“ Nice treat for lunch. Great little pub, friendly staff, nice decor, very clean. Good selection of cask ales and lagers. Food delicious, all homemade and good sized portions. Ordered from the specials board, steak and kidney pudding and venison burger, both very tasty, good portions and real chips. Nice fresh salad with the burger. Will definitely be going back. Parking a bit tight on the car park and narrow road leading up to it to be aware of. Great local find. ”
