The food and service were very good. The price was reasonable too. There are lots of places to sit both inside and outside. I am excited to revisit tomorrow for the World Cup match for England in the semi-finals!

A lovely local pub! I've been here numerous times with large groups, and the service has always been very friendly and fast, and the food has been of a high quality. Last time I had a delectable sticky toffee pudding, with a perfectly sticky sauce and wonderful texture.

Absolutely love the quiet charm of this place. It's like walking into a serene, unpretentious past and the sense of welcome is immediate. I've been to England twice and this was by far my favorite place to grab a pint and a home-cooked meal. Heck, even family dogs are welcome!

This is a really great pub. Had a great meal here on Saturday.

The pub is cosy and spacious at the same time. Lots of room for groups or parties whilst fine for couples or a drink by yourself. Quite a lot of space outside too.

The food was really good I had seabass with chips and veg. The fish was cooked beautifully and fell off the bone when I slid my knife through it. The chips were fluffy and the veg was again cooked really well (I don’t like a bite in my veg).

The staff were all super friendly and the place had a really good vibe. I would definitely go again. Great place.
