Beautiful pub. Great location. Friendly staff. Let down by the calvery. Meat good but veg frozen and heated through so no flavour and not a great texture. Cauliflower cheese runny and not much cheese due to frozen cauliflower so limp flavourless. Real shame as could have been so much better. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
