Table of 5 booked for Sunday lunch We were seated in the restaurant which was clean and tidy with table clothes, clean cloths and napkins
We were about to go to the bar and order drinks and then the waitress said she would take our drink order, which was pleasent of her but because we couldn't see what drinks were available it was a slight guessing game and we felt as if we were kept away from the bar area
Drinks were brought to our table quite quickly however the pint of cider wasn't full to the brim of the glass.
We were expecting menus of the food available to be on the table but there were none I had also tried looking on the pubs website and Facebook page for menus and couldn't find any either Instead we had to listen to waitress reel off the menu to us stood there with pad and paper in her hand One member of our party is a little hard of hearing so found it difficult.
2 chicken 1 lamb 1 beef 1 beef and gammon
Orders were placed and after a short wait the food arrived, plates hot, food hot looked good, standard meat and 4 roast potatoes on plate, veg in large serving dish and 2 gravey boats arrived
Looked nice but meat very thinly sliced potatoes were seasoned and well cooked veg was green beans, cabbage and carrots again no seasoning. Gravey was thick and plenty of it but chicken even for the lamb and beef dinners Also no stuffing with the chicken and a slight hiccup with the Yorkshire puddings due to no fault of the staff, however homemade fluffy hot Yorkshire puds arrived.
Again no menu for the deserts but 4 deserts ordered and very nice they were too 👌
Over all not a bad Sunday roast few niggles would we rush to go back again no not really
Staff very friendly and eating area...

It was a terrific little place and many a glorious evening after the match made the rafters roar. The rapport between the locals - many of whom worked at hospital - and the RAF personnel was fabulous. The beer was terrific (Courage) and there was an iron stove in the centre of the room providing terrific heat adding to the smashing atmosphere. It was also the weekend afternoon and evening gathering place for many. Many a lively farewell party was conducted and some of us even stood in behind the bar when things got roaringly good and busy! I looked in a while back, soaked in a pint or two and drank in the atmosphere. Nostalgia ruled of course!!! We've all long gone now but many of the internet exchanges of those of us remaining still recount the great times. Bless it .....a great little archetypal little...

Owner makes you feel very welcome and it’s clear how much she loves running this pub. I love that there is lots of events on here and I can’t wait to go to them, I’ve recently moved to the area and I have been looking for somewhere like this.
