We visited this restaurant two nights in a row since it was conveniently located next to our B&B. After reading some reviews mentioning "rude" bar staff—something I usually enjoy for a good laugh—I was hoping for a bit of banter. Unfortunately, that staff member was gone, but the replacement was extremely helpful and had a wicked sense of humor. I didn't catch any names because they were quite busy, but all the servers were very friendly and accommodating. The food was a decent standard pub fare, but Andy's gammon steak was the most delicious he had ever tasted. It's great to know it was made from local meat sourced from a nearby butcher!

Generous portions served with care. We ordered burgers topped with chicken and lamb steak, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The staff was really friendly as well. A must-visit!

We had a nice Sunday roast here today, it was delicious. generous portions nicely cooked. I have a food allergy that they have taken care of without food. we were more than satisfied, excellent service.

Apparently the only pub in town serving hot meals on the Monday of our visit! So it was busy, and we were fortunate to book a table one hour in advance. Food was reasonably priced and fairly good. Nice friendly staff. Clean but old fashioned decor and furniture.
