Took my friend for lunch on Wednesday and it was amazing. The food is fantastic so I treated the hubby to it today, and it didn’t disappoint. Been 3 times in the last fortnight. I ve had the braised steak, the scampi and today I had chicken curry. Followed by sticky toffee pudding which was amazing. The staff are lovely too and special mention to gemma you are great at your job. See y all soon

First visit for lunch. The restaurant is a bit dark and dated but spotlessly clean. I think the lack of natural light added to this feel. The menu was fantastic and the waitress very welcoming and professional. Our lunch arrived piping hot and it was very good ‘pub food’ No room for dessert as the portion was huge! Great value and although outside looks a bit bleak don’t let that stop you parking up and grabbing lunch!

Have been here twice in recent times and the food was great on both occasions. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lunch times can be extremely busy so be prepared for a long wait, once you've placed your order. You can't book in advance but there are lots of tables so getting seated shouldn't be a problem.

I called at the shop today and purchased some biltong. The location is lovely, the product is decent but the 2 female staff members made me feel as welcome as gonorrhea. I was the only one in the shop but not even a ‘hello’ or a ‘can a help you”….just the price mumbled and a curt goodbye. Maybe my expectations of a rustic farm shop were just too high?
