The Restaurant
Our main restaurant is modern with a lantern light ceiling which allows in plenty of natural light to flood in. A great piece of real architectural design. The restaurant boast some wonderful bespoke ironwork along with a vintage industrial feel . This restaurant offers a modern ambiance an ideal place to catch up with family and friends and enjoy our mouthwatering local dishes.

The Inn
The Inn is full of old world charm with little hidden nucks for dining. This restaurant is full of character and is used at lunch times primarily, but in the evenings, it offers a cosy ambiance lit by candle light ideal for a more casual approach to dining.

The Inn also offers an afternoon tea which is simply divine. Served between 2pm-5pm by prior bookings only.

The Bar and Snug is a relaxed and super cosy space sticking with the old charm of the Inn which this part of the building offers. It has an impressive wood burning stove and is dog friendly.

    Here with my 97 year old mother and my wife who has her birthday today. Busy on arrival as there was a function in a different area which was just arriving at the same time. We were spotted quickly and efficiently looked after, Staff were lovely. Food was great. Mum couldn't manage all here Steak Pie as the porton was just a bit big for a 97 year old!!! A good value menu too. We were really happy and thank you.

    Lovely setting, nicely done for Christmas. Lots of choice on the main menu, several specials and desserts to choose from. The staff are friendly and the right amount of attentiveness. Usual price for mains, desserts more pricey but worth it as they're delicious.

    The food here was fantastic. Every member of staff that interacted with us what professional but also friendly and conversational. Everyone made us, and our dogs, feel welcome. I can highly recommend the lamb Henry!
