I visited here a couple of weeks ago for Sunday lunch with family and really enjoyed it! I had the halloumi, which was served in a lovely light batter, to start, followed by the roast beef Both dishes were plentiful and delicious! We were given more than enough vegetables to accompany our roasts, but were told we could ask if we needed more. I chose the banana sponge with caramel custard from the special menu for dessert. This was really well presented and also delicious. The sponge was lovely and light, which was ideal after the roast! The rest of my party also enjoyed their meals, and the service was very good so we wouldn't hesitate to return.

My partner & I enjoyed a late Sunday lunch, one of the few places within a few miles that serve past 5pm! An absolute gem of a place, wonderful service and beautifully cosy atmosphere.

Special mention to Paul and Don who ensure the places runs like clockwork!

We will definitely back for quiz night!

Nice evening out. Service by Johnny very attentive. Good value for money. Menu has fish, steak and lamb etc so a reasonable choice .atmosphere nice . Worth a visit I would say if you want a reasonably priced meal nicely served with a varied choice. Maybe worth making a reservation as it does get quite busy especially at weekends and in summer........................

Visited this pub for a late lunch after a seven mile walk. Staff were very friendly - we arrive a little later than our booked time but that caused no problems. Seven of us ate and without exception gave the food top marks. Minor criticism was that service would have been considered slow had we been in a hurry - but we weren't and we rather enjoyed the un rushed experience.. Will definitely re-visit.

What a find this was one day after bouldering. Have now been a few times and never disappoints. Food choice is excellent, they change the 'ale' on a regular basis and the staff are just lovely. Combine this with allowing dogs in, having wood burners and a fab atmosphere what more do you need. Special thanks must go to Ryan who looked after us last night-top bloke!
