A vulnerable couple had their wedding reception here. They paid for food for 40 people. They then got in touch and said that only 20 would be there. The manager was very unhelpful. He could have suggested a smaller more varied buffet. As it was the buffet was dull and uninteresting. The salad used to decorate the plates was limp and dry.

Read moreA magnificent renovation of a very tired pub! Helpful, friendly staff, a surprisingly varied selection of food, drink, desert, and snacks. I ordered the triple sausage and mash with veggies and a fluffy giant Yorkshire pudding. The sausage of the day (an idea I am 100% in favour of!) Was maple and bacon and were cooked to perfection. For desert I had chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream, the fondant was melt in the mouth joy, and the ice cream a perfect foil! Overall a really enjoyable experience for a very...
