The staff were friendly, however the food we ordered was disappointing - just frozen chips, peas, and scampi. The soup was just average.

We have had the homemade steak and ale pie several times and I can honestly say it’s consistently the best I’ve ever eaten!

Great, friendly service demonstrated by the fact that they even put together the pie as a takeaway. Highly recommended. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
