There was a good selection of food, and everything we tried tasted great. Definitely worth checking out.

I am generally a meat eater, but went for the veg option….carrot and walnut fritters with parsnip sauce, absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their deserts, lovely sticky toffee pudding.

Starters were soup, and cheese and chutney, both quite nice. The mains were chicken, and beef in red wine. However the potatoes with the beef were undercooked easily noticed when the fork doesn 't even go half way in. The carrots to were undercooked not even al dente. My wife had a load of chips so we weren 't stuck for veg, but surprisingly the waitress never at any point asked how it was, until she came to take the plates away. We pointed out that we had had ample veg, but did expect something more of an apology than just 'Oh sorry '. A gesture like a free coffee or a small deduction would have been a positive get out for the restaurant instead of be leaving with a negative vibe. The pudding which we shared was quite nice. The total cost £51 would have been a very fair price had the vegetables been cooked properly. With so many good eateries around, i am not sure if we would return.

I highly recommend trying the scara bray burger or the scallops. They also offer a variety of dairy and gluten-free options.

The staff were friendly enough and the bar had a pool table, two darts boards, and simple furniture. The seating included nice old church pews. There is plenty of parking available at the back of the establishment and it is located just off the main road.
