First visit with my husband since the refurb, we visited fairly regularly before and always enjoyed it.

The decor and refurb is top spec and beautiful however, I felt it was lovely before in a different way - it felt more like a quirky, village local pub, now it feels a bit more like an impersonal bar.

If you want great service, great food with a good menu in lovely comfortable surroundings then this is the place to be. I couldn't add any photos as the I couldn't get any good shots without violating someone's privacy but I am sure there are plenty on their...
