We had a fantastic Sunday roast dinner here. Everything you would expect, very well cooked, plenty of veg. All the food tasted fresh, homemade and authentic.

Staff were friendly but we'd appreciate being told that there might be a bit of a wait if they were particularly busy. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service:...
