The Denver steak was exceptional! The butternut squash soup with the leek butter on the bread was also delicious. Would definitely recommend.

We have been a few times, but never for Sunday lunch. Really like the pub atmosphere and feeling. Food was excellent! A measure of a quality pub is their Fish and Chips, and they were exceptional!

Excellent all round, particularly the setting and of course the food. Chef’s really care about the quality of the food, it is excellent along with the service that goes with it.

Slow, very slow. Food was okay but steak was overcooked. If we hasn't been waiting an hour for it to arrive and so in a rush to leave would have sent it back.
