Absolutely amazing meal tonight. Steak pie was beautiful but the macaroni was to die for.... I mean, THE best best I've ever tasted....ever!
Premises were immaculate and very welcoming as were the staff. Bonus is that's its pet friendly in the bar area and beer garden (where we ate) which has overhead heaters at each table. Just a lovely 5* visit :)
