A delicious lunch experience. Well cooked dishes, food presented piping hot. Charming hosts, who did their best to make our visit enjoyable. A lovely country pub with great ambiance. The only reason max stars not given, was because one guests dish was forgotten and one dish not served as requested.

A delight - no wonder it's busy! A lovely environment - very modern and clean, light and inviting. Very friendly and efficient staff, very good burgers and cake, excellent value and so so dog friendly with water, treats and even a dog walk on site. Plenty of parking - we will be back. Shame it's not closer otherwise I could go every week.

Water special find this place was a year ago. This is my fourth return visit and the food is absolutely excellent. Having gone with friends and not really knowing what to order from the menu we decided to just order random dishes as they come and share them and that seems to have been the best idea each time the squid dish is out of this world I think it has to be my favourite along with the aubergine(have converted three people that don’t like aubergines to really liking it). The staff are very attentive and helpful, and the whole evening is just special. Thank you.
