It's quite charming and cozy, but I was very disappointed to learn that they do not make any of their baked goods or cakes in-house. Aside from some sandwiches, everything else is purchased from external sources. It's a shame that a quaint place like this isn't baking their own bread and cakes. They advertise their food as homemade, but I guess they mean someone else's home. Disappointing.

Such a friendly place no matter what age you are. I cant wait to try their afternoon tea, have seen it go by on previous visits and looks so inviting. The prices are spot on. A real gem in the town.

Amazing crackling with the scrummy pork, the beef was tender and tasty. Too many Yorkshire puddings, mountains of vegetables and crisp hot roast potatoes. Endless gravy and sauces. We took our wine as Shelby doesn't have a licence yet. Strawberrys and cream was fresh and rounded off a lovely meal. We sat in the private courtyard. Allowing for social distancing. A lovely evening. Thoroughly recommended.
