    Overall great staff and lovely place inside and out. The leg of lamb was good but we thought it wasn't great value for money, as the lamb portion was too small, which is why I didn't give 5 stars. Everything was delicious though, and the kids meal and dessert are definitely good value for money. Would definitely visit again.

    A very warm and welcoming Inn - dogs were equally as welcome! Fantastic food, friendly staff and great place to get together with friends.

    We all had the Nut Roast on Sunday and it was absolutely delicious - thoroughly recommend. if you want a Sunday roast and there's veggies or vegans with you this is perfect.

    Food exceeded expectation, bar service perhaps a little slow, but was nice to not be rushed.

    Pleasant atmosphere on a quiet evening shortly after Christmas. Staff very kind and appropriately attentive. All very nice except my “belly of pork” was a slice, charred on the outside and rather dry meat, which wasn't what I expected.

    We really wanted to enjoy this meal more than we did, although the staff and service were great, so friendly and attentive, the food was not as good as it could have been. Starters were excellent, but the main meals just didn’t hit the spot, the emphasis appeared to be on presentation and volume (HUGE portions) rather than quality and attention to detail. As an example, the mussels I had were either not as fresh as advertised or had been overdone as they were chewy and tasteless, many of the shells were broken which meant the sauce was gritty, and I wasn’t given a finger bowl or separate dish for the shells; I did inform the waitress that the mussels had not been good, however she did not ask for any other information or feedback for the kitchen. I had eaten less than half of them (and that was with the help of my fellow diners) but was not offered a reduction on the bill. The desserts were lovely, however. I would probably give them another try in the future, as it was not awful but if it were to be a similar experience then I would not return. Maybe we were just unlucky on this occasion.
