Nice hotel but the food has deteriorated . Go there fortnightly for meetings and always end up with half cooked chips and tasteless food .

I was welcomed by such friendly staff including the lovely runner Laura. She was so knowledgeable on the food and guided us in our eating journey. Could not recommend a better pub, or better staff!! Cant wait to come again and see those cheery faces.
