We enjoyed our lunch on 4th November very much. Despite the current restrictions the service was warm and friendly. The food (as usual) was top quality and both the scotch egg and the fish &chip very yummy indeed!

Very well run pub. The whole experience - food, drink and staff were excellent. Felt safe with Covid security in place. Loved the Scoth Egg - runny centre with crisp outside - how is that done?!

Great place for lunch. Staff were very welcoming. Good choice of food at a reasonable price. Beautifully presented dishes. The fish cake with curry sauce was the nicest meal I have had for ages and the poached egg was perfectly cooked. Would happily eat there again when in the area and would definitely recommend it.

We call in whenever we are in the area. Not very often but always worth the trip.

Really good service, great tasting food, beautifully cooked and presented. We thought portions of most of the meals were somewhat small
