What a lovely find for lunch en-route to Dartmouth, well worth the little detour. We shared the steak sandwich, which came with chunky chips (my husband snaffled those) and home made coleslaw (mine). delicious. Only one thing that caused a niggle, the drinks were very slow in coming, but having said that there was only one person on the bar - they could have done with two as it was busy. My husband's beer was cloudy and had to be changed - pity it wasn't spotted. But all in all, we would recomnend and will certainly stop again when we're down that way.
