My husband enjoyed a delicious homemade venison pie with chunky chips, while I savored a tasty queen scallop cuckoo dish with a crispy pommes salad and zesty dressing. For dessert, I had rhubarb tea, sorbet, and a hidden cream. The food was all delicious, wholesome, and authentically prepared, and the staff were very friendly. I just wish this restaurant was closer to where I live.

Today we had lunch and drinks at this restaurant. We ordered the kids fish and chips, which were perfect - very fresh with the batter cooked just right. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, and also dog and child friendly. The drink selection was impressive and the place was clean. There is a beer garden outback and the staff were friendly. Parking was a bit of a challenge when we went on a Friday at 2pm, but it's manageable during busy times. We definitely want to come back and try something else from their main menu.

Hubby had an amazing home made venison pie, and fabulous chunky chips. I had a very moreish Queenie Scallop cheesy dish accompanied by lovely crispy yummy fries salad with a rather tasty zingy dressing. I finished off with rhubarb tart, sorbet and clotted cream. It was all delicious, wholesome, rustic food properly cheffed and very flavoursome. Lovely people too. Wish it were closer to home.

Went here today for a light lunch and drink. We had the kids fish and chips which was just perfect, very fresh and the batter was just right. Wheelchair accessible, dog and child friendly. Selection of drinks looked good. Place was clean. Beer garden to the back. Staff friendly. Parking wasnt a problem at the time we went Friday 2pm but may struggle in busier times. Would like to come back and try something else from their main menu.

Great, local dining pub. Very relaxed atmosphere and lovely food. Roaring fire in the winter, light and airy in the summer. The gamekeeper is very Dog friendly which adds to the relaxed atmosphere. The pub focuses on local seasonal game, but there are also vegetarian options. This place is the perfect way to round off a lovely Sunday walk!
