I decided to try Camembert cheese for the first time, and it was an excellent choice! It came with a chutney, a salad garnish, a mix of wafer-thin crackers, and a piece of baguette—it was fantastic. My wife ordered the chicken and mushroom spring rolls, which she thoroughly enjoyed as well. For our main courses, I chose the Yorkshire steak and ale pie with chips and gravy, which was incredible. My wife opted for the pan-roasted salmon with Dauphinois potatoes and roasted vegetables, and that was also delicious. We decided to indulge in desserts, and my wife had a trio of chocolate, while I went for the coconut cake—so good! I had two pints of Leodis Camp, while my partner enjoyed a gin and tonic followed by two glasses of white wine. I must say, this was one of the best meals we’ve had in the last few years. The atmosphere was relaxed and not overcrowded, the service was excellent, and the value for money was impressive. Plus, I learned about an app where you can collect points for a free main course on your next visit. Without a doubt, we will return. Thank you very much! Andy and Mandy.

On a positive note, the food quality was excellent—very fresh and well-prepared, making us feel right at home. The beer selection was also great. Overall, I would definitely consider returning, and I'm hopeful they can earn that fifth star on my next visit!

I certainly don't want a stir-fry as part of my Sunday dinner. Our desserts were also disappointing and felt overrated. The staff seemed more focused on clearing tables than on serving customers.
