Lovely country pub, serving local beers. We have eaten here a few times, the venison and lamb are excellent. Great seating out the front and back to either watch the cricket or watch everyone go about their business. The staff are always friendly and happy to see dogs brought in.

Went to a special fish and seafood night last night. 7 course set “taster” menu. Although the place was packed, both the kitchen and front of house staff ran like a well oiled machine and produced superb food with a smile! …
