Can't remember the name of dish but consisted of very thin chicked cooked to death in a leather like batter. Location & venue 5 star though. Couldn't recommend to friends for dining.In response to owners reply & after looking at online menu I think it was Katsu Burger on the 18th March mid-day.Regards.

Nice and friendly place definitely recommend it, it has a very relaxing feel to it, very busy little pub, staff were always on hand and very polite.

Very grateful for eating here today as manager first suggested restaurant was full but offered us a table if prepared to wait 20 minutes. I don't often get to enjoy a Sunday lunch so we waited.Restaurant bar area was little bit noisy and may put some people off. However we were near the bar and enterence.Food took a while to arrive but when it did, it was generous helpings. I chose the lamb and my mum eat the turkey. I think she was hungry as normally goes for half or small portions. There was plenty of veg and caul cheese was nicely gratinated, lamb soft and tender and turkey met with satisfaction. Gravy not to thin and Yorkshire Pudding good too.To finish not much room so we both shared ice-cream which was of a good standard.

Excellent place to eat. We were there for a family birthday 8 dinners in total Chicken very nice beef came two ways normal sliced roast beef or beef cooked to your liking very nice..turkey nice and cooked perfectly...the lamb was very tasty but as with lamb fatty my advice is ask what its like before you order...last but not least fish (haddock) chips white fish nicely cooked chips try them you will not be disappointed best batter in a long time ....

We went in for a bite to eat after a lovely walk, I opted for the fish finger sandwich, absolutely gorgeous! Menu looked amazing will be back!

Went to celebrate a 40th birthday. Good things first... Food excellent, staff pleasant & lovely room. Bad things......weren't allowed to put any photos on the wall and told to remove decorative foil confetti...goodness knows why. Lastly & more importantly, staff made a mistake with the drinks bill, and as the last person to leave was me, I was left to pay the bill of £119.80!! Manager was insistent it was correct and would not look to amend. Be warned.

·

Still ample car parking despite many areas of the large car park, including understandably the disabled parking bays, taken up by temporary outside seating due to COVID restrictions.Food and service excellent.

The food here was amazing! Went here with a few college mates today and was stunned by the variety of dishes available. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but they happily cater to those as well on their menu. The set lunch menu and bar snacks were all reasonably priced as well as drinks. Overall amazing experience!
