Went for a meal to celebrate wedding anniversary. Always thought it was dog friendly - not so. We had to sit outside to eat. Weather was OK but windy so food tends to get cold quickly. Not the same as it was 10 yrs ago. Staff not over enthusiastic. Waitress was great but guy standing in the door was not that welcoming.

If you're reading this and thinking about visiting, just do it! You won't be disappointed. Amazing pub, amazing food and amazing staff! We popped in for dinner and found the pub to be very busy with a wedding reception, hence we were informed that there were only tables outside. We requested if a table became free could we move inside as it was a bit chilly outside for our children. We were told that there were several people waiting, however very soon the kind lady came outside and found us in the large garden - she managed to find us a table inside. Menus very good, something for everyone.

Food was top notch! We all really enjoyed our meals. Service was great, upon receiving meals we were asked if we wanted any sauces or anything else and our requests were completed quickly. Lovely setting with lots of local history and interesting bits and bobs on the walls. Only criticism is that it was very busy, but then that's got to be expected with such a brilliant place!

Dinner with Friends. This seems a popular place for drinks and evening entertainment generally. We are here on a week's break and booked in for a meal. We could only have a table at 6.15, but we did notice 4 other unused tables through to our departure time which we thought strange. Service was good, we all ordered Fish and Chips served with salad and we requested peas. Large portions reasonably priced.
