Number of ‘excellent’ reviews: 260
One reviewer said: “Best meal I’ve had had years, and excellent service. Went with my wife as a pre Xmas treat, can’t recommend it enough.”
Another reviewer said: “Went here for the first time today but it will not be the last time we go! It was the best Sunday lunch we have ever had in a pub or restaurant. The potted mackerel starter was delicious. The roast dinner was perfectly cooked and very generous portion size with added green beans and cauliflower cheese as extra vegetables. We had to have a rest before sharing the brownie for dessert, which again is the best brownie we have ever had. We were so full (and still are!) that we have had nothing to eat since leaving the restaurant just after 3pm and it is now 11.30pm! A very pleasant relaxed environment with friendly staff.”

"The main meal was Honey Roast Butternut Squash Warm Salad with Tandoori Chickpeas and Feta, it was out of this world, and a very generous portion!
This restaurant was warm, cosy and we received a genuine warm welcome from the owner. we will definitely be returning.”
