Really enjoyed our night here. Fabulous platters to share. Was lucky enough to get a walk up booking, just a short wait. Friendly and efficient service. Fabulous ambience.

Lovely place with a nice atmosphere. Decent selection of wines, though the food selection is somewhat lacking. Having heard of this place for its food (particularly the steak), there didn’t seem to be a particularly expansive menu, however as a pub it does well for drinks and such. Clean and well presented, however it is a little dark, and the signage on the door is unclear, which leads you to believe it’s closed even if it isn’t.

What a little find. It's a bit out of the way but food, drinks and service all awesome. We had a big table and all the food was lovely and out at the same time. Good beer options as well! Most of us went for the shared steak plate (see photo) and I can confirm the 2/3 person one is perfect for 2.

So many people have commented on the steak platter already, so let's just say that the chips and cabbage with bacon on that platter are also fab! Staff was wonderful! We called in at 2pm on a sunny Saturday and got lucky. They looked after us and brought the food for our youngest out straight away while we waited for the steak platter. We will return!

Went here on a Sunday for a carvery. Had good reviews. You can not book a table, and it opens at 12pm, so we arrived 11.50 so we were there when it opened to get a table. When we arrived there was already a queue outside. We managed to get a table. Had to keep my coat on for a while as it was cold, this was partly due to the door being open letting the long queue of people in. Lovely decor inside, friendly staff, food was ok. We ordered the chicken to share, one pork and one beef. These best thing about the food was the roast potatoes. We waited ages for the bill at the end also, despite asking 3 times. I didn't feel the food and whole experience lived up to the reviews. Was a nice meal out but nothing that stood out for us to make us rush back.
