Great eating, amazing environment, beautiful place. comes back.

We sat outside for lunch on one of the first days of Spring 2022. Great tasty food. A really lovely traditional pub. Thank you!

Excellent pub. Very good food and a splendid setting. Pleasant, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

What a lovely place... We discovered it by coincidence but really enjoyed the time there. Staff is friendly and helpful and the food is excellent.
