The food was very tasty and generous portions at a reasonable price. The pub is very 'tired' and cold. Friendly service.

Lovely nibbles to share (onion bhajis especially great, whitebait tasty and generous portion). Mains were excellent in terms of taste, range, well cooked etc. Only downside was the sea bream fish fillet - portion was on the small side (not really made up for by the masses of potato salad it came with)! By contrast the pie and mash was enormous! One of group had pork belly which was the most formal sized dish at the table and said that was really tasty. All were delicious. We overdid the nibbles and hadn’t got room for dessert but the selection was tempting. Staff were young and not the most “on it” (asked for bill twice), but were polite and friendly, food came hot and fresh, and the atmosphere was relaxed pub environment with very good food.
