One of the best pubs in the area. Staff are always friendly and beer is decent. My only issue with the place is that it can sometimes be quite hard to get to the bar when people sit there, as the area is quite small. Look forward to returning.

Took advantage of a rare sunny Sunday afternoon to have a nice drive out into the country side for a carvery. Definitely worth the drive as the food, drink and service were all awesome! The pork was tender with a nice crispy crackling, and perfectly cooked veg on the side. Will definitely be having a few more drives out!
