The meat pie one of us had was full of big chunks of tasty meat, steaks were cooked to specification and all were piping hot.... More

We recently moved to the area and have been here for a few drinks but never eaten. We decided to book for a celebration meal and we were absolutely astounded at the quality of the food we received!
