I have visited twice recently since it reopened and was really impressed.

I had been a little unsure about the fact that it was walk ins only and thought it might mean the pub was lackluster on covid controls but not at all. We all felt incredibly safe.

First visit was with friends and our babies for the Sunday roast and the staff were very helpful. Fast service and the nut roast wellington was excellent, with crispy roast potatoes which you hardly ever get out! We were delighted with what was our first meal out since July 2020.

I then went again with my baby and my parents on a Tuesday afternoon. Again, the staff were accommodating and kind. They let us order some food (excellent chips) even though we got there just as the kitchen was closing. We were under no pressure to leave and spent a lovely afternoon in their beer garden. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and provided me with warm water to heat up my baby's bottle.

All in all, highly recommended.

Dog friendly. Incredible food -we shared the steak platter and the veggie platter, both so flavourful, mouth watering. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Great food. Well known in the area for the "steak platter" an amazing dish, quality steak cooked perfectly.
A great selection of beers and good service make this pub a "must" to visit.

The steak platter is delicious, we ordered the steak rare and it was perfect with the fries, salad and cabbage with bacon. Restaurant is really cosy and there is a nice selection of drinks on the menu (the ciders and gins are great)! Would recommend booking a table in advance as it’s usually full but you can sit in the bar and have a drink whilst waiting. Vegan & veggie options are available.
