Very reasonable pricing at just over 300 for 5 people, 3 starters, 5 mains, 5 deserts, 9 drinks including 2 pints and w wines. The food was amazing! Very fast service and frequent service, never had to wait to try and catch someone, honestly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had, the lamb roast was outstanding. Very generous servings, more traditional offerings with amazing quality and a slightly modern twist, something for everyone on the menu. Will definitely be back!

Ethan was a lovely bloke and so inviting, made us feel welcome all night. The place has a great old school pub vibe to it which a lot of pubs don’t these days, plus two pool tables which is rare as you are lucky to find one at most pubs nowadays. All in all a great pub and experience, will definitely be back again!! Lots of love, Tynan & Julz xx
