"The Bluebell Pie was amazing! The beat steak and ale pie I've ever tasted! The Chicken, Leek and Ham pie was amazing too!
Friendly service and lovely atmosphere!"
Thomas Green
"Lovely food and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
We went here on a Saturday, and were able to call the same day to book a table. There was minimal wait to be seated, and the staff were friendly and prompt to take our order. The food was well-priced for the quality, and staff were accommodating with making substitutions. A strong selection of local beers available on tap too.
Will definitely visit again!"
Harry Bridge
"Very nice and welcoming local pub, the food is tasty and well presented. The staff is friendly, polite and helpful, committed to make your experience as pleasant as it can be. The only thing I would implement is the variety of plant based operations on the menu.."
