This is a beautifully decorated Inn/pub. We went on a sunny Saturday afternoon and sat outside. The chef has just set up a huge BBQ which he will be firing up every weekend when it's sunny. The food was really delicious and not too expensive. Definitely well worth a visit!

The outside area was a pleasure to sit in with as much sun and shade available to suit everyone. The service was excellent - everyone is... More

Visited for a late lunch on bank holiday monday. Great food, good service, great portions, amazing garden, friendly staff. Quite a lot p seating outside but in sections so you didnt feel on top of other people. Really chilled out atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I was trying desperately to find somewhere to take my girlfriend for our anniversary and then I happened to spot a Groupon deal that seemed to good to be true. It was a room for two nights with a dinner on one night and breakfast for 2 mornings. To top it all off there was also a bottle of champagne... More
