A very quaint pub, with a lovely atmosphere. When we went in the staff didn’t seem to happy to be there but after the change of staff things brightened up a bit. Drinks were pricier than some other places but still worth a stop off. Price per person: £10–20 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
First time at the Lamplighter for a family birthday meal on the Sunday. Parking was good as you can park anywhere on the Sunday. Booked our meal in advance. I had the roast beef which is pictured. Two large slabs of beef and selection of veg including roast potatoes. We had also ordered some side dishes of parsnips, red cabbage etc. all really nice and so much food. My only nitpick would be that the beef was a little chewy and the kids meals came out after the adults. Maybe I’ll try the pork and crackling next time. All in all a great pub with plenty of drink on tap. Price per person: £100+ Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free of charge street parking
