Menu choice excellent- not massive but I prefer that! Straight forward and yet with options to cater for vegans. The quality was excellent. The welcome couldn’t have been friendlier, very professional. Excellent decor, even a little place holder saying happy anniversary as we’d pre booked. All round very happy.

Ordered a pizza with vegan cheese. Pizza was cooked with dairy cheese. Realised after the first bite. They happily cooked another and said they’d remove the pizza from the bill. The pizza was not removed from the bill and I only realised after I’d paid. This is ultimately on me for not checking, but just a shame after a dietary mix up. Staff were polite and did try to resolve issues, just didn’t follow through on the bill. Lovely pub, nice vibe and good beer. Just a shame about this one!
