Always a great place to eat. Family run business and the whole experience is 10/10. Can't wait to go back.

Went there for a Tuesday night birthday celebration. This old village public house has a cosy atmosphere and attentive staff but best of all was the food. No complaints from carnivores or vegetarians and everything got eaten, though vegans may of been disappointed with the menu. Lots of compliments about the house red as well, could do with a decent ale/beer on tap for those that don't love lager but otherwise couldn't fault it.
