Was a great pub lunch! Although the chicken roast was so small! It felt like they shared the chicken out between 3 dishes. One person from our party literally had less than a 1/4 chicken.

We quite often visit here, either just the two of us or with the family. This pub is lovely, nice gardens and very good food. The pub is always busy which is the price you pay for a good experience. The staff today worked very hard as the heat was 0verwhelming. always a good welcome and nice atmosphere.

Stopped off for a pint and a glass of wine. Plenty of choice and well kept beer. Nice outside space to sit in the sun and enjoy, which we did. Will drop in again.
