The lamb was cooked to perfection, and the gravy was on par with what I've had in top-notch restaurants. Even the onion rings were crispy, and the roasted tomato soup was bursting with flavor, showcasing a complexity achieved only by someone who truly understands how to create delicious layers in their dishes. We also appreciated that the kitchen stayed open for us, despite our arrival being quite close to 2 PM. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, which is a nice touch!

The ambience was both traditional and warm, creating a lovely atmosphere. We were comfortably seated next to the log fire, which added to the charm of the evening. This pub truly exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it. Thank you for providing such a memorable Christmas experience that we'll cherish.

Disappointing was watching all the drunks around the bar watching all day sport with feet on the chairs , not great when you walk into a beautiful old pub. Overall we were happy with the meal, ambulance was disappointing due to all the drunks with feet over chairs that people are about to sit on.
