We are pleased to be recognised as a family run pub with attentive friendly staff, something that repeatedly comes up on our reviews. Our aim is to provide good quality freshly produced food and at reasonable prices.

We are delighted our customers love the warm welcoming ambience of the pub and enjoy the traditional and slightly quirky decor.

The Farmer’s Sunday lunch always offers a choice of three meats, fresh vegetables and goose fat roast potatoes. We also offer a homemade vegetarian option and can cater for gluten free and other requirements, just ask us.

    Attended The Farmers for Sunday lunch. We enjoyed the Roast Dinner, my son enjoying the “All 3 roasts for an extra £2.50”. The Yorkshire puddings were huge! My husbands roast beef was a little tough. I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert of salted caramel sticky toffee pudding 😋. Our two whippets were made a fuss of by staff and guests, and had plenty of room to relax under the table.

    Nice pub and a very good Sunday lunch. Friendly service too. It is not a gastronomic pub so if you’re looking for something romantic or a more ‘luxurious’ feel you won’t get it here! But great for a group who just want excellent food and a good laugh!

    Three of us requiring a gluten free lunch we’re delighted to find a good choice on a well marked menu. The sticky toffee sweets were particularly enjoyed. Great to have a good varied choice of main courses unlike other pubs in the area. The service was friendly and meals good value. We will book again and recommend to our Airbnb guests
