Utterly splendid establishment featuring the entire spectrum of interesting rogues, eccentric legends and stalwart cohorts, set amongst a backdrop of cosy euphonious ambience and canine companionship.

For pudding we sampled the apple and plum crumble with custard, which was also very tasty. We followed this with coffee before departing. Service was prompt and the price was very reasonable coming in at £27 for the meal including drinks with the meal and coffees afterwards. The place is quite small and parking is not exactly easy, although there is room for four or five cars directly in front of the Inn. I have no doubt that we...
