About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
We are not a ‘fancy pants’ establishment. Not in the least. We offer good quality, home-cooked, locally sourced (where possible) food. 90% of our menu is made on the premises. Certainly not ‘Pub Grub’ but not ‘Gastro Pub’ either. It’s good value for money. However, our standards are high, very high. Not only in the quality of the food that comes into and leaves the kitchen but also in the presentation, the delivery to the table and overall customer service. We’re definitely not ‘Silver Service’ either but all of our staff are attentive, smartly dressed and will always go that extra mile wherever they can. This is why we regularly appear in OpenTable's Top Ten Best Restaurant Lists.
We are a dog friendly establishment, very dog friendly. However, please tell us at the time of booking so that we can place you in our Bar area , as opposed to our Restaurant.

    We visited yesterday for a carvery and, unfortunately, came away feeling a little disappointed. The portions of meat were a bit on the stingy side, and the potatoes were rock solid. The Yorkshire puddings were also very slightly overcooked. Overall, it just wasn’t quite what we had hoped for, especially as we visited last year and had such a lovely roast, which we really enjoyed. We were looking forward to coming back, so it was a shame that this visit didn’t quite live up to our previous experience. Hopefully, it was just an off day, as we know how good it can be.

    Great midweek carvery and superb quality. I'm Coeliac and Gluten-free was noted from my table booking and maintained my confidence throughout the service. Well done.
