The family and I had food from the pub classics menu. All of the food was exceptional. “Pub classics” do run the risk of being naff, but they truly tremendous. The service and staff were so good. Highly recommended. Dan Cooper2025-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff polite and friendly. Room was clean and had all the basics although could do with some updating and paint touch ups. Location excellent for exploring the area and the restaurant and pub were excellent.
