I came here to celebrate my partners birthday after many recommendations and promises of excellent food from friends and locals alike. I phoned in advance and, speaking to the chef, arranged for my partner to have roast partridge, a favourite of hers, which was served with seasonal vegetables and a red berry jus. The food was truly exceptional, beyond all my expectations, safe to say she was impressed too! All in all I found the place a lovely, welcoming venue, with amazing food and great drinks, I myself enjoying a pristine pale ale before moving onto the bubbly! I would definitely recommend and will be back again. Attached is a picture of my partners meal, it would of been a crime not to share it.

Quirky and cosy! Absolutely loved this place. What seems like a “hole in the wall” bar has such a cool vibe. Annette (owner) and Gavin (chef) made us feel SO welcome. Their customer service is what every business should aspire to achieve!

What a hidden gem. So I didn't know about this pub which was hidden in the corner. We went in without a booking, thinking it's a Sunday and its quite early, we should be fine. but they said they all quite full, so I was surprised. They popped us at the outside table. It was cosy and really lovely. The food came and we were not disappointed. One of our friends hate vegetables but is a veggie.. and he ate all of the food cos it was so delicious. The portions are generous.

Absolutely fantastic meal last Friday.The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for the Chefs. We all enjoyed 3 courses. Starters: Tempura chicken, Calamari and a Scallop & King prawn dish. For main: Cod for one, Rib eye steak for other 3 of us (all cooked to perfection) with chips and accompaniments. For dessert: Brownie for 2, Peanut butter ice cream and lastly a Profiteroles. A sublime meal, would highly recommend!! Compliments to the Chefs again!!
