Nestled in a cozy village, this charming pub offers a warm welcome and a festive atmosphere, particularly around Christmas. While many patrons appreciate the inviting decor and friendly service, culinary experiences vary. Diners rave about standout dishes like the Sunday roast and vegan options, alongside highlights such as sticky toffee pudding and Portuguese flaming chorizo. Conversely, some have encountered disappointments, particularly with soups and steaks that missed the mark on flavor and preparation. Despite these mixed reviews, the pub's commitment to local sourcing, dog-friendly policies, and a diverse menu make it a beloved spot worth visiting.

I've been to the Diggers Rest before, but this time I've been there on Easter day with my kids. The Sunday roast was amazing, my kids loved it as well. Our dessert was chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and again, it was amazing. Staff was friendly as before. Chef Gus even comes out to make sure that the customers are enjoying the food and that everything is good. Highly recommended!!!
