Been meaning to try out the dining here for a while. Well, the Sunday roast was quite frankly one of the best I’ve ever had. Gutted I hadn’t come here sooner. Not the cheapest but good quality food. I went for the greedy man special with every type of meat and all the trimmings. All the meats were cooked to perfection and a generous serving of sides. The staff are super helpful and attentive. Truly outstanding. My new roast go to. Well done.

Came on a Tuesday night where they have a great: 2 Burger meals for Β£25 deal. Otherwise was rather pricey as pubs go. Burgers were very nicely seasoned and fairly generous portions. Garden was clean and well looked after. Staff friendly. All around, a good experience.

Lovely pub. Huge outdoor area with seating area, play area and playing field. The waiter was really nice, managing quite a busy lunchtime mainly alone. We ordered the sourdough baguettes which were well presented and came with a lovely side salad and chips. My only grumble was that it was quite cold in the building and I ate with my coat on.

Lovely pub. We came to catch up with friends. 3 of us had delicious roasts with 1 in the group having the ploughman's. All plates cleared! Found room for dessert but only just as the portion size of cheesecake was large! Friendly service. Large car park. Reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Would definitely recommend this pub. Can't wait to return.

Myself and my friend came in last Saturday for food and drink. As we went to one pub and wasn’t sure on it. We were very welcomed to the pub a lovely lady that could have been the owner but not sure. She told us to take a seat and she will be over take drinks and she was over very quickly and we had starters and mains it was so good! We will come again soon! Xxx

Me and my partner stopped in here on Saturday at 12:30ish for a bite to eat, and what a gem we found. The people were lovely, it was decorated very well and the food was delicious and very filling. We had a sandwich and chips each plus the salad that comes with a sandwich and we were both very full and happy. It was a lucky dip as we were driving home but we both wished it was closer to our house as we would easily re visit every month. Our small dog was kept on his lead and sat under our table, it’s so cozy that it’s easy to access outdoor space if they need it.
