Sunday Lunch
Booked quite late on Thursday for 2pm Sunday without difficulty
As it is so close we walked there and even arriving early we were met with a great welcome and shown to our table.
The restaurant was reasonably busy and very tastefully decorated for Christmas and had a splendid real log fire
The menu was a Christmas one but lots of choice: Chose a wholesome Tomato & Basil soup ( home made 👍) with a sizeable crusty roll, and a trout pate with plenty of bread and a zingy mustard side for starters
Main course was a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings plus a side dish of red cabbage and sprouts plus a turkey jus, and the Tournedos Rossini with a request for the pate to be served separately ( came in its own ramekin) Both meals were served piping hot and plenty of it - really wholesome
A bottle of Pinot Grigio in an ice bucket went down very well
We did want a dessert and asked for perhaps 10 minutes respite which didn’t seem a problem
The staff here are very attentive and friendly
Dessert was an individual Christmas pud with plenty of sauce and a chocolate brownie with a welcome addition of a shot glass of Baileys
As there was enough Baileys left we then had two very nice , strong black coffees and a glass of port
This was an excellent venue and great value for money although perhaps the markup on the wine was a little steep
Perfect place for families and couples alike and are dog friendly too
Will definitely come again and would heartily...

Pork was lovely and moist without needing to hide any dryness with the gravy, the turkey was great and the beef was also very good. The chef Sally gives generous portions of the meat and the veg seems to be getting rotated regularly for stock level and freshness.
Today was a trial price of £8.95 per adult, but will normally be £11.95 per adult and £8.95 per child. Outstanding value for money.
Only thing to watch out for is parking is difficult, but...
Read moreVisited the Brown Trout after a friend said the steaks there are out of this world. So I did what any sensible person would do and booked a table for two. Pub is easy to find and a nice covered seating area was at hand. Staff were very friendly and attentive and looked after us both. I had the 32oz tomahawk steak which was a special on offer at the moment. It was indeed out of this world and one of the best steaks I've had. Do yourself a favour and if you visit and the tomahawk is...
