    Home cooked or home made?

    My burger looked & tasted like it came off a Brakes lorry to the freezer, to the kitchen, to the plate. Lovely pub, but didn't feel any love in the food. Open packet, place on grill. Or maybe I'm wrong?

    Great character

    This place has great character, contributed to by lovely staff, helpful and friendly. Plenty of room inside and out, without compromising the olde world atmosphere. Food and service excellent. (Ice cream very expensive though!)
