The New Inn in Sedgemoor - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We visited yesterday without booking for an early evening meal. To be fair the staff were accommodating, hospitable and friendly. Unfortunately the food we ordered was seriously underwhelming. Ordered two "Homemade" lasagne meals at £17 each. I was assured after enquiring and ordering that the lasagne meals were in actual fact "homemade". I specifically enquired as I have been misled at another pub before. It's unlikely that the meals were homemade in that they were underwhelming in terms of flavour and having a low meat content. The dishes were rather small too, not dissimilar to that of a ready meal / takeaway container size. After tasting the food I am convinced the meals were 'ready' meals. £34 for two ready meals is not good value for money. As we did not want to make a fuss we did not complain in person about the food and challenge the authenticity of the homemade lasagne. I can't comment on the other food there and perhaps it is okay. I am not encouraging the reader not to visit the pub I am encouraging the reader not to order the lasagne meal.

Fabulous food. A great menu and lots of choice of specials too. Great, attentive staff and lovely surroundings. The duck Bon Bon’s were delicious! The steak was top quality.

What a shame,we loved the food in this pub but now it’s cheap produce and frozen food. We thought the dessert would be better than the main but the cheesecake was like eating glue!!

This has been our favourite pub for 15 years but I will not be returning . The prices have become so ridiculous that I just can't justify it . We have always liked the pub because the food is all home cooked and bar staff generally personable. Time before last a glass of Malbec had gone up to £9+ Which I thought was extortionate but last visit it was now over £10 !! £30+ for a bottle of Malbec !! This is a mark up of of over 75% saying bottle cost £7 buying in bulk could be cheaper.Top class restaurants do not charge this! Also the food portions are now less and also gone up.Favourite chicken breast in boursin sauce gone from £16 to £20 ! Huge increase smaller chicken breast and small portion of veg served on plate instead of separate dish. £16 for 2 sausages ! The food is still very nice and if the drink was not so expensive I may have gone back but just feel this is a Ripoff.Have been many places since and no where has charged over £10 for Malbec.😟

Visited with a view to have a family lunch but upon seeing the menu options, lack of vegetarian choices and the price of £13 for a baguette we unfortunately decided to leave. This was one of the last gems of somewhere to go where you could be assured of a good value lunch but have had to strike this one off the list until it's changed back to what it was before or improves. I visited a few months ago for an evening meal and left after reading the menu and lack of vegetarian options. Its becoming more difficult to be able to afford to go out for food due to cost. Really disappointed.

One option on the mains. Broad bean burger on brioche bun. Plain bun. Stale. Two lettuce leaves. Slice of tomato and chips. So dry had to give up halfway through. Burger, if you can call it that was a fried brakebrothers special. Truly awful....

We booked as enjoyed this roast elsewhere. At £22 we were disappointed with half portion size for the pork, extra for Yorkshire pudding and potatoes which weren’t crispy. Still a good roast but not as good as we previously experienced.

I emailed the pub to book and we went for dinner. The pub looked really quiet from the outside and we were unsure but we had a lovely meal! Specials board had lots of choice and the food was really nice. Main portions were big so I’m glad we didn’t get starters as well. Lovely find

We were staying across the road and tried The New Inn on our first night for convenience and were definitely not disappointed! The choice of food was excellent and the chosen meals were superb. The staff were helpful and friendly. We ended up eating here again as we knew the food wouldn't disappoint and enjoyed yet another excellent meal. We would definitely recommend eating here!

We stopped for lunch. The food was FANTASTIC!!! Well done chef! Staff very friendly. We really recomended this place.

We were staying in Wedmore for a week, arriving on Saturday. Unfortunately we didn't visit the New Inn until the Wednesday. We were lucky to get in as Wednesday is the popular Steak Night and the pub was very busy.The Steak was so good, perfectly cooked as requested, it was so good we returned on Thursday and we were equally pleased. If you find yourself in the village, we really recommend a visit.

Beautiful old pub with a great menu, something for everyone, and very good service. The food was excellent and our party all enjoyed the lunch.

We chose this pub for lunch after a walk around the cheddar reservoir The service was good and the food we had was excellent.

The New Inn was very close to a B&B we were staying in, and rightfully recommended by the owners. My partner had the sea bass with a butternut squash risotto, which she found to be delicious and full of flavour. The fish was cooked to perfection with a nice crispy skin. I had the fish pie with salmon and prawns, which was also very tasty. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly, and offered advice on local drinks according to our tastes.

I never write reviews but use trip advisor for suggestions.It was absolutely incredible, perfectly cooked food, wait time was 10-15mins as everything is cooked fresh even including the sauces. Never had a better meal in my life. Don’t be scared of the specials board either, it’s just as fantastic. We had pork belly and pork loins. Wow is all we can say!!

Me and my boyfriend came here at lunchtime and the food was amazing! Came out quickly, cooked perfectly and staff are very polite and helpful! This is now our go to pub and we will be working our way through the menu. If I could rate more, I would!

This pub was just across the road from our B&B. If is a food pub and was almost full with locals (albeit to reduced covid capacity) on a Monday night in mid October.The menu features pub standards, well executed with popular grills, some local specialities - butcher's sausages and faggots, several seafood specials and a couple of vegetarian choices.We enjoyed our meal so much we immediately booked for the following night which is very rare for us.Ask for extra custard - the staff are happy to oblige!

Popped in here one evening. It was a Monday, but despite that, it was surprisingly busy! Had very nice meals (gammon steak and lamb shank) both prepared and served excellently. Would definitely recommend booking a table, to avoid disappointment. I must add my admiration of how well the young man sanitised a table & chairs after people left, excellent job! Well done to him!!

Stayed across the road at Old Manor House - 2 nights of great food (please book as can be very busy). Lovely warm village pub - great atmosphere and welcoming staff.

Couldn't fault this pub, fab food, fab staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere. We stayed at Cheddar Woods from Monday to Friday and this was our go to pub for three nights of our stay, the staff go above and beyond with thier service, and we couldn't fault the food. If you're local or staying in the area on a mini break, I would highly recommend a visit. Also, the staff are constantly on top of keeping all areas clean and sanitised in the covid situation.

We visited the area to see the caves and stayed at the Old Manor House. This was in walking distance and we had two lovely meals there. The first night my daughter and I had lovely gammon steak with egg with chips and salad or peas. The steak was so large my daughter took the leftovers for the next day. My wife and I had started with Prawn cocktail and crab cakes that we very tasty. My son had a ham baguette and chips which he enjoyed. My wife had a very tasty lasagne with garlic bread. it was all washed down with thatcher’s cider, merlot and calypso coffees. We enjoyed it so much we went back on day 2, but skipped the starters as the main portions were so big. I had a ploughman’s with cheeses and ham which was great and filling. The others had succulent steak dinners. It was very busy, well used by the locals, which is a good sign. Staff were friendly and masked up.

We visited here for dinner whilst staying across the road at The Old Manor House B&B. It was a Sunday evening and the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. The selection of food and drink was good and was god quality too, and very generous portions!

A lovely pub with a nice cosy interior and great looking pub garden with really nice views of the countryside. Dog friendly which was a plus for us. We both had the pork belly, rich was divine. Taste and presentation superb. Staff very friendly.

Met with our friends for The Sunday Roast at The New Inn and what a lovely pub never been there before but will definitely be going back. The food was excellent and desserts yummy ! pub was nice and clean and everything safe due to "coronavirus "Was very lucky with parking too Excellent value

Our party of five came to the New Inn for lunch as part of my mother’s 91st Birthday treats. We were warmly welcomed and shown our reserved table in the bar. While several other groups were also eating there we were all safely distanced. We were given our own printed daily menu to share which would be disposed of at the end of the meal. Our drink orders were taken and brought to the table. There were a variety of very tempting choices both on the menu and specials boards. My husband I chose the pan fried Tuna with risotto which absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked and the rice rich and creamy. My sister’s Chilli Chicken was also deemed really good. The other choices of Ham Salad, soup and filled baguette were excellent too. Although we deferred on puddings (we were going back for tea and Birthday Cake) there were several slightly different ones in addition to the usual choices which was good to see. We noticed that tables and chairs were all sanitised after guests had left. The New Inn is a reliable stopping point for meals on the A38 or if staying at The Old Manor House across the road (which we have several times). Food is consistently very good which is why we came over from Wedmore. It was really lovely to have enjoyed a great lunch in a safe and friendly venue. Well done!

Excellent pub..the food is well worth the visit. Good menu selection with specials changing every day .Not over priced ..cosy atmosphere.

Had an evening dinner for three. Contacted the pub by email and received a very quick response and reservation. Had a soup and two bread and olives to start with added halloumi...Lots of olives!!! Two Cajun chicken breasts and one fish pie off specials board for mains and bakewell tart off specials board, brownie and ice-cream and treacle pudding. Good choice on menu and specials. Quick service, filling food and very nice staff. Was very convenient as we were staying the the B&B opposite. Looks like the garden area was nice and spacious too. Definitely recommend. Went back the following night for puddings!

We had lunch here, and the menu was really interesting, and all the food delicious. The service was really good too, and we were blessed with the weather as the garden has a really lovely outlook. I would return.

Outstanding service. Excellent food. Superb menu choice. Lovely views from the beer garden. Dog friendly Lovely clean toilets

This was recommended to us We parked easily which didn’t think we would No cauliflower cheese which is advertised on web page Not much on the dinner really portions quite small Not one of our worst but nothing to shout about

Got parked no problem nearly put me off Served in a timely manner No cauliflower cheese thou which was on the website a downer for me haha Could of done with a bigger portion but decent for the price 3 empty plates

Slow service. Curry looked like it had been cooked last week and reheated, few chunks of meat, very tough served with tartar sauce or gone off majo?! Two well done steaks, looked like rubber, unable to saw through with a steak knife and even harder to attempt to chew. Chips solid and peas over cooked. Very slow to clear tables. Shame as had heard good things and thought we would be pleasantly surprised. Never going to waste our time coming back.

Stopped in for some lunch, excellent pub garden & views. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Great menu selection, baguettes/jackets, classic pub mains and sunday lunches all available. Local cider & beers Fantastic

Between us we had lasagne, burger and Cajun chicken. All very yummy and there was a host of specials to choose from as well. Great service too 😊

We were stopping across the road at a lovely B&B and so we booked in for an evening meal. The pub/ restaurant has a good selection of beers and food. It was a Monday evening but it was still very busy. Possibly because of the government’s half price meals. The food was very good and we were far enough from others so as not to be crowded.There is a nice beer garden out the back.

On holiday nearby and called in for lunch - sat in the garden. Good social distancing measures in place. Rally good food, staff all friendly. Called again for lunch and booked for the friday evening. Very dog freindly. Can recommend, the steak, fish and chis, risotto and ploughmans. Well worth a visit.

We booked for a Sunday teatime. On arriving at the bar we were told that there were no Roast dinners left and were given a menu and directed to a table. No one came to take orders for anything so we went to order at the bar. We ordered food and drinks and sat back down, noticing that other people were having orders taken at the table. When we received the food it was ok but nothing I couldn't make better myself. We were going to order dessert and waited for someone to ask if we would like dessert but no-one came near. We heard the table behind saying they had ordered dessert 3 times and it still hadn't arrived. The atmosphere wasn't great so we paid and left feeling rather disappointed.

Steak was delicious, I fully recommend the cheese and mustard sauce. Went on a week day lunch time and sat in the garden which was very pleasant. Took COVID-19 measures very seriously which was encouraging.

We had a lovely pub lunch in the garden with our dog. Brilliant food at the normal good quality pub prices. Goregous view from the garden too.

Having had a very disappointing experience at the Rodney Stoke Inn, we came to the New Inn. As it’s on a main tourist route we feared it might be a little ‘grockley’ but far from it, it was excellent.We were welcomed as soon as we entered and served promptly and courteously. We ordered food which arrived quickly and tasted very good.We will be very happy to return when we’re next passing.

At last a real pub with a great atmosphere catering for people who want a drink but also an area for food. Excellent specials board with local choices. I had steak which was perfectly cooked and the flavour was delicious. Prices good as well. Good choice of wine and brillant choice of beers.

Food was good but having booked in advance were disappointed with our table. We were seated in “the Snugg” which was anything but. Off the main bar it was cold poorly lit and our table was squeezed in under the staircase giving a significant lack of head room

Very friendly staff. Myself and my partner ordered the fish and chips. Generous portion, well presented. Would recommend

We were very disappointed with the standard of 2 main meals! Parsnip crisps that were soggy, venison stew with 4 small pieces of venison, not up to the normal standard, hope this was just a bad day!

Booked for my mums birthday and have never been before. Great little pub and atmosphere was nice too. Great menus options. Had vegetarians in the family too so catered for everyone. Roasts were great, nitroast included, great portion sizes and lovely home cooked food. Staff were very friendly and amusing. I would definately recommend reserving as very busy on a sunday evening and I can see why! We will go back again for sure!

Food is great but the roast isn’t all that.. beef was from a packet, would have been abit nicer if it was cut from a joint but the potatoes, veg and Yorkshire puddings were great. Had an absolutely amazing Lasagne with garlic bread and a salad.. garlic bread gets a 5/5 and very filling. Faggots were delicious and the Ham egg and chips was the best one I’ve had in a long time

As visitors to the area we picked this pub out pretty much at random but as it turned out we were thrilled with the choice we’d made. The staff were relaxed, friendly but efficient. The ambiance was great, with seasonal decorations, pleasantly spaced tables and a cosy atmosphere. The menu offered good, varied choices, with a few slightly more unusual dishes, plus there were loads of specials. All 4 mains our family had were fantastic, well-cooked, good quality food, nicely served, with generous portions. Desserts too were delicious, the brownie being particularly well-received by one group member! Prices were a little higher than we’re used to in the north but given the superb quality it was well worth it. The only tiny problem for this pub is it’s limited parking, but we had a brilliant evening, and if we lived in the area we’d go here regularly. Thanks to all at the New Inn.

Stayed across the road and came over here 2 nights in a row for dinner. Food just delicious and very friendly helpful staff

Too often pubs see a Ploughmans as a high price low cost item leaving the customer wishing they had picked s hot meal. I can honestly say the Ploughman I had at the New Inn today was the best I've had for twenty or thirty years. Huge with lovely crusty bread fresh salad and huge slabs of Cheddar and Stilton. Please please don't reduce quality and I promise to pay many repeat visits. Can't wait!!!

Just visited for a late lunch as we were in the area, have visited before and will not hesitate to visit again, Lovely home cooked food with a cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, lots of specials to choose from and very hard to choose as they all sounded yummy, don’t hesitate to try here you won’t be disappointed

I was staying with friends in the local b and b and were recommended to this pub. It didn't disappoint. Food was delicious, varied menu and cater for allergies. The young waiter was a credit to the pub, friendly but professional.. nothing was too much trouble. In addition a male member of staff who was there on the Friday night but not on the Saturday was hilarious..great bants! Recommend highly

Lovely food and very friendly and helpful staff. Extensive menu and specials boards. Would definitely visit again.

We went for lunch on a Sunday, the food was delicious and portions generous. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Had Sunday lunch here, a large group of us, staff friendly and efficient. Nothing too much trouble. Food was delicious and fresh and hot. Finished off with a gorgeous brownie. Will definitely return.

Nice friendly pub the food was great good selection of local ales CAMRA approved. It can get busy so for weekend dining a reservation required to avoid disappointment.

Popped in without booking on our wedding anniversary. Had seen good reviews and thought we'd visit on the way to Cheddar Gorge. Was early enough to get a table with our dog but it filled up quickly! Not surprised - lovely staff, great food. One of the only places I've been able to enjoy a roast dinner as a veggie! Fab nut roast with roast spuds and well cooked veg. Will deffo be back when we visit again.

First visit though we live fairly locally, looking for somewhere different to go and we are really pleased we did ! Great pub style basic menu with a varied specials board. I usually have steak when I go out so I ordered rib eye and can honestly say it’s one of the best steaks I have ever had ! Cooked perfectly, great flavour, well rested and very little fat. Lovely puddings too, definitely be back

We are on holiday. The owner of our cottage recommended this place.

We popped in to book a table for a meal the bar staff where very pleasant and helpful in taking our booking for the following night.

Food and beer were excellent with great service, the pub is a classic country pub with a brilliant selection of beers. Extensive specials board lots of choice

Popped in on the way to Bath Spa to drop my son off at University. Didn't book but arrived early enough to get a table for three and enjoyed a very nice roast. Good selection of ales, wines and spirits and a varied menu. Prices very reasonable, service was friendly and prompt and food nice, tasty and hot. The place filled up quite quickly, so either get there early or book a table. Recommended.

Cycled out from Bristol because the pub was in the new CAMRAs good beer guide. The food offering was so much better than expected. Beer was great too. Definitely worth the visit.

We called in here last Sunday, we hadn't booked, but were quickly found a pleasant table and served efficiently with a smile. The roast beef was excellent. Topped off with a Lemon posset and Chocolate Brownie. Nice relaxed atmosphere with excellent customer service and friendly staff. Will definitely come back again.

Staff are amazing, food is bang on and you feel as you walk through the front door you are welcome. It's a great place old but new, a perfect balance.

Stopped off here for my little one to have a run around before our flight at Bristol airport, good play area, good food, lovely staff. Perfect distance away from our meet and greet at express drop off for the car as well. Very good changing facilities for the baby and toilets also

went in before flying home it was early about 530pm made very welcome had some good gorge real ale and ate belly pork and also salmon nice veg sauce and prsented very well thank you

Has an exceptional meal here for my friends birthday the service was quick & the staff extremely pleasant & helpful .

My wife and I booked a couple of days ago for this popular pub. Good job really as it was really busy with a great atmosphere.

Had a really delicious Sunday roast here whilst on holiday. A dog friendly pub too! The staff were so welcoming & lovely. Would recommend without hesitation!

Took the family here for lunch, brilliant food and hearty portions! The bar staff were really helpful and friendly and the price was great. Brilliant experience overall would highly recommend a visit.

This is my local pub which I visit every day.

Drink in the New Inn regularly & eat in there every couple of months & the food, service & staff are all amazing.

On arrival at lunch time on Friday 09 August, I asked the bar person what she would recommend from the daily specials. The not particularly helpful response was "everything". I should have gone with my instincts and left at that stage but unfortunately my 85 year old mum and I had been travelling since 0700 that morning so stayed. Big mistake... My mum ordered lasagne and I ordered beer battered fish and chips. The meals arrived and I asked for ketchup. The chips were hardly cooked and when I asked for them to be cooked a few minutes more, I was informed that this was because of the poor quality potatoes they were using... The meal arrived for the second time and indeed the chips were more acceptably cooked. Unfortunately the oil that had been used left a nasty taste in my mouth. The fish had also been re-cooked and the batter was oily and hard. Had I not been travelling since early morning and very hungry, I would have sent it back. The 2nd request for ketchup met with an almost empty bottle of the nastiest quality ketchup I have ever experienced. As we had almost finished our meals, the young lass waiting our table flitted past our table without stopping and asking if everything was OK. By the time I had swallowed my mouthful to respond, she had disappeared - good luck for her.

We booked an evening meal here on a Sunday after it being recommended by a friend. We were very glad that we did as everything about our visit was wonderful. Lovely food (full menu as well as roast) and friendly staff. We will definitely return.

A fab little pub, amazing food and nice play area for the kids. Friendly staff and broke up a long journey perfectly.

Ate here whilst on holiday in the area. Good selection of beers, cider and soft drinks. Fab choice of meals, my family ordered white bait, pate and soup for starters , they were all a very decent size. For main course it was the fish pie from the special board and the faggots from the main menu. All dishes were served promptly and piping hot. Will definitely return.

Ate here 2 nights. Food was delicious, service was friendly and punctual and overall good value. Nice outside area with slide and a few bits for smaller children, lovely view of the mendips. I'd recommend booking.

We were a group of 6 looking for a central location to meet at lunch time on a weekday. Having booked we arrived to find a traditional pub atmosphere with spacious tables.

We stayed close by and were told of this venue to eat our evening meal. The pub itself is a characterful place across a very busy road. The people were welcoming and friendly and the specials looked good with a decent variety of starters mains and puds on display. The menu itself was traditional pub grub style food and the atmosphere was upbeat and cozy.

We recently stayed at the nearby Old manor house b+b and was advised to eat our evening meals here as the food was good and reasonably priced. We were not disappointed and found that the food on both main menu and the children's menu were outstanding. So much so that we found ourselves booking a table there 3 nights of the 4 we were there. Excellent food and beer at very reasonable prices.Also an excellent beer garden that our children enjoyed! Would highly recommend anyone staying nearby or even just passing through to pop in for a meal and pint! Very friendly and helpful staff as well.

Unplanned stop for food after hours stuck on m5. Pleasant surprise to find somewhere really friendly, excellent choice on menu and when food came out. Cannot fault any part of this. Both enjoyed our meals. Included a photo of the Gamon egg and chips.

I had dinner there on three consecutive evenings. Delicious food and friendly staff. A great pleasure.

We were staying at the Old Manor House across the road so popped over for our evening meal. There was a good choice, reasonably priced and the food was delicious.

We visited this gem yesterday evening for our anniversary, we have eaten here a few times now and have had lovely food and great service every time. I had the homemade lasagne with salad and garlic bread, it came piping hot and we weren’t waiting long at all. My boyfriend had the chicken breast wrapped in bacon with leek and potato mash with garlic and parsley sauce, he loved it. Can’t fault this place at all and the Sunday roasts are very nice! Consistency is key and that’s why we return.

Beautifully cooked food. Piping hot. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. Looking forward to going again. Thank you.

Had an excellent lunch, delicious food, beautifully served. Staff were friendly and very efficient. A great find and will certainly go back!

The start of our holiday, a stop at New Inn.

Thanks to all the staff at the New Inn Cross for an outstanding meal and all the help they gave us for every little whim we needed tending. The food is incredible at this pub. I had faggots which were very tasty. Several had roasts and others belly pork etc. Everybody was happy. The manager and his team were extremely helpful and nothing was any trouble for them. Theres an amazing choice of great quality beers. I was driving, but I wish I'd tried a few. I would strongly recommend this pub to anybody. Thanks again.

We were staying local so this was our stop for either a drink or for evening meal the staff got to know us quite well so was nice to welcomed in as a local it seemed for the week we were in the area, the food was excellent, dog friendly although you either ate in the garden area or in the public bar area dogs not allowed in the restaurant , that was not a problem to us well done

Great food and fantastic staff. This country Inn is definitely worth a visit for food, drinks and relaxing. The bar and restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. The food arrived beautifully presented and with very little waiting time. We would go back anytime.

Lovely day though a little blowy but we decided to eat outside overlooking the countryside. We choose a ploughman's and lasagne, both delicious although we were very tempted by the fish pie (next time definitely!!). The only drawback for some people might be the steps up to the garden, but if you can manage them it's well worth it and there's a lovely play area for children. Dogs welcome also. The staff are brilliant and cheerful and we always look forward to coming here. Winter time it's best to book as it's a very popular pub. Parking is either on road but there is a small car parking area opposite but we usually manage to find somewhere. Highly recommend.

Very helpful and polite staff who assisted with my children’s new found vegan dietary requirements. Paper straws were available as were a plastic free family now. Excellent country pub that’s in touch with the new world! Highly recommended and we’ll be bringing our vegan community to visit very soon.

A warm welcome is extended to you from both staff and locals when you step into this lovely little Oldie Worldie country pub which has a lot of character about it.

Visited here with friends on a busy BH Monday afternoon. A good selection of local beers, plenty of choice from the menu and the specials board and a warm welcome from the staff was an excellent start. The food itself was very good with the fish pie packed full of tasty seafood and the other main courses equally tasty. Desserts followed with the raspberry pavlova taking the plaudits. The service was very good throughout and the bill was very reasonable given the quality of the food. Definitely recommended.

Nice oldie worldie pub, lovely, friendly staff but the food isn't up to much. None of us were impressed and after reading all the previous reviews we expected far better. Quite pricey too. I'm afraid the chef is letting this establishment down.

We were staying in a cottage atHome Farm cottages in Winscombe and the hosts recommended several places to eat, one of which was The New Inn.

The best Sunday roast I have eaten in North Somerset. The lamb was awesome, roast potatoes crispy and vegetables perfect. The Yorkshire pudding was HUGE. Gooseberry crumble with honey and ginger ice cream was the perfect finale. Real ales and decent cider too.

Good choice of good on offer, helpful and pleasant staff. Good atmosphere where many locals come to eat too.

Menu plus specials left us both with a difficult choice, so many nice options! Our meal was excellent.

When we saw the menu, we were a bit dubious- very traditional fare, and thought it may be a bit dull. How wrong were we...- lots of specials enlivened the menu; the slow roast pork was fabulous and the mushroom and Stilton tagliatelle was delicious, packed with lots of interesting mushrooms (def not run of the mill mushrooms!). Friendly staff and dog friendly too.
