    This pub has outstanding food. The atmosphere was buzzy but not noisy. We had bar snacks to start, followed by starters, the Rarebit was delicious, mains, my burger was amazing, and the dessert, dark chocolate ganache, was also fantastic. I would recommend this pub to anyone looking for good quality locally sourced food. Jake the general manager was friendly, attentive and knowledgable about everything on the menu, including the wine menu.

    Superb choice for my 80th Birthday celebration. The chef even added an additional Happy Birthday desert. Having filmed numerous Food programmes for ITV, the whole team offer a highly professional service and take a great pride. Its a great example that no matter where the rural location is, if the ambience, food quality and staff, customers will always go the extra mile.
