   It was very expensive and the food was not that good. Also he service did not match the pricing. The place is dog friendly which is ok except where people are eating there should be a separate dining area for non dog owners. The wines were particularly expensive given the poor service levels so overall very disappointing especially as we had booked for a birthday meal.

   Cosy country gastro pub with a large menu and something to suit all tastes. Very dog friendly with gardens at the front and back to catch the sun. When we went the waiting staff were really stretched with only 2 serving a large dining area which meant waiting longer for service.

   Lovely food, and very good value. Service was very good. We will definitely return. Noise level was high due to a wedding party being in the restaurant, this did give a happy atmosphere.

   Wonderful service and lovely space. However a couple of us ordered the catch of the day Prawn Greek style salad and there were 6 small prawns, 4 olives and a little crumbled feta and salad leaves and cabbage and it was £25. I was surprised what was served for the price, however lovely it was. I recommend the fish and chips that the rest of the party had, they looked lovely and they all said it was lovely.

    Nice pub serving decent food. Dog friendly. We booked for 3, I rang the day before to add another 2 people but were told this wasn’t possible as they were full. When we arrived our allotted table was set for 4 and was easily big enough to sit another person. In this current climate I’m surprised they can turn business away.

    Thank you for the review Deborah, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your food. I have checked within our systems and can see that the initial table you were allocated was unable to seat 5, however your booking was moved due to another table not turning up. We would advise booking further in advance for larger parties to avoid any disappointment.
