Sunday carvery provides a good choice of meats. Beef, pork and turkey were on offer with all the trimmings and good veg choice. The starters and sweets are optional extras. Staff are attentive too. The starters and mains were enough for us just before Christmas.

Went for Sunday roast. Very nice, although the potatoes were a bit solid and so our veggie had little other options.

Really friendly owners and staff. Super food, clean rooms. A little more information on the website for guests with dogs needed. But definitely will be back.

Amazing Sunday carvery. Food superb and staff so very friendly and attentive. Presentation of desserts was a work of art.
