Red Lion in The Vale of Glamorgan

We booked the Red lion as we like to try restaurants that advertise being dog friendly, not just for ourselves but also business associates, on booking the manager assured us that they love dogs, really ? We travel all over the country with our dogs and have had amazing food in hotels, restaurants, with fabulous managers and staff, whether this was just an off day, but we were made to feel we were an inconvenience by the manager, the food was mediocre, quite cold the cauliflower cheese was hot on top and cold and hard underneath, but mostly we just felt that having the dogs with us was a real inconvenience. Sorry but not a place I would want to go back to.

We came across this place by luck as we were looking for a bite to eat for lunch. What a result! A proper traditional pub with the warmest of welcomes from Michelle, comfortable surroundings, good varied menu, and the food itself was delicious! Great value, lovely flavour, proper home cooked fare, huge portions (couldn't finish sorry!)n couldn't fault it. The people of Bonvilston are so lucky to have this gem on their doorstep. We'll be back!

My daughter and I came for dinner as we’d heard some good reports. Friday night the pub was really busy but staff so attentive. We had a starter of bruschetta and baked Brie . Shared a main of Greek meze. Food was amazing . Atmosphere lovely. Our server was so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back

Had a lovely meal at the Red Lion. It was busy but the staff were really attentive & very welcoming. Definitely recommend it.

We visited the Red Lion today for lunch. We have recently moved to the area so it was our first time visiting and it didn’t disappoint! We sat in the garden with our dog and were served one of the best lunches we’ve had in a long time! The garden menu was fab. Will be back again soon! Looking out for some live music nights :)

There were 12 of us celebrating a birthday. The host Michelle was attentive and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was first class. Would highly recommend The Red Lion. Definitely will be returning.

Red lion was a warm and cozy Saturday night experience. Lovely food, well priced and staff were amazing. Thank you for having us on what was a very relaxing evening with drinks and steak! Can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommend for all the family and dog friendly as well x

Came back for the steak night was not disappointed up there with the best of the steak restaurants that night can’t wait till the next 1 see you all again soon keep up the great work

Excelent service, diversified food , high quality. Cosy place with very friendly people. Nice beergarden for sunny days. You ll need to try.

Michelle and her fantastic team were just the perfect hosts, there was nothing that was too much trouble, very welcoming, a warm and very friendly atmosphere, the food and service is exceptional, highly recommended. Thank you

Amazing food and service, Michelle and her team are so welcoming and friendly. Lovely venue too! Would highly recommend.

Fab drink at the Red on Monday bank hol. Friendly bar staff and quick service! Food smells amazing, will definitely visit again for a meal.

Came for Easter lunch , Amazing service, incredible food , really good for people that might have gluten allergies like I do

What a lovely time we had. A warm welcome from all staff who couldn't do enough for us. food, drinks and staff were amazing

Lovely place with very lovely people, would 100% recommend anyone to come here and try out there lovely menu and large range of drinks

We had a lovely meal. Good food, wine and good service. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back as we only live down the road.

Had a fabulous Saturday afternoon lunch at The Red. Biggest fish and chips I’ve ever seen! Friendly, fast service and a beautiful sunny beer garden.

Myself and my partner booked a table for dinner whilst staying in the area. From the minute we entered the pub we were made to feel like regulars and if I could give more than 5 stars I would! We brought our dog along with us and all three of us received excellent service throughout the duration of our visit. We had starters and mains and all the food was sublime; a proper drinking pub with 5* restaurant food! Our waitress Wendy was friendly, attentive and made our visit really enjoyable. We will be returning in the next few days!

A homely cosy pub with fantastic food, always a warm welcome from the owner Michelle and her team! A great atmosphere. Definitely my new local!

Been here a couple of times now for Sunday dinner and pub lunch absolutely delicious every time staff are super friendly and nothing is to much hassle can’t recommend it enough 😊👌

Lovely traditional pub with open fire and good atmosphere and friendly nice welcome from the owner Both had fish and chips which were big portions , obviously freshly cooked and really excellent . Shared an apple crumble which was lovely . Very pleasantly suprised by the quality of food and the whole experience . Will definitely return .

We came for drinks on Friday with our two retrievers and were made so welcome. It’s a proper cosy pub/restaurant decorated beautifully for Christmas. The house wine is delicious.. Nicely busy and friendly vibes

oked a table for 8. Took 20 minutes for drinks orders, no menus brought even after asking. Food order taken 20 minutes later again. Over an hour wait for food. By the time food was served we had been waiting 1 hour and 40 minutes. The timing of food was terrible, and several family members had finished eating before others were served. Sides came out after people had finished eating. Staff waited until food was being served to inform us something was out of stock on the menu, when I asked how long a replacement meal would be I was told by waitress ‘I can’t say, the kitchens run off its feet’, so one member had to go without a meal. 3 separate times a gluten free beef dinner came out without gluten free gravy and had to be returned. No one checked in to ask how food was. The staff would promise answers or sides and never reappear. Roast potatoes were undercooked and meal was average at best. I don’t understand why you would set a Christmas menu which cannot be turned around in a decent time. If you want quality food from here, don’t go at a busy time. Service and food do not live up to the prices. Overall bad experience which left us disappointed.

Party of 8 for lunch Sunday just gone for my mother's birthday. Took 30 mins after asking numerous times for menus and drinks to be ordered. After an hour waiting for food not being told of a delay as they brought out the first main, I was told my meal I ordered, there wasn't any left, I asked how long it would take she said I don't know as the kitchen is busy. My girlfriend is gluten intolerant and they brought out a gluten meal 3 times which the staff also admitted Another lady brought out 2 dishes and said abruptly who's are these of which we replied we can't see them so how do we know, she then put them on the table infront of the wrong person saying I'll be back I don't know what they are. We asked the lady if the mash on the roast dinner had dairy due to another allergy the woman said she'd check, but never returned so was left on the plate. By the time the last main arrived the first person was finished and no side orders had made it the table yet. They told us as the end they were 1 person down I worked in the industry for 9 years I'd understand if they were quick on their feet but to no avail they were not. Will not be returning

First visit here but won't be our last. A warm welcome from the chap behind the bar who did everything right despite being very busy, making a point of checking my edlerly mother was enjoying her food. And the food was fab. So nice to have good quality, freshly prepared food from a varied menu that isn't the same as every other pub menu.

We arrived as a party of 8. 2 arriving 5 minutes late. We ordered drinks for the six and 5 arrived. Coke had no syrup and tasted like soda. One person ordered water which didn’t get delivered. The other 2 arrived and ordered Diet Coke (pint) and a mocha. A small Diet Coke was brought but no mocha which arrived 20 minutes later after a second request. The food took ages. I know there were 8 of us but people that arrived after us were fed first . We mentioned this to the waiter who in fairness was left to run the bar and serve all the tables. We were the visited by the chef/ owner who was extremely rude and told us off for having a go at the waiter(we didn’t). When the food arrived it was very nice apart from the fact that some things were missing including one full meal. Such a shame about the attitude of the owner as the food was very good. If you don’t get things right accept the criticism,apologise and the sort it out and not have a pop at your customers. Won’t be returning When

Fabulous cozy dog friendly pub with gorgeous food and lovely staff. Very warm welcome from Molly and Risha who looked after us brilliantly. We had some small plates which had beautifully balanced equisite flavours and a naughty but wonderful sticky toffee pudding. We popped in as we were passing not knowing anything about the place, but are so glad we did as it exceeded all our expectations - definately our new favourite place. Thank you guys xxxx ❤️

We came here for drinks and dinner 2 nights running and the fact that we came back a second time speaks volumes. The food is truly amazing but just as good as the food is the fantastic welcome. After 2 visits we feel like locals. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We can highly recommend the Red Lion.

Went here over Bank Holiday. Had intended to stay 2hrs but stayed 9hrs to watch entertainment. Wonderful atmosphere, everybody very friendly. Tasted bbq while there which was very tasty. Peter the landlord is a gem, very funny and welcoming and took the trouble to talk to everybody - and I mean everybody - to get to know them

After reading good reviews we were really disappointed! We came for a family sunday lunch, firstly the waitress got my sons order wrong, (beef instead of chicken) which wasn’t a problem as we all make mistakes , the waitress apologised for the mistake but it then took another 20 minutes before his food came out in which I sat eating my dinner alone, I had no roast potatoes on my beef roast and made the waitress aware of this to which she apologised and told me she would bring them out asap , i ate my meal as slow as I could waiting and waiting but I eventually finished my food and asked for the bill, no roast potatoes ever turned up as they had obviously forgotten a second time! We weren’t offered any drinks through the meal or even asked how our food was, we felt like we were totally forgotten about or ignored and to top it off the food was very average After being given the bill at full price I then explained what had happened and they took the kids meals off the bill which was ok but I hate complaining and felt really awkward that I had to explain what had happened like they were totally unaware Such a shame as it’s such a lovely looking little pub,

Last minute decision for Sunday lunch. We weren’t disappointed! Lovely, welcoming host and an epic Sunday lunch. Delicious, scoffed the lot! No room for pud, will need to knock a couple of roast potatoes off our plates next time.

Excellent home cooked food, friendly service, and good atmosphere. Gammon egg and chips and the homemade lasagne were judged excellent.

Visited here on a Friday evening and sat outside in loverly weather Ordered the fish and chips which arrived over cooked. Burnt fish and chips Easy to cook poor show Friday

Another superb supper. Beautiful Hake with crushed pots and pea and asparagus purée. Above and beyond pub food and of course service from Peter and Wendy makes the evening special Thank you ☺️☺️

What a gem of a pub!!!! A little impromptu drive in our camper van found us rocking up for dinner at the last minute at this exquisite little pub - sorry, not sorry!!!! Everything from the service to the food was nothing short of spectacular. Thanks to Wendy for looking after us, you are all amazing - we will certainly be back.

Very friendly - the takeaway fish and chips I ordered were ready and waiting for me when I arrived, and were great at the end of a long and stressful day

Fabulous Mother's day lunch! The food was amazing we both had the beef which was tender and very tasty, it was served with crispy roasties and a good selection of seasonal vegetables. The portions were generous with plenty of meat. The atmosphere and welcome created by Peter and the team is always second to none, nothing is too much trouble and everyone is made to feel special. The pub is full of character, lovely open fireplace and dog friendly, also the prices are very reasonable for home cooked food. Will be back soon.

This lovely pub with restaurant, has become one of our 'go to' places, as it serves the most delicious menu. There is also a great variety of alcohol on offer, and the proprietor, Pete is lovely. He truly does have a business to be very proud of. His hard work and endless dedication is show in the quality of the meals, and the great staff team. Well done!

Came here for Sunday lunch last weekend and it was delicious! Amazing food, amazing service, plenty of choice, and a really beautiful place too. The owner Pete was lovely! Will definitely return!

Been a regular customer here now for about 6 months as not to far from Barry Staff are very welcoming and friendly Food and drinks are excellent Great value for money Well done to all the staff, the owner should be proud of you all....

Distinctly average in every respect. The service was half-hearted, the excuses for missing food items lame, and the menu generally dull. Nothing stood out really, although nothing was terrible either. But when you pay above average for your meal, you do expect more effort and...

Food amazing, atmosphere amazing, The staff are extremely welcoming. If you’re looking for a Welsh pub/ restaurant then you can’t go wrong. The place never disappoints.

Really good food, well presented and lots of it. Couldn’t fault the food or drinks. The staff were brilliant, they had to deal with 17 walkers suddenly turning up and wanting food and drinks, not phased at all they were helpful, polite and efficient and...

Sunday lunch was really tasty ,well presented and plentiful. Defenetly return.beef was delicious .My husband had a desert of sticky toffee pudding which was gorgeous and a generous portion.n8ce xmas atmosphere too.

We have visited the Red Lion on several occassions of late, always had a great welcome and amazing, good quality food. A cosy pub with a great atmosphere. Certianly the best in the area by far!

Another fantastic Sunday lunch today. The best pub in the Vale by a mile. Superb food, great atmosphere, fabulous staff & most of all the Landlord is a dish according to my husband

Travelled up from Swansea for lunch with relatives. Staff member was so attentive and friendly even though she was busy as she was on her own with quite a few customers. Very impressed with the food, the roast hake special was delicious.

Arrived here today for a birthday meal but our table of 9 arrived hoping to sit at the table we had booked on the 6th October only to be told no such table had been booked despite having it confirmed by the manager Pete at...

Driven past so many times. Because it is a pub by a main road, we've always dismissed it and gone on. It was late today, so we nipped in. Its a lovely place, nicely decorated and the landlord (and two dogs) are really welcoming and...

Without doubt the best Sunday lunch we have ever had. Prawn starter amazing, and the roast beef was superb. Atmosphere excellent, service excellent, and Pete makes the whole experience uplifting and fun.

My wife and I booked for sunday lunch yesterday 9th Oct, when we arrived we were taken to a table in the centre of the room, shortly after an elderly couple came in and one of which was on crutches they were seated in a...

This is our local pub and we have visited a number of time. Always warm and welcoming and go above and beyond to accommodate us, at last notice. We hadn't planned on eating but we decided on the 3 x sharing plates. All was delicious...

Great warm welcome on arrival, we loved the food so much we went twice in one week and can’t wait to go back. Everything we ordered on both occasions was beautifully presented and delicious. From divine Thai green prawn curry to superbly cooked steak &...

We visited Red Lion for our first Sunday lunch, although have been many times in other occasions. There were 4 adults and 1 child in our party. Red Lion does children menu. In summary, this was a Sunday lunch that was excellent in both quality...

A welcoming atmosphere where the staff are friendly, the food is excellent with great live entertainment. Would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely fabulous evening! Warm and friendly atmosphere,Food was excellent and the service was outstanding the staff couldn't do enough for you. Definitely will visit again soon . Well done Red Lion you have some amazing staff .

Lovely lunch yesterday on the hottest day of the year. Nice choice of food and friendly service. Thank you

Just returned from having lunch at the Red Lion. This is a great find and will be putting it on our ‘regular’ list. Lovely and cool inside but there were a number of parasols in the beer garden to provide shade for those who could...

Had lunch in the Red Lion yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised at the menu, it was much better than the usual pub lunch fare. Peter greeted us on arrival and was so friendly and helpful throughout our visit, it made us feel welcome and...

Since taken over by Peter the restaurant/pub has improved beyond belief. We often visit for lunch and the welcome/service is excellent and recent change in menu is also very good. Deserves to flourish !

We returned today after a lovely meal on a previous visit and had another one ! King prawn linguine was excellent and my steak beautifully cooked and presented. Stilton sauce to die for. Honeycomb cheesecake was as good as it sounds. A very warm welcome...

Sunday lunch was outstanding. The best Sunday lunch I have ever had out to date. Everything was cooked to perfection and served piping hot by the friendliest and most helpful staff.

Great visit again to Red Lion for early supper. Food and service first rate. Great to have a good local pup

Wow! This pub ticks all the boxes, great front of house, drinks and off the scale food. Everything freshly made from scratch and you can tell. This pub takes pub grub to another level! Well done all involved. . We will definitely be back.

What a surprise. Much nicer than it looks from the outsiders, the red lion is warm, quaint and welcoming. The food is excellent. The fish and chips was beautifully cooked. Crisp and tasty. The gammon snd lasagne very tasty too. The service was very friendly...

Peter the landlord is so welcoming and fun! Food outstanding atmosphere brilliant. Best pub in the Vale x

Tonight I had dinner and a music night at the Red Lion. Great host Peter, lovely meal and great music with Little Rock. Definitely go again.

Fantastic welcome, in beautifully decorated Halloween themed pub/restaurant with a great selection of beers etc. We had the calamari and chorizo starters which were excellent, and for mains, my wife had the best Lasagne she’s ever had, and I had the Red Lion gourmet burger,...

This pub has a lovely beer garden, however also has a great ambience inside. We've always received a warm welcome from Pete (landlord) and his team, and really enjoyed the food. I'd highly recommend the pub for drinks / a meal with family or friends....

Fabulous atmosphere and wonderful staff, great pub food. Worth a visit. Go on their Facebook page for live music nights

My family and I stopped by for a roast dinner on Sunday. The food was excellent, best roast we’ve had in a long time and we eat out often (I had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection!). Staff are all super friendly and...

Visited with family on summer afternoon. Sat outside. Very good service and food was above average. Portions good. Only downside, please turn off radio feed to garden. Will definitely return.

This is a lovely pub run by a hospitable landlord and a friendly team of staff. The menu has something for everyone and the food is always cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. The interior is in traditional pub style and is very welcoming and...

Went for lunch with family yesterday, had the lamb shank, it was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning. The staff were lovely, really nice atmosphere

Very disappointed with our visit here! They just completely lacked the basics in hospitality. We arrived and Were shown to our table and then like a lot of unprofessional places they think they have done their job! we then had to go and find somebody...

We called into the Red Lion this afternoon for lunch I have to say it was excellent👍 Great food wonderful staff and beautiful building with amazing hanging baskets outside I counted 12. Well worth a visit and a real reminder of what we have missed...

Couldn't rate this food higher. Everything was freshly cooked from scratch, really tasty and plentiful. Didn't have to wait long and the staff were great. Highly recommed

We had a beautiful 3 course lunch at The Red Lion. The food was some of the best I’ve eaten in The Vale - their Asian sticky chicken wings are absolutely stunning!! Affordable and top notch quality. The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive....

First time we’ve had a takeaway Sunday lunch at the Red and was not disappointed. The lamb shank with creamy mashed potato with lashings of minted gravy was amazing 😋 with pigs in blankets and gluten free cauliflower cheese as side dishes was certainly the...

I have to compliment the red lion on our Sunday lunch . An Efficient and excellent service and a delicious take away Sunday lunch. I can’t wait for them to reopen and to enjoy Sunday lunch how it used to be. But well done for...

What a lovely pub, very cosy and welcoming with small little extra touches that make the difference, fresh flowers on the table and a little tealight candle, also dog friendly. The food was delicious, I had beef and hubby had the chicken both of us...

Don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to get back and to do a review for a new place that we visited today. A familiar place, driven past so many times on the A48, yet the power of an FB add popped up promoting their Sunday lunch. We decided as a 2nd lockdown is imminent that we’d pop over to The Red Lion in Bonvilston. Great car park and a friendly welcome were a pleasing start. Once we’d sat down and damasked the full extent of where we were sitting absolutely got me....it’s quaint, traditional (yet quirky) and cosy feel is so important having done these reviews for the last 18 months. And this is definitely my type of place. PPE is fully adhered to and well spaced out. Fresh flowers and a candle on the table were a lovely touch. Small attention to detail, but just great. The menu came on a chalk board, but we were too late for the lamb shank, which looked amazing when it arrived on another table. We opted for beef and pork cooked dinner. We didn’t wait long before our food arrived....where do I start? So first things first, the presentation was exquisite! Seriously, for a £12.95 meal this was just phenomenal -a full plate of gorgeous, piping hot food. My pork was tender, vegetables superbly cooked, gravy was meaty and tasty, cauliflower cheese, as an extra, was creamy and cooked just right. I don’t like purple cabbage as a rule, but this was lovely and as for the roasties - just as my Nan would make; crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Did I forgot the pureed, crushed swede hidden under the Yorkshire? Mr M’s beef is the best he’s had since i started doing this and that is high praise from him. What a feast, and although full I was dying to see the pudding menu. A great choice was presented, so I opted for lemon meringue pie and Mr M went for sticky toffee with homemade custard. Well when it came out, we were bowled over again. I can’t remember the last time a pudding came out with a flower on it. It was sssooooo good! Tangy lemon filling in a pastry case with a light fluffy meringue piped on top. The sticky toffee pudding sauce was to die for! The pudding was not dense but totally moreish.We had the best time....seriously if you’d like some beautiful, cooked food in a comfortable and warming atmosphere, this place is up there as being one of the best in the Vale we’ve visited. To know Pete, the owner has only been it he manager for 12 months and reigniting an obvious passion for food, which is seen in the quality and the decor. His attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed. It was so nice to see it being visited by other diners. I really hope people support it if they go back into another lockdown. We will definitely get a takeaway if they are available and have booked in for the Sunday before Christmas.....outstandingly, great experience. PS Can we also say how lovely the staff were, especially Pete’s Mum - what a star! What a lovely lady x Thank you for a memorable and lovely Sunday lunch out.

Sunday lunch was the best, We had garlic mushrooms to start, followed by a pork and a beef dinner and to finish a cheese board. All of which were extremely tasty, the Sunday roast was the best we have had and We will now not go anywhere else! Service was perfect, welcoming and made us feel at home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

I had Sunday roast with my family. It was beautifully cooked, really tasty. The roast beef I had was cooked to perfection. The Red Lion has had a renovation and it feels clean and homely. The service was really efficient and friendly, even to my new little rescue doggies. Thank you Red Lion. I will definitely be returning.

Everything was amazing , called in last night ! So glad we found “ The Red Lion “ the food and the staff were OUTSTANDING ! Can not wait to return ! Please look at the photos of the food 🥘

Went with three friends for lunch. They had the gf five bean chilli and I had the cod, chips and mushy peas. My friends enjoyed their meals. The fish was white, the batter was tasty and crispy and they were REAL chips. I cleared my plate. Delicious. Nice coffee ( but no soya milk.) They were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Service was good and would be really happy to return.

Myself and my partner was there today. We ordered a Sunday lunch pork and beef. After waiting 45 minutes the food came out cold. They took the food back in and after another 10 minutes food arrived on the table. For starters the pork wasn’t cooked, the taste of the meal very bland, the beef dinner again bland in taste and for some reason you tasted burnt food. Service: very very slow, nobody asking between your meal if is everything all right. When I went to pay no apologies at all, and no question has been asked about if everything was all right with your visit. I will not recommend this place to any of my family or friends.

Been twice in a week and have booked to try Sunday Lunch tomorrow. Really impressed food was amazing! Best chips ever and staff are very friendly, definitely becoming one of our favourites

Lovely Pub to visit while the restrictions are slowly lifting. Outside Seating only at this time but thoughtfully planned out with undercover seating for those rainy days.Pleasantly greeted by the proprietor and staff and couldn’t have been more helpful.Limited menu and drinks but plenty of options to choose from. Food was excellent and the drinks kept coming. Think we lost count after the 4th bottle!! Many thanks for your hospitality xWill be visiting again very soon and will pay an extra tip if we can order the Sun next time

When we can’t visit one of our favourite pubs, then they start the take away service......how could we resist?!? Great fantastic Sunday lunch as usual, Highly recommended!!! Keep up the great work Peter & The Team.

Highly recommended. Good quality food, pleasant staff, relaxed ambience. Building is full of character. Plentiful parking.

Having passed the Red Lion on numerous occasions, we thought we give it a try.Only one other couple in the pub so seating was not an issue.My wife had the curry and I had the gammon. Both of us came to the opinion that the food was nothing special and really average. For what you pay we would not say it is good value for money.Never mind at least we gave in a try.

I visited this gem from a recommendation from a friend. Pleasantly surprised after visiting! Lovely staff; especially the new landlord, Pete, lots of smiles and good chit chat. I ordered the fish and chips and my friend had the seafood tagliatelle, it was cooked to perfection and arrived warm. The fish was lightly battered and crispy, tender to bite into, thoroughly impressed! I ended up staying for a few drinks and got on really well with the clientele... There was live music at 9. The fish is actually fresh from Cardiff Market, Ashton, so I found out. Give this place a go, it won't disappoint. Thumbs up from me and my mucker.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch at this friendly pub. The landlord gives a big welcome and his staff follow suit. The traditional Sunday lunch was delicious. The beef was perfect and vegetables nicely cooked. Particularly enjoyed the cauliflower cheese. Traditional apple pie and custard couldn’t be beaten. Will definitely go again.

My partner and I enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch in this good old fashioned country pub just outside Cardiff. Good choice of meat served with a whole assortment of perfectly cooked vegetables. We followed this with a couple of nice desserts, which had the bonus of being free due to a January promotion. The new landlord, Peter, is very friendly and he and his staff were very attentive to us and all the other customers. Excellent food and very good value.

Husband and I called for lunch today. Lovely welcome. We both had beef dinner. Beautiful beef loads of it too. Served with swede parsnips broccoli green beans sprouts carrots and cabbage Yorkshire pudding too. Everything was really tasty. Had apple pie and custard for dessert tasted like homemade. We will be back.

Amazing food, 2 massive slabs of beef, lovely veg and amazing Gravy! Staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere in the pub was really relaxed and cosy with a wonderful wood burner! Congratulations to the new landlord, Will definitely be back again! (I was going to take a photo of the food but I enjoyed it too much!)
