We live a few hundred meters away but hadn't been in here for a while as we tend to use this pub more in the summer... noticed that they had a bit of a refurbishment so thought we would try out the food. The pub serves what I would call classic British pub food with lots of options available. The venue now has a little more space and the decor is lovely, it is still quite traditional but now has a contemporary industrial twist. The warmer lighting makes it feel more cosy and welcoming too.
We wanted something simply so I went for a beef burger and my wife had a fried chicken burger. Both were excellent and made fresh in house, my beef burger was pink inside (how I like it) and my wife's fried chicken burger was really crunchy and tender. The fries that came with the meals were really crispy and not greasy at all.
Will definitely be back to try some other items from the menu and will also definitely try their Sunday roast.

Read moreWe stumbled across this hidden gem while in the area yesterday. What a lovely atmosphere! The pub itself was decorated with historic and quirky memorabilia and it was an absolute pleasure to be in such comfortable, welcoming surroundings.

I would give this hidden gem 10 out of 10 in fact more! Thank you to the staff for making us so welcome during our...
Read moreLovely decor, county pub feel with super garden area. Staff were great..food was really good. I was very disappointed with the very limited choice of ales (1). Maybe it's different at a weekend. Atmosphere has been given a middle of the road 3 based on the rather loud and foul mouth customer standing at the bar 6 to 8 feet from where we were esting our meal. In one burst of expletives, I counted 5 F's in a sentence that constied of no more than 10 words.
I'm no angel, but come on, this guy is obviously regular and no doubt would be embarrassed if he realised the impact of his bad and un called for expletives on new visitors.
To sum up...beer choice, poor, staff great, food great... entertainment...
