AA Accredited - COVID-19 ConfidentWe are not a ‘fancy pants’ establishment. Not in the least. We offer good quality, home-cooked, locally sourced (where possible) food. 90% of our menu is made on the premises. Certainly not ‘Pub Grub’ but not ‘Gastro Pub’ either. It’s good value for money. However, our standards are high, very high. Not only in the quality of the food that comes into and leaves the kitchen but also in the presentation, the delivery to the table and overall customer service. We’re definitely not ‘Silver Service’ either but all of our staff are attentive, smartly dressed and will always go that extra mile wherever they can. These are just some of the reasons we were awarded the Taste of the West GOLD award in 2019. We are a dog friendly establishment, very dog friendly. However, please tell us at the time of booking so that we can place you in our Bar area , as opposed to our Restaurant.

Highly recommend. Excellent food - kf sea goujons, mussels great. Bouillabaisse, not what I think of as bouillabaisse (no saffron) but the best fish stew ever. Loved it. The fish pie was disappointing, but the chef agreed not up to standard and discount by 1/2 which was very fair and suggests normally it would be excellent too. How a place deals with a problem says a lot and these guys dealt with it well.
