I highly recommend this place for its great food and accommodating service, especially for families with kids and pets.

I was impressed with the quality of the food, especially the gammon and chips. The service was very attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a proper local pub, always clean and the bar staff are a friendly bunch. The food&#39;s solid, just what you want.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The staff are super friendly and it has that proper local pub vibe. Food came out fast, which is exactly what I needed. Good for a quick bite.

Popped in on a Wednesday. Sam, Millie, and the manager were just lovely. Noticed the little things, like checking in without hovering. Felt genuinely looked after, which is nice. Made the evening.

Lively spot, really enjoyed the live music on a Thursday night. The outdoor seating was packed but we found a spot inside. Good energy, felt like a proper local pub.

The Ploughman&#39;s lunch was solid. Generous slices of ham, a good chunk of cheese, and the baguette was fresh. Salad was crisp. Felt like a proper, filling meal for the price.

Came here with a few mates to catch the game. The beer garden is a decent size, good for a group. Drinks selection was solid, nothing crazy. It&#39;s a proper spot for a chilled afternoon with friends. Could do with a few more screens maybe, but we had a good time.

The ambiance in this restaurant is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Special thanks to Esther for her exceptional service!

The food at this pub is truly exceptional, with a great selection of dishes that are well-prepared and presented. It&#39;s clear that a lot of effort goes into sourcing quality ingredients.

The outdoor seating area at this pub is lovely, and the staff are very accommodating, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with your furry friends.

The bottomless brunch here is fantastic! Daisy was our server and she was incredibly attentive, ensuring our drinks were always topped up. We&#39;ll definitely be back with a larger group!
