Great spot and good food

Lovely Inn with good food. We were too late for lunch service so opted for soup and sandwiches. Excellent white bean truffle soup and great fresh sandwiches. Also a good selection of local beers. Worth a revisit.

Yes, yes and yes! The Three Shires does do Sunday lunches and they are excellent. Given likely volumes of people, booking ahead might be sensible!
