This pub ticks all the right boxes for a high quality traditional pub. It's well decorated, very pleasant. The snacks and drinks are good and the barman spot on. But the prices are STEEP! Handed over a £20 for a couple of drinks and a...More

We came here with friends who have a two year old daughter. We were impressed by the friendly staff, who took a relaxed approach to a toddler somewhat disrupting proceedings (as toddler's tend to do). We ordered the Deer Spheres for starters, (of which there...More

An excellent Sunday lunch here today. Perfect roast beef, great starters and deserts, fabulous service and reasonably priced wine. Comfy seats and not rushed....we spent over 4 hours there. Highly recommended,

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekday meal. Good service and excellent food. Excellent cured salmon starters followed by venison schnitzel and hake with chorizo and potatoes. Then couldn't resist the sticky toffee pudding, and very glad that I didn't.
