Popped in for lunch over the summer and had a great lunch outdoors. Ham eggs and chips was excellent. Went back today for the early bird lunch and again had really good service, a lovely pint and great food. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Food is good with GF options available, ideal for a bright summer day when you can sit outside in the garden, as inside is so dark due to some bright spark painting the walls and ceiling dark green!! Vegetarian options: There are veggie options available Dietary restrictions: GF options available Parking: Carpark at the side Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5

Five of us ordered beer-battered fish and chips from the online menu, but when it arrived, the fish looked dark brown. I immediately mentioned it to the waitress, who explained that it was because it was made with gluten-free breadcrumbs. I told her we hadn't ordered gluten-free and wanted the beer-battered cod from the menu. She informed us that it was not available. The fish was disappointing and the attitude of the staff led us to remove the tip that had already been added to the bill. As we were leaving without ordering desserts, we were sarcastically told "Merry Christmas." We will not be returning or recommending this restaurant.

We had a fantastic table by the fire, with a friendly server who provided excellent service. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, ranging from £10 to £20 per person. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a 4 out of 5.
