The Restaurant
Our main restaurant is modern with a lantern light ceiling which allows in plenty of natural light to flood in. A great piece of real architectural design. The restaurant boast some wonderful bespoke ironwork along with a vintage industrial feel . This restaurant offers a modern ambiance an ideal place to catch up with family and friends and enjoy our mouthwatering local dishes.

The Inn
The Inn is full of old world charm with little hidden nucks for dining. This restaurant is full of character and is used at lunch times primarily, but in the evenings, it offers a cosy ambiance lit by candle light ideal for a more casual approach to dining.

The Inn also offers an afternoon tea which is simply divine. Served between 2pm-5pm by prior bookings only.

The Bar and Snug is a relaxed and super cosy space sticking with the old charm of the Inn which this part of the building offers. It has an impressive wood burning stove and is dog friendly.

    Great meal …. Barnsley chop for one and beef stroganoff for the other, both very very good. Cheesy garlic bread shared to start and that was very nice, tasty and just enough to share without spoiling the main course. Like their olde worlde area best, it’s very cosy and intimate.

    Went today for lunch. Comprehensive menu. Staff friendly and checked in on us often making sure we were good. Lovely food, generous portions and hot. Had the roast of the day. Beautiful beef and fresh veg. Lots of desserts to choose from, we had apple and cinnamon crumble. Delicious coffee. We will definitely be back.
