The White Horse Holme in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Very disappointed, menu very limited no vegan friendly choices.... When we mentioned this to the server she said they had vegan choices but it was on a menu separate...!?!!! Why?? We as a group found this so weird... So not everyone gets this choice? Why keep these options separate ? Where is the inclusiveness? We had tenderstem with walnuts as one of our limited options.... Guess what we noticed... No staff mentioned this but no walnuts... So we pointed this out and were told yes they'd run out of them!!! So we shall visit for a drink as beautiful gardens and beer but will wait for a new menu..... Sorry

Excellent. Staff were great, setting and decor are fabulous. The sandwiches are on the large size so go with an appetite.

We came to have lunch here but felt ignored at the bar while one of the staff chatted to another customer, and then when another woman came behind the bar she took my order without any acknowledgement or friendliness. I asked for menus but she rang up the drinks without asking if I wanted to open a tab (maybe they don't do that in case you run off!). It was probably for the best as, after looking at the menu and not feeling welcome we decided to go elsewhere and spend our money. Shame about the experience but the garden is nice.

We dine here regularly it is consistently good and always improving. Tonight we had cod cheeks , mackerel, chermula, a prawn, tomato and Wighton cheese special and a great pie, with both types of potato and tenderstem brocoli. This was followed by pear and plum trifle and grilled pineapple and a cherry sorbet. This was tremendous. In addition the draught Adams Easeup was superbly kept slightly chilled and one of the nicest pints I have had for years, and I drink a lot of beer!.

We've visited this place on many occasions when we've dropped into Hunstanton and surrounding places alike, and weve always enjoyed it here. We were very surprised at the make over they've had outside, really has made the place better. On the flip side, service was a bit slow on the bar side of things. Only one person on the bar and the queue was nearly out the front door. Bar tender didn't know how to do an aperol spritz, so we waited until some who did know to serve us. I had a pint of Amstel, wasn't the coldest in fairness. We were restricted to sandwiches, food wise, after 2.30, so we gave it a miss, but thats all you get if you order one...Just a sandwich, no garnish, no side salad etc, just that. Which I feel can be improved on...and they're £10+! Great outdoor area for the kids. Little bit disappointed this time but I'd visit again because we like this little gem.

Attractive pub. Plenty of well maintained outdoor seating in the sun. Only had drinks this time but will be back for food which looked great. Decent size car park.

We gave been here a couple of times now - for a casual lunch and then for Sunday lunch. A really good new find and great to see this lovely pub open again and seemingly doing well. Sunday lunch was good - probably better if we had been in the first sitting as the meat was not very pink and the potatoes felt jaded. Very busy and we weren't offered tea or coffee - it felt like a bit of a production line. However, still a good visit and lovely puddings.

Photos don't do it justice ... fabulous all round, food, service, candles!! Love what you've done with the place, will be back...lots!!

Had not realised that the pub was under new management and had undergone a transformation, nothing wrong with how it was! But now WOW!!!! Very welcoming, food and dessert fantastic, dog friendly throughout - 10/10

We went for lunch today and it was really great from start to finish. We were greated by a lovely guy who seates us and also took our order. Very personable and smiley with a good personality. The menu was impressive and variable. The food was excellent, nicely seasoned, presented well and very very tasty. Great service from all the staff. We will be back. Please keep doing what you're doing, it's great.

Lovely food. Customer service very good. One lunch time we had to wait over an hour for our food - very busy!

What a hospitable team. We arrived at 11 am (a touch early) and were let in and made to feel welcome rather than a nuisance. Good food, service and atmosphere. Sam n Julie and Monty Dog. We're back after the refurbishment and wow. Excellent

Such a great place to bring friends. We loved sharing starters, mains AND desserts. Maria was incredible and answered all of our questions without hesitation. She’s an asset. The food was great too 😊

Fabulous food and great atmosphere

New owners have transformed this pub . It’s excellent now. Hard to fault this pub. Lively food and menu. Great wines. Extremely good staff and friendly service. Great ambience. Dog friendly. Can’t wait for new bakery and coffee shop to open in Spring 2025.

Amazing food and phenomenal service. We can’t praise The White Horse enough. Fabulous surroundings as well! Thank you

We ate here as a family of 6. The pub was very busy & our waitress was very hassled. The food was a huge disappointment to all, the plaice when the head was removed was swimming in blood, the pork chop gave me chronic indigestion. Very disappointing evening, will definitely not be returning.

A very nice pub. We are going to eat but 2 of our party are vegetarian and there wasn't much for them to order. Great for drinks though.

Recently renovated and done well. Lots of separate areas, nice outdoor seating and good size car park. Menu good and the food well cooked. Staff excellent.

Recently tastefully refurbished ,new outdoor garden plenty of tables with a children’s play area ,large heated umbrella .Great menu good food and real ales

Walked from Thornham to Holme for lunch here which was excellent. Great friendly service. Meals were cooked to perfection.

Unfortunately another pub that has gone down the trendy route to appeal to the tourists not the locals, food very expensive not that you get much, you have to order extra dishes to make a meal, drinks expensive too, pint of Guinness £6.50, I’ve had better pub meals for less than half the price, a case of style over substance, very few proper pubs left in this part of Norfolk now.

Lovely country pub, recently renovated with an excellent pub garden and nice play area for kids. Great food and reasonable prices. Fire pit and petanque are really nice additions too!

we went to this pub/resturant for the first time whilst travelling the coast road and fancied something to eat. Fortunatley we were lucky to get a table outside as it was busy but it didnt feel overly busy. Staff friendly and polite and the food was a very high standard without the inflated prices. In a nutshell my wife and two daughters both loved it and so we went again 2 days later having booked the restuarant and it was again exceptional. highly recommend and will defiantley be returning

As we live local this is the second visit, have to say very impressed, Megan is a true asset, the service, food and beer and wine exceptional and good value, will be visiting more often as the area becomes more quiet, thank you

Really sad to see this place has changed hands, have been looking forward to going back to my favourite restaurant for months now as not local and have now decided not to go. Having 2 older children, eating out as a family of 4 can be expensive. The honest home cooked menu, portions and pricing were a rare and welcome thing in this area and we never had a bad meal. Loved this place so much. Sadly this is no more and the menu now looks to be in the same zone as many other expensive gastro pubs in the area. Really disappointing. Rating based on menu only (choices and price) in comparison to how it used to be as have not visited in its current incarnation.

Dogs friendly, their open area is spacious and it is very nice to enjoy the food under the sun. Sandwiches are delicious!

What a lovely dog friendly pub. Quite a gem… we will come again.

Really enjoyed our afternoon here. Will definitely visit again.

Newly refurbished, excellent food, must visit if in the area

Lovely little village pub. Very busy but expected on a Sunday afternoon with the sun out. Great for families with a play area and lawn games. Food was very tasty, everyone enjoyed it, including the kids. We had a mix of a Roast, sharing plates and kids menu items. Service was friendly but slightly lacking, asked for extra water on the table that didn't arrive, kids burgers were eaten before their chips arrived and asked for sauce which took a long while to arrive. Probably just due to the volume of customers, as all servers were lovely and friendly.

It's been Norfolkised so it's gone from a quaint pub to a busy, kids very friendly, bistro, but sometimes that's what you've got to do to survive.....

Food was good but the wait for it excessive and no one came to tell us why it was taking so long or to apologise . Lovely setting nice interior and a great garden

This hidden gem is just amazing, particularly for parents. Huge beer garden with a nice new play area. Beautiful old buildings tastefully refreshed. The food and service are exemplary with high quality local ingredients. The kids menu is unpretentious and expertly prepared. Everyone left satisfied and relaxed, no upset children and the bill was reasonable. Highly recommended!

Excellent meal.Staff lovely.Will be visting again.

Visited here this afternoon for lunch.Food was fantastic enjoyed every morsel. Best meal so far this holiday.Can recommend Cod Cheek Scampi and the cromer Crab.

We really enjoyed our meal at the White Horse at the weekend. There's a nice and varied menu. Interestingly the message on the menu is all about sharing so I think they are wanting it to a bit like tapas rather than individual meals for each person. But basically there are starters, main courses and desserts! Our meals were all well-presented, good quality and tasty. We got a warm welcome on arrival, and had super friendly service from all the staff, with a special mention for our waitress Elisa! Prices were pretty reasonable too. And despite being full, the restaurant was not at all noisy, because it's broken up into smaller areas. All round, a 5-star place to eat.

1st time here in ages only thing I can say is fantastic , seems like loads of work has gone in to the refurbishment and staffing and as for the food this restaurant can hold it’s head high along the coast because you can rival anyone else with the choice and standard of food .

Only had a drink , as the menu on their Web site wasn't the one given to us on our visit, so I couldn't have what I'd seen.

My neighbour and I visited on the off chance and discovered that it was "Curry Night" so one of us had the lamb and the other the prawn - both of which were very good. We then decided to have the cheese for dessert which was priced at £9 each. We were so shocked by the size of the portion (like 2 postage stamps) that we felt we had to raise it with the server. He was sympathetic and said that he would pass it up the line. We're local and we want the pub to do well. The outside modifications have been done really well - and the new garden area is particularly nice. However, the paltry serving of cheese has grated (forgive the pun). We joked afterwards that we should have had the cheeseburger (priced reasonably at £10) without the burger or the bread. At least we'd have got more cheese.

Wonderful place, extensive menu (including for vegans / vegetarians), great value for money, great portion sizes and wonderful food. Just wish it was closer than 300 miles away.

Firstly, the exterior looks fantastic - the refurbishment is excellent. However, our visit last night with friends was a huge disappointment. The service was slow and chaotic. I understand the pub has only recently opened, so I hope these are just teething problems that will improve over time. The food, on the other hand, was very disappointing. I have never had a burger served on a side plate before. It looked small and was the most underwhelming burger I’ve ever had, with just one small piece of lettuce and no side garnish. The burger alone was £13.50, and a modest portion of chips cost an additional £3.80. It was under seasoned and unimpressive. When we left, the general consensus was that it was all fur coat and no knickers. I really hope the reviews are read and taken to heart because the place has potential, but I won't be going back anytime soon.

Such a pretty venue especially of a night time! Food was ok, although did take a while despite not being overly busy. Unfortunately front of house staff seemed quite hostile / short with their answers to our whole group from arrival which didn’t make a pleasant atmosphere. Was hoping this may be a one off, but also over heard other diners being spoken to like this as-well, so I will not be rushing to return.

Had a wonderful lunch here today. The food was truly delicious and the staff were wonderful very smiley and helpful.. Thank you so much

Revamped village pub. New menu including a selection of vegan options. Sat outside and ordered small plates of vegan starters and side dishes. All presented well. We had focaccia with rapeseed oil, broccoli with walnuts and grains with peas and beans. Good selection of hot drinks, oat and soya milk available. Busy when we visited, plenty of parking and seating inside and out.Dog friendly.

Excellent pub, recently refurbished in lovely village. Dropped in food amazing, better than usual pub fayre more what you would expect in good restaurant. Likewise veg and potatoes are extra which has benefit of choice. But still good food with drink for £25 pp. Only minor issue is coffee was not as hot as it could have been.

Recently refurbed. Looks like a lot of money gone on the outside area, indoors felt a bit unfinished in places. Decent but unremarkable food, but not overpriced.

Our first visit to the newly renovated White Horse exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly, welcoming and very efficient, we were so well looked after. The food was absolutely delicious, we really enjoyed the different experience of having several small dishes to share. The Tiramisu pudding was the best my wife has ever had. All round 5 star experience we will definitely return.

So, in the week we were away, we ate twice, once Sunday evening and then again on Friday night. Both evenings the specials were the exact same; which was poor. Sunday roast the YP was dry and almost inedible, and bizarrely the burgers, (served on a side plate) did not come with fries, which is akin to the roast beef without a Yorkshire Pudding; in this instance, that would have been most welcome. Friday night we sat outside in the garden; the service was poor really. Food was bought along, but no cutlery. The King Prawns were good, but no finger bowl was available, which was annoying. No-one came and cleared the plates, so we went in search of puddings ourselves. When the dessert and cheese arrived, still the dirty plates remained. All in all, the portions were too small; two miserly slices of cheese for £8.50 was an absolute con. Too many of the main courses were just that; no vegetables or potatoes included, which is a cheap trick. The staff were pleasant, but no leadership or training was apparent. Given for the four of us, for two meals, we spent a whisker away from £300.00, this does not represent any sort of value for money. It needs to up it's game to be considered a destination pub, otherwise it will have a reputation of over priced meals, on small plates, with no extras.

Stunning spot in the heart of the Norfolk coast.... the garden has you feeling like you are in the gardens of a Provence village! Honestly stunning. Food was amazing.... the skate was more than enough for 2! Service impeccable Clinton and his team really took care of us and we couldn't have picked a better place to have a lazy Saturday afternoon and evening. If you want exceptional service food and atmosphere, go to this beautiful pub!!!!

Lovely refurbishment inside and out. We went for Sunday lunch on a sunny day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was perfection (best roast spuds for miles) and the service was top rate, even though it was very busy. We will definitely be back.

Lovely renovations to the outside space, I was really looking forward to our meal and having a local place to eat out in the Summer. Unfortunately the menu only disappointed us, the main ‘courses’ seem to in fact be stand alone items without accompaniments cheeseburger on a side plate no salad/onion rings etc. Chicken and leek pie arrived once again lonely on a side plate no veg/mash/new potatoes etc. Had we been aware when ordering we would have ordered veg,new potatoes etc not what I expect for an evening meal I’m afraid. Maybe the staff could ask if you would like anything with your PIE this would then highlight nature if the menu and upsell veg etc? And to top it off a very sharp bone made itself apparent during eating my pie. All round disappointing experience 😔

Here we are again; another village pub with good meals at sensible prices and loved by locals has been taken over by a chain in order to make money out of the visitors. We decided not to eat here, since it seems the idea is to pick lots of ‘small plates’ which will add up to an eye watering price. Who wants to go and order one sausage for £4? The ‘sharing’ is all meant to be “embodying the Norfolk community spirit”. Actually, NFN is not to share, with visitors anyhow. We used to eat here regularly but won’t now. Another place off the list for those of us who live here and would support out of season too, if there was something reasonably priced on offer.

Over priced for regular pub grub and even overcharged me. Not the best experience,

The pub looks fabulous now that it's been renovated! The car park, beer garden gardens look beautiful 😍 interior has had a lovely refresh! Service isn't quite there yet. It could do with a bit more of a warm, welcoming, with a smile/taking an interest. But I'm sure they'll get there! Bar service was a bit slow. Paying by cash was a bit problematic. I was asked how I was paying... I said "cash if that's ok?" (Spotting there was an issue with previous customers paying by cash). Bar maid said "yes that's fine, but I might not be able to give you all your change." I think that probably could have been handled better. "I'm struggling for change but I'll do my best" would have come across more helpful. The wine was lovely, though, and it was great to see the beer garden busy on a Wednesday afternoon. Will be back soon to try out the food, and see how the service is then. Brilliant job on the refurbishment.

Although we only had a shepherds pie which was presented well. There were very few veg. We asked for a small jug of gravy, and it was small, but we had to pay extra for it! The drinks were also expensive. The pub has been refurbished well, looks good. However. With prices like that we cannot afford to return. But for those who have a bit more cash. Worth a visit.

Norfolk has just got itself a new culinary star. Visited for first time since refurb and my word it was good. The decor has been done beautifully but the star is the food. I’m a meat eater who normally sees veg as the side show but the courgette starter was incredible and the side of broccoli off the scale for taste. Added to which very good staff team. Fantastic work!

Food is quite tasty, very over priced, when I asked for the bill we had other items added which we didn't order which was then corrected and finally I paid the bill but gave only the bill not including the service charge and I was then chased by the waitress from the pub in the carpark stating I hadn't paid the bill in full to which I explained i have paid the amount just not paying your service charge she was rather embarrassed 😀. Oh and if you would like to pay £17 for 4 king prawns then go for it.

We had a very pleasant experience, throughout our visit , excellent food well presented, by a smiling very helpful staff, well done all thank you,

Very well refurbished pub. Very popular and busy. A real buzz today on a Sunday . However, we went for food but back tracked when we saw the prices. Veg with a main meal extra? No thank you! We just stuck to crisps

A beautiful pub! We had a large table of 11 booked for this evening, with lots of dietary requirements, and the service and food was absolutely amazing. Very grateful for all of the team for making our chaotic family birthday dinner so special. Would definitely eat here again! Highly recommend.

Liked that the pub restaurant has kept similar, food 100% better, but kitchen didn't quite get delivery together, a bit slow on keeping foods together. Forgot my salad but was on the bill. Prawns over the top on spice Needs tweeking. Overall staff brilliant, prices good. Could do with making it a little too much upmarket, people need substantionl food Maybe good onl fashioned english food. Like steak pie, and chicken dishes. Alongside what uou do.

Food and drinks very good but adults need large plates not kides ones when sharing

I had dressed crab, although the crab was very good, the presentation was not! I had to ask for a piece of lemon! There was nothing on the plate to make it look attractive!

Beautiful place to visit, excellent service & dog friendly

Sunday lunch yesterday - a very good experience in this beautifully refurbished pub in a delightful location. Have we found a ‘Duck’ replacement at last? Well, the food was certainly up to scratch, no reheated roasts or Yorkshires, all freshly cooked and the beef was perfect. Why not 5? Well it was disappointing that the fish, plaice, came without any veg to accompany it. The powers that be need to review this stingy decision in my humble opinion, so I chose the beef which was excellent value. Looking forward to another visit and fingers crossed!

We went to our favourite place in Norfolk to find it had changed. The refurbishment was beautifully done. BUT the menu and prices had changed which I understand price increase but not if it doesn't match when the quality of food. It was very disappointing food.. Burnt cabbage on the roast, undercooked carrots and the Burger was £20 and had to order chips extra £4. The burger wasn't garnished and stuck in the middle of the plate.

Delicious food but tiny portion of mushroom gnocchi - main course was like a starter and cost £15. Celeriac burger was more like a roll than a full meal.

Terrible and very disappointing. Having been excited by the renovations and being taken over by the same owners of the white horse in Brancaster where we go twice a week. Very upset by our experience. First no dog free zones, although when we went no dog there, but about the customers. The menu was confusing as the numbers on the side were the prices but no pound sign so had to ask. Asked what came with the dishes as nothing stated. Told we had to pick from the list. Both went for the whole place tartare butter sauce with a side of fries. Half a hour later it arrived. The place was swimming in sauce and there was sapphire and another green which we didn’t order and didn’t want. There was so much sauce on the plate when you tried to gentle remove the head and fins the sauce fell of the plate and when lifting of the flesh it swam in space and all you could taste was sauce. So we didn’t eat it. The ships were fine but a very small portion for £3.80 the Place was £24. A beautiful fish totally ruined. Suggest the sauce is served on the side so you can have how much you like. Service poor, no one asked if everything alright with the meal. We asked for the bill and told the waitress it was disgusting initially she smiled until she realised e were serious. She cam with the bill of £76.58 which she included £6.96 which I would think out of curiosity she would have removed if nothing else. She did offer a complimentary coffee but we could get out there quick enough. Such a shame as so much has been done to make the place look lovely with the refurbishments. Would be nice if the food matched it. Also need new cutlery as the old looks like it has seen better days and some fish knives. Very disappointed and will never go back. Do not recommend.

Food very poor, had a cheese burger and the best thing about it was the ketchup. Tasteless, no seasoning. The burger came with no salad or fries as standard. My partner had a ploughman's and it was very poor value for money. Service good, beer garden really nice shame about the food. Would never go back for food.

Cheeseburger came with one piece of limp lettuce only, no tomato, no pickle, no sauce, fries as with all other extras available at additional cost. Over priced.

Would recommend with confidence.

Well now, this new pub in the Anglian Inn chain is only just opened and so we hadn't been here before (unlike the rest of their pubs which we go to a lot). Unfortunately it seems that they are still working through the opening. We visited end of June '24 after it opened in May '24. Booked in for 6pm on a Sunday, to be told on arrival that the kitchen should close but they would keep it open (i.e. get a move on!). Different menu to online, fine, but hadn't been told on booking that there was a separate Sunday one. Most dishes were sold out as it had been a nice day. Weren't told this on being handed the menus. Roast Beef was very fatty and stringy - not helped by only having what we're like butter knives to eat with. Three roast potatoes was a bit mean. Burgers were tasty, but beware, you have to order chips/potatoes separately. No atmosphere. Staff wanted to finish - maybe change the online details if service times and those outside the premises? I really hope they turn it around. The building and garden, although not finished, look reasonable.

We sat in the newly renovated garden, ordered an array of dishes from the smaller, larger and sharing plates and our experience was without a doubt exceptional. Food was delicious, service warm and atmosphere was welcoming. Well done all, excited to return

Really enjoyed our first meal under new ownership

The place had just reopened a week or so prior to my visit after a refurb and although the car park was still a work in progress it was coming along enough to see the whole site will be very nice and neat once finished. I only went for a pint or two so cannot comment on the food side but the two real ales on offer were decent and well kept. The bar area felt tidy and smart and while quiet on the evening we attended I imagine the arrangement of the seating would create a good atmosphere when busy, especially if it was filled with the locals.

What a change. The pub has been completely refurbished the restaurant looks amazing. Great staff and the garden has been transformed to a beautiful area to sit, eat, drink and be merry.

We wandered in on the first ‘soft opening’ night under new management and ownership and four of us were made very welcome we had a really lovely evening. The food and service was superb and they have clearly recruited well in all areas. 👏👏 The lovely new garden is almost complete and a new large car park well on its way to completing an amazing transformation. Thank you White Horse team 🙏 We will be back very soon.

Only went in for a drink which was good . Will head back for lunch sometime as menu looked decent.

The bar man/ person serving could barely make eye contact let alone be pleasant. Poor. I believe their profession is hospitality. However, you would think as a customer you were their inconvenience.

Enjoyed the festive menu, vegan friendly dish was good as was the dairy free dish. Will visit again.

Called in as a half way point on our walk. Made very welcome with our dog had a great bowl of fresh local muscles all delicious! Despite some bad reviews this visit did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations.

Good food and very friendly. Definitely will return.

The Sunday roast was magnificent!! The beef so tender and the vegetables so tasty. Lovely roast potatoes! The waiting staff friendly and attentive.

Spent a week in the village and despite some poor reviews we thought we would give the pub a go.Thank goodness we did as we found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating.also very good for dogs.we ate here most days and found the food and service to be very goo

Fabulous Sunday lunch . Lovely atmosphere have been a few games now due to it being dog friendly. The food is always top notch.

We went here as a family with high expectations. The menu is good and the prices very reasonable. However, my husbands liver was so tough he couldn't cut it with the knife and when we mentioned this the response was 'I'll mention it to the chef'. Most of it was left on the plate. The pizza was average. My mussels were lovely I must say. My daughter paid in cash (and we realised later we were overcharged) but as we walked out the barman (landlord??) came up behind us and said really loudly 'are you going to pay for your food?' It was embarrassing! I assured him we had and offered to come back in so he could check but then the waitress said we had and hadn't cleared the till .....no apology offered. Sorry, won't be back

Rude staff and average food. Very unwelcoming to children despite the massive playground in the front garden.

Very good food. Great staff and great facilities. Great pub!

We went twice in September and both times the service was excellent and the food was delicious

Only 4* simply because we visited specifically for the mussels, and they'd sold out, so we had the squid and the whitebait instead, and they were tasty and very fresh. The service was excellent, even though they were getting very busy as always.

We were staying in the village in a lovely cottage across the road from The White Horse. We visited as a family, the food was excellent and so was the service. Very friendly staff and the music was spot on! Just wish that there were more pubs like the White horse.

As always, excellent meal and service. Always a great stop for food. Would highly recommend. Love this place.

Good range of pub grub reasonably priced. Efficient, friendly service although the pub was quiet. Background music was from our era but not intrusive.

Amazing food, great staff! Will visit again,!

Visiting family in Hunstanton and wanted to try somewhere different. A little old fashioned and slightly uncomfortable seats but otherwise a quaint traditional pub. Nice food, good sized portions so reasonable value for money. Unfortunately a couple of dishes we chose weren’t available but alternatives were nice

Have been really lucky with this pub. Warm comfortable restaurant, we were made to feel welcome. I don't drink alcohol so to find that they had a small but drinkable option was a relief. If I was to be honest, more choice would be nice. Recommend st peters without gold.0.0 (please) My wife and I had home made steak and ale pie with chips peas and a gravy boat of gravy. Absolutely stunning. Linda's eyes nearly popped out of her head at the size of this pastry clad beauty. Delicious to the last bite, with tender big chunks of beef in a rich full flavoured definitely slept flavoured sauce. We are both pie enthusiasts, and this one lives in pie heaven. We only found this hidden gem by accident, but what a stroke of good luck. Clean and pleasant with a truly old fashioned detail to quality and service.

We went for a late lunch at 2:30. Absolutely appalling ! The staff seemed to be tired and fed up. I had chowder which tasted sour and off with little or no fish, and my husband had scampi, the chips were very over cooked and inedible they tasted of old cooking oil. I had a glass of white wine which was supposed to be Sauvignon blanc, it tasted oxygenated and old! I wrote to the pub afterwards by email to complain and have had no response.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Good staff, service and food.

Nice beer garden with a large open-sided marquee (needed as it was very hot that day). Good food and beer at reasonable prices. Great service. Dog friendly - nearly everybody in the garden had a dog
