The food here is superb. Cooked to perfection. Good strong flavours and decent portions. Yorkshire puds were crispy and soft in all the right places. The meat was tender and tasty. We had one slow cooked beef Sunday lunch, and one slow cooked pork Sunday lunch, with a side of cauliflower cheese. For dessert we had Creme Brulee. Just the one between us because the portions for the main were that good. It's a very attractive modern venue with a indoor and outdoor eating. A cosy traditional area and a conservatory which was full of natural light. The furnishings were smart and tasteful. Lively atmosphere. Was obviously a place to be. Popular. This venue really deserves full marks as a pub venue but for two small details. The plates on the marble tables, in the conservatory, kept slipping about. A little but funny to start but I wasn't certain my dinner wouldn't go flying. The other detail was the staff. They worked hard and were attentive but I barely saw a smile. Maybe it was a hard day.

Food excellent , Service Shocking. A long wait for drinks when they weren’t even really that busy and I suggest if there more than 2 of you not to bother going. The food however was excellent as mentioned Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

Came here after a hike and honestly didn’t expect the food to be that exceptional, but it was. Definitely will be coming back! Price per person: £10–20
