I was staying at a charming B&B nearby and decided to dine at this restaurant on a Wednesday evening at 08:15. The outside appeared bustling and full of potential. A friendly ginger cat lounged by the entrance, adding to the ambiance. I was excited to try the food at this establishment. However, when I inquired about the last orders for food at the bar, the barmaid informed me that they were no longer serving. After expressing my surprise and disappointment, she reluctantly checked and allowed me to place a rushed order for a curry. Unfortunately, when the dish arrived, a fly landed on it, which epitomized my overall experience. In hindsight, I should have just purchased a meal from a supermarket and asked the B&B to heat it up for me. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant in the future.

Superb venue excellent meal, between us we had steak lasagne, hunters chicken, pate, garlic mushrooms and prawn, prawn cocktail, wish we had know how large the meals would be we would have skipped the starters and kept room for dessert. Fabulous home cooked range on offer, staff owners daughter) very attentive and welcoming to us on our first visit. Old charm pub no airs or graces just honest pub full of very nice people can't wait to move closer and make it my local, will bring the family on next visit.

Great lunch time menu, good portions and reasonably priced. Stuffed hearts mash, vegetable lasagne salad child's chips, sausage beans all good. Soft drinks prices are very good, friendly staff well worth a visit

Used to love this place but the last time we visited the place had gone downhill . Everything looks shabby and tired and the food is just terrible . Over cooked lush . It tastes like canteen food . The chef in stinking chefs whites standing outside smoking continuously doesn't help the place either . The only good thing about this pub now is the cat .
