“ This pub is very welcoming: there are several tables that are positioned in the correct way to optimize the space and give customers some privacy. The food is excellent even if the menu does not offer many options. Good variety of beers. The service is quick and efficient. The parking inside the pub is not very large. Very recommended for evenings with friends and families. ”

“ Our two sons took their Mum here for a Mother’s Day evening meal and of course me (Dad). The food and attention of service were amazing, as our eldest son had recommended the restaurant to eat. Mia served us and she was professional, polite and extremely happy and couldn’t help more. You could say it was expensive; but for a celebration or if you want quality food - It’s worth every penny and we will definitely be back again. Keep up the good work as finding good restaurants and great staff are getting harder to find. Oh forgot to say they also except our two furry friends (dogs) ”
“ We stayed here for one night to attend a wedding, we arrived early and the staff were very welcoming and helpful, we asked to collect the room key even though we hadn’t booked an early check in, we were giving the key without any problems, so this saved us coming back ( in the middle of the wedding) which was fantastic. Room was clean and well maintained, shower was nice and hot. Breakfast was a triumph with a good selection and the food was tasty and fresh, the gentleman attending to us was friendly and polite. Will definitely stay here again and hope to book for dinner in the future. ”
