We didn't stay overnight, just went for a meal. The food is excellent, very tasty and perfect comfort food. Their 2 for £18 menu is fantastic; Mince & Dumplings, Liver & Bacon, Roast of the Day and more... just fabulous, wholesome food. The staff are wonderful. Very accommodating, nothing's a bother for them and they are always friendly and cheerful. The Moorings is a gem of a place and a great venue for meeting up with friends and family. Highly recommended!!
