    Friendly personal service in a lovely village pub setting. Complimented by a regularly updated menu made from locally sourced ingredients that reflect seasonal availability. An inspired twist on standard 'pub grub'. On the current menu 'The Piggy' is highly recommended! As always, an amazing job by Jeremy and team.

    Great meal, we were greeted with a smile and the staff were very friendly. Food was wonderful and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. It was our sons birthday so they bought out a happy birthday plate with dessert and also someone else was celebrating their birthday and the whole place sung happy birthday which was great.
