We went for a midweek family lunch and having seen the menu before arriving, we were impressed with the range of choices which are often limited in other places and can only say that the quality of dishes more than delivered not only in taste but also in size for those that had the Lamb Shank. Loved the mushroom risotto as a starter which was also a healthy portion so really pleased an alternative was chosen to the lamb! The service was excellent, attentive whilst unobtrusive and pleasingly we were not rushed out of the door. Definitely a place to return to in the future.

We eat at quite a few decent pub restaurants and the food we had here was average and over priced. No better, no worse. We both had the chicken. It was slightly over cooked and there was little flavour to the sauce. I asked for chips instead of dauphinoise and if these were home made then I'm an astronaut. Overall, food was not even close to somewhere like the Old King's Head or Coach and Horses and a number of others. We had some white wine and whilst again a little over-priced, it was a nice bottle and would recommend (chenin-blanc). However, service was excellent.

Excellent, friendly and speedy service. We sat in the bar for lunch and all had starters and mains, the soup went down a treat which was cauliflower and brie that day! All the food was hot and well prepared, we look forward to returning very soon!
