Three of us had an evening meal with a couple of beers. Both food and drink were very good and reasonably priced. Very friendly service and nice atmosphere with spacious beer garden. We were lucky to be there on the night of their weekly pub quiz as well! Recommended.

Visit occasionally when staying with family nearby. Really like it here. The only irritation is that a burger is served on a TINY plate. There’s no room to manipulate. Especially if like me you sometimes use a knife and fork !! Please use bigger plates.

Great spot with lots of taps for a pint including the great Lucky Saint 0 alcohol beer. Super pub garden and lots of space for both big crews and cozy catch ups.
