We had heard good reviews so decided to try.Was quite disappointed. .We had a shared starter and everything on it was bought in.Although we did eat it all.My wife had the game pie which appeared to be popular however was 60%meat 40% gravy.(Tasted ok)The boiled potatoes where dry and tasteless. I like potatoes so pinched one and only ate half.I got the fish and chips..I was so so disappointed with that.The fish was a perfect oblong in shape with the batter looking as if was painted on.Meaning not a fresh piece of fish dipped in batter and dropped into hot oil/fat.The chips I'm sorry to say white floppy tasteless things.We had vegetables which came in a small dish and had to be shared between us 2 and another of our party.To cap it all the proprietors dog was in and out of the restaurant and bar area rummaging under our and other diners tables.

All in all a delightful place where there's a friendly greeting, good food and a reasonably well-stocked bar. A 2nd visit is...

This gentleman had little sympathy with the centuries old tradition of public house keeping and holstlery. Despite only wanting to frequent this establishment for an alcoholic beverage I was turned away with no manners or care, I immediately questioned if the likes of this establishment would survive a pandemic with such a poor attitude towards customers. My only regret from the whole experience was that I was so taken back by this Gentlemans rudeness that I did not have time to retort to his course tongue, but that dear reader is indeed where the concept of reviews favour...
