Hidden Gem Cracking pub with very nice modern mixed with old decor, went with Mrs and kids for Sunday lunch all plates empty, couldn't finish my Sunday dinner although it was beautiful I was stuffed, first time we'd been there, would definitely go again, very nice staff, who actually talked to you which is rare these days, a hidden Gem, wasn't over priced because of the quality and quantity 👍

Lovely food Nipped in a couple of times after walking our dog, always welcoming, friendly & clean. Decided to go for a meal with family for my son's 21st. Although there was a function on they were very helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. The best local place to eat in the area by far. Lovely staff, owner who cares about the place. Highly recommend .

Funeral wake Huge thanks to Sean and his staff for hosting our funeral wake for family and friends recently. Very helpful and welcoming and the chef came in specially on a Tuesday, when food isn't normally served, to provide a really good and varied selection of food. Would definitely visit again on a less sombre occasion.

Let down by poor reception We visited this pub for the first time after reading good reviews. We went to the bar and said we'd made a booking. The staff member took us to a table and made off without saying a word. There was no menu on the table and as it was our 1st time we were unsure how to order. We saw our table had a number on it so assumed we order at the bar. We scouted round for a menu and eventually ordered food and drinks. A really poor start to proceedings. The room was light and airy and well decorated. Food was OK. Service improved once we'd ordered.

Another enjoyable visit This is a lovely pub to visit for pretty decent pub grub. The manager/owner is very nice and makes a big effort. I recommend their fish and chips and their desserts are lovely too. Most of our party enjoyed their meals. My only slight criticism was my daughter's dessert waffle was burnt. We would visit again.

Bland, boring and burnt. Looks like a nice pub and the beer, J. W. Lees also gives that impression. Ordered the 8oz Burger with bacon, cheese and tangy sauce pluse herb salted fries. Good grief, I would have thought that burger would have been a relatively simple task. Not so, the burger was overcooked and dry, and the 'toasted bun' was still cold, probably from the fridge. Bland and unappetising and the herb fries were tasteless. The best part was the door out to the carpark.
