I’d always driven by this pub, thinking that I must go in there one day. I’m so glad that I did. It’s a beautiful location and the service is excellent. I was helped by a guy called Brendan, very pleasant and knowledgeable. I will return very soon and try something different on the menu, lots of amazing choices. Brendan did an excellent job with discussing the menu.
