We had Sunday lunch here today before visiting the castle and it was lovely. There was a choice of beef or pork, I chose pork as the beef was cooked well done, which I am not so keen on, but my husband had beef and I tasted it, it was succulent and not dry at all. The Yorkshire puddings were really nice (these too, I could take them or leave them) and the veg tasty. Good sized portions for both adults and children. Comfortable and clean and really nice tiles in the bathroom! The staff were very attentive and pleasant and the food came out amazingly quickly. We were in and out in less than an hour, which was perfect as we were heading over to the castle.

The little village seemed to be full of pubs and places to eat, but none looked as appealing as The Pump. I’d defnitely visit here again.
