and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant. Well done Cowshed!

Perhaps we are easily confused or a bit obtuse but for clarity The Cowshed Restaurant forms an integral part of The Wheatsheaf Pub – you walk through the pub itself, its conservatory and into the Cowshed. There are reviews for both on Tripadvisor but what I say here applies equally to the Wheatsheaf – because it’s the same place.

Visited for a Sunday lunch with family.

The first meal my husband and I had in England last week was lunch at the

This pub/restaurant was established in 1641. The entrance opens to a low ceiling dim room where the pub is located. There is a conversation table where you can meet friendly people sharing a drink. I talked with Unilever employees getting off work. From there, I went into the more modern restaurant enjoying a superb lamb dish, very good service and quiet atmosphere. I had a table looking out to a garden. I recommend for the sheer enjoyment of a 1641 pub, good food and service in a quiet environment.

We actually ate in the conservatory overlooking a pretty garden. Cowshed restaurant looked nice.Reasonably busy for a midweek evening. My plaice gougons were lovely and burger moist and delicious. Good choice on menu. Lots of drinkers outside, I imagine it gets very busy in the summer.

I had a lovely early dinner with my husband and baby daughter recently as a surprise for my birthday.

Absolutely superb food.. Great selection of drinks. Will definitely be back! Steve & Mike are brilliant, very helpful. Great service, great food.

Check your change if drinking in the bar, 3 times it was wrong. The last time we mentioned it to the manager, whose attitude was appalling. We had spent a lot of money over the evening and in fact over the years, but will not be going back until there is a change in management.

Three eating areas and all very user friendly. A cosy bar; a great Conservatory; and an atmospheric restaurant.

I re-connected with this ‘eclectic gem’ two weeks ago after many years away. Forty years ago it was just the pub fondly known as The Thatch. I say ‘eclectic’ because there’s the original rustic stone floor pub where you can take your dog, this meanders into another carpeted casual room, then again into a bright conservatory style room & then you have the beautiful Cow Shed, oak beamed, bare brick walls, ambient lighting, the wood burner and THE FOOD! I popped in two weeks ago with mum and had by chance a table in the Cow Shed area. We chose from the ‘specials’ & had Sea Bass over smoked haddock kedgeree. I was blown away by the standard of food and service. It was sublime. The portions are huge. Two good size; perfectly cooked Sea Bass fillets over kedgeree, full of fish & egg, perfect consistency & balance of spice. The food is piping hot. The staff are very welcoming, friendly & efficient. It’s a beautiful setting for a cosy or romantic evening meal too. I was so impressed I booked a table by the wood burner for the following week and went last Wednesday. Again choosing from the specials. This time I had cod on garlic mash with samphire and confit shallots ... very decadent. I have to say the presentation each time was excellent & again generous portions. I had this with buttered greens. The main menu offers something for everyone including an excellent range of sharing platters such as ploughmans, garden, meat, fish. Great range of steaks, burgers, toasties, sandwiches & so on. Also there’s plenty of parking which is a bonus. I really can’t recommend this place enough it’s so quaint. Needless to say I will be going back regularly.

It's many years since we have eaten in the Cow Shed restaurant of the WheatChef Pub. Why have we left it so long? All I can say is that we will be going back soon.

We called in partway through our walk and although we hit a busy time we were greatly satisfied with the experience. We were warmly welcomed, escorted to our table and given my need for Gluten free options delighted to be given a separate menu with a wide range of choices. The staff continued the warm welcome, were very attentive and good humoured. The food when it arrived was well presented, of high quality and good value. Having found a safe place to eat with good allergen awareness, strongly recommended and we will be returning.

We had a lovely meal following our walk on the Wirral way. Excellent food and friendly and helpful staff thank you. We will definitely come back and recommend to friends.

Had a meal here for my birthday, the atmosphere, service and the food were all of a very high standard. They were very much value for money. the overall rating of 5 does not do them justice. We will be back. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Decided to have a spot of lunch on New Year’s Day as feeling to lazy to cook!! As always friendly staff and food even better. Don’t think we have ever had a bad meal here. This pub is simply amazing so why go elsewhere!!

Absolutely love this place. The converted barn is stunning and beautifully decorated for Christmas! We were originally sat in the conservatory and were quite cold but the manager realised before we had even ordered drinks and moved us. Amazing customer service. Food was incredible, worth the price. The mulled wine and IPA was also amazing. Will definitely be going back

Have just had a meal at the Wheatchief for our wedding anniversary.My wife ordered the steak and ihad the lamb.The steak was tough and generally not nice and the lamb was very fatty and had not been cooked long enough.We complained and we were not charged for the steak.Fair enough but our night was ruined.Would not return.

Had 60th birthday meal for 11 adults and 1 child. Our table was in the beautiful Cowshed restaurant with a log burner just perfect. The food, the service and the ambience fantastic. We had 4 different platters of sharing food to start, excellent. We all had different main courses and everyone enjoyed their meal, all clean plates, the puddings were to die for, delicious. All the staff were brilliant. We had a lovely time and will return and would recommend.

Been to this pub on a number of occasions - NEVER disappointed with the food and the service. The steak is out of this world !

Popped in the Wheatsheaf Inn with the intention of having a spot of lunch in the Cowshed Restaurant as we were in the area.

Called in for lunchtime meal. After getting our drinks we sat in the snug. There was someone eating what looked like a lovely Ploughman’s lunch. So we ordered a sharing platter. It arrived with 2 small side plates to eat off. One was actually a saucer. Even after commenting to the waiter that ‘where they short of plates’ we didn’t get normal plates.

Went to the pub, stayed for dinner - no problem squeezing us in at no notice on a Saturday night.

Just had a lovely dinner- a lamb steak was cooked really perfectly and my parents had a steamed lemon sole that looked great- thumbs up all round (they are fussy about seafood!) service was great- just one note the map on trip advisor is more accurate than following the google maps directions if your not familiar with the area, we landed in their neighbours driveway following google maps. Great value for money for the quality of food in a beautiful building. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Went here today for catch up with old friends and Sunday lunch. Choice of starters didn’t appeal (I am an ex chef so can be bit picky) two of us chose roast turkey and two the fish it was nice although not hot & not cooked enough. Deserts were delicious. I feel it’s a little overpriced for what you get but service was good & setting is lovely. Drinks are ridiculously overpriced £5.80 for double vodka & then £1.90 for lemonade, house wine £20.50! The meals looked nice going out to other people.

Have promised I would visit the Cowshed for a long time. The opportunity arose to dine there with five friends. We just had a main course. The other five guests cleared their plates. I (along with three others) had the fish and chips. It was about £2 dearer than similar establishments. Having started mine I looked at the meals of the others having the same and they looked reasonably good. The fish in my over-cooked batter was almost non-existent. I tried scraping fragments that were stuck to the batter and salvaged about a mouthful. The chips and peas were only OK. I ate them but left the batter. Had we been there as a couple I would have brought it to the attention of the staff but being in a group and having waited almost an hour to be served (we had booked) I was loathe to say anything. Had it been replaced I would have been eating after everyone else and delayed our departure. I accept when starters are not ordered there can be a delay serving just a main course.

The Wheatsheaf Inn and Cowshead restaurant in Raby was a delightful experience. An oldie worldie pub with great character has a fantastic restaurant serving really nice food by helpful pleasant staff. We called for a quick lunch on a Saturday on the way back from shopping and were so impressed we booked again for a Sunday lunch and took our family and grandkids. All the food was freshly prepared and very tasty. We all thought the experience was excellent and we will be back for more.

ate here, the wheat sheaf , raby , with five others this week..menu was varied and offered different sizes of meals, with an amazing number of flavours, tastes. Service was unobtrusive and efficient and the food tasted great.

Visited with a group of friends. Meals were good if a little overpriced. However service was poor. The very pleasant waitress did not seem to know which meals she was serving and as a result the meals were mixed up and the mistake not realised until after we had commenced eating. They did offer to recook the meals but that meant people would eating at different times. Free coffee was also offered at the end of the meal but as no one in the group was having coffee we did not take up the offer.

A lovely old building in a lovely quite village. I have taken Guests from China and Korea to this Restaurant and pub. They are always amazed. The beer selection is large and tasty. The food is also superb. A greatone for the British summer to have a pint outside or to sit near the fire in Winter

Great character premises, and wonderfully cooked steak! Beautifully rural setting - we keep returning.

Visited here as a surprise for my birthday, didn't know this place existed.

Was looking for somewhere nearby to where we had been visiting so after consulting Trip Advisor decided on the Cowshed and so glad we did. Staff were very friendly and efficient and the meals we had were fabulous. I had the hake whilst my other half had a burger and both thoroughly enjoyed it so much we couldn’t wait to visit again. Which we did Saturday lunchtime and again totally faultless, would definitely recommend

Went for lunch and ate in the cowshed restaurant. Had a lovely lunch with food excellent in pleasant surroundings and served by polite and attentive staff. Visited here a number of times and never had a bad meal long may it continue.

We got a lovely friendly welcome and the serving team (apart from the unsmiling bearded manager) were very pleasant. Most of the food was poor - horribly tough lamb rump, tasteless chips, grubby looking mixed vegetables and measly portions of chilli prawns with stringy greens. The seats are too low so we needed cushions to comfortably reach the table. The restaurant was half empty which speaks for itself really. This was our second visit. Last time about 10 months ago was pretty good. This time was pretty bad. There won't be a third time unless things change.

My first impression was walking in door from car park through a narrow passageway past the the toilets. Inside was busy but found our own table for 2. Just one menu on table, this appears to be standard as a table for 6 had one menu too. Food and drink ordered at bar. I believe toasties are a speciality so I opted for one. The food received was not what I would consider a toastie. It was 2 pieces of toast with a filling added, not toasted with bread. It was ok. No body came to check if food was ok and nobody cleared away our plates before we left.

Eight times previously visited and food great. This time not good. Food bland tasteless lamb shank not cooked long enough. Chips used to be great and served in a small tin bucket ( presentation ) now they are seved on a serviet in a dish !!...like going back to 1970. Sticking to the Red Fox or Sheldrakes.

Went for Valentine's day, it was very busy but as always the service and food was excellent. Special occasion means fillet steaks and they never disappoint. one thing though, I am a grown up I don't need a straw ( especially a BLACK one) in my gin 'n tonic.

Stopped in for a drink in this fine drinking establishment. The service was great - really friendly and a very kind gentleman spotted our dad was quite elderly so offered to bring our drinks over to the table. The menu looked excellent - we’d certainly consider eating here on the future.

My partner and I went for an anniversary supper on a very busy Saturday night. The staff were working at top speed but service was great, friendly, timely and with a smile. The Cowshed is in a nice location, has a pleasant dining area and serves a variety of beers and wines at reasonable prices. Sadly the food didn't do the place justice. My starter of beetroot mousse with stilton cheese was a tasteless pink blancmange with a small slab of stilton. really not nice. Maybe crusty bread would have made it more palatable, but slices off a fairly unimaginative loaf brought nothing to the party. My partners crab was, he said, tasteless too. Both of us plumped for venison burgers and chips. the burger was dense and moderately taste but the 'onion marmalade' was a disappointment. I suspect that the chips were oven chips. More in hope than expectation, I ordered dessert. The brownie was passable but dried, from reheating, on the edge.

Great night, great service and staff gave some of our lot a lift back to the hotel in Thornton Hough.

Roaring fires, stone floor , beach seating, great beers and a good local pub, convivial place to drink.

It has been quite a while since we have been here due to several meal mix ups in the past....

On route home from a few days in North Wales this was an ideal establishment for lunch. Well kept beers...

Went for dinner to celebrate a family occasion. Service and ambience were second to none. Menu choice was extensive and...

Excellent. Very good indeed. Great food, Helpful staff, flexible and patient. Lovely place indeed. Well done to all. We will...

Had Saturday lunch here with my in- laws. A beautiful old building with lots of rooms and at least 3...

Visited this lovely old restaurant/pub mid week and had an excellent meal. We chose to eat a light lunch and, amoung other things, there was a good selection of generously filled sandwiches and warm meat filled batches to choose from. We also shared a portion of chips which we all agreed, were cooked to perfection. It was a very enjoyable lunch, the staff were excellent, friendly and cheerful and the place was busy, making for a good atmosphere. Definitely will be eating there again.

We had booked a table in advance and were shown to our table when we arrived. The menu choice was good, especially the gluten free options. The quality of food was excellent. The service was just right and we weren't rushed.

Went for Sunday lunch as a party of nine including two children and had a lovely meal. Service very good and although other parts of the pub and restaurant were very busy we were located in the cowshed restaurant which seemed much more relaxed. Good choice of starters, Sunday roasts and puddings, including some nice specials. Food was very nice and will definitely return!

Red currant reduction on the beef medallion was too strong but the rest of the meal, chicken liver pate and devilled kidney starters and venison main were all tremendous. Lovely atmosphere in the cowshed and good service.

Booked for a group of 7 and arrived at 12.30. Orders were taken at at 1.0 pm, we were the second group of people to arrive and the restaurant was slowly filling up, We then waited and waited and waited.

Having dinner here previously, we booked a table for seven for lunch on Monday. We arrived in drive and drabs from 12.30 with all arriving by 12.40 while waiting at our booked table we enjoyed a pint of their excellent range of beers. Our order was taken at 1.00. By 1.40 we were still waiting. We notice a couple at another table who arrived and ordered after us were halfway through their meal. When this was brought to the staffs attention suddenly our meals began to arrive at 1.50. I was served at 2.00pm. my meal was the pie of the week served with chips and peas. It was barely cooked pale chips and no browning on the pastry. At least we did get an apology and a discount off the price, but to receive my undercooked lunch at 2.00pm. for a 12.30 booking is not acceptable.

Had the prawn sandwich and hubby had the steak, caramelised onion and blue cheese fal, both were very tasty. Cold drinks in the beer garden made it just perfect and the Titanic Plum Porter just can't be beat.

Last minute lunch to take advantage of the sunny weather - beach seating outside and it was glorious.Had the seafood platter which was simply lovely, others had the black pudding with cheese & bacon toastie which apparently was epic and as were the warm rare breed sausage barms.No complaints from any of us. Too full for dessert, this time. The beers are also good here, apparently.Lovely afternoon experienced here, and would definitely recommend and return.

Visited for the first time for lunch with friends. The location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. The pub looks lovely with lots of hanging baskets and thatched roof. Inside there are different areas including a very old part of the pub. The conservatory and cowshed eating area are clean and comfortable. Some of the chairs are quite low but there are cushions available! There are also lots of outside tables in sheltered, attractive surroundings. Service was efficient, friendly and helpful, without feeling rushed. The lunchtime menu had lots of interesting choices with locally sourced ingredients. The portions were sensibly sized and tasted delicious. Wine choices good and reasonably priced. We had an excellent lunch and would definitely recommend.

We visited the pub not the restaurant. Popped in after a walk with the dog. Needless to say it's dog friendly, with dogs being allowed on all hard floor areas. It's a beautiful little proper country pub. Rustic but clean and comfy. Nice big car park to the side. It was a lovely sunny day when we went and we wished we had sat outside a little. I can imagine with the fires lit in winter it would be very snug and cosy. We ordered a veggie plater and fish plater (pictured) with extra chips and a couple of pints of Guinness. The menu stated platters were for either one as a main or to share. We were certainly very full after! From memory veggie platter included - veggie sausage, cheese melts, beetroot, mushroom with crumb, 2 slices garlic bread, a shot glass of soup, salad with tomatoes in the vine, onion chutney, piccalilli and little gherkins. At approx £11. The husband had the fish platter and was equally laden with tasty nibbles as pictured for roughly the same £11. So both, chips and 2 pints £34. It was tasty and we were full up so reckon it was priced about right. The toasted sandwiches on the menu also looked good. A mention also goes out to the toilets that were surprisingly modern. Not like the usual spider infest stable loos of some country pubs. The staff were friendly. Good vibes. We were very impressed and will be definitely going back.

Lovely atmosphere. Four of us had four different starters, mains and desserts; all were very happy with our choices. Great to see locally sourced ingredients on the menu. Good choice of wine at reasonable prices. Will return soon.

Lovely historical pub. Great customers, wait staff, extensive menu and good beer. Not too expensive and good portions.

Went here on Sunday with friends from out of town. Wanted somewhere different but not too expensive but that had quality food and a place with character. Not only was I pleased but our friends were so so delighted. They loved everything about it from its beautiful character to it wonderful food, (glut free as well), not to forget it s great choice of wine and Champagne. Staff polite and courteous, made us feel welcome. Thank you
