Hand sanitizer at entrance and a one way system in operation. Shown to our table which had be individually shielded. Waitress service only. A personal details form had to be filled in ,phone , e-mail address , time of entering , time of departure. The amount of tables had been dramatically been trimmed down in the restaurant side but the function hall was in use if needed.Nice to see some recognizable faces back to work that we knew from before the virus struck. Plus the new young lady who served us , only her second day and had the makings of a good waitress , obliging , courteous and efficient.Starters , main and desert were enjoyable . Slow cooked brisket with all the trimmings was lovely. Option of one , two or three courses. Nice to see the correct glasses being used to match the drinks . So all in all an enjoyable experience . We will definitely return and hope the business picks up, as this place deserves success for all the hard work they put in.

We had to try it. It was really superb! The steaks were wonderful, and served with mushrooms, salad and a choice of chips or sautéed potatoes. Make sure to ask for the tarragon mayo it’s really lovely. The normal

This place comes out on top. Best roast dinner for miles. We have had the starters and they are excellent. But as we havent got past the roast dinners yet, we cant really comment on the rest of the menu. Third visit today and still excellent. Thank you.
