    Such a lovely pub to visit. Always a warm welcome. We can take our dog too, and he loves going to the Buck, it’s his favourite. Our food was exceptionally tasty last night, however, it’s always extremely enjoyable.

    Really lovely food and service. Their menu is not huge but the food is always really tasty and easy to find a healthy option and something a bit unusual. Service always very friendly and efficient.

    The white bait and the crispy chicken were lovely. The flat iron steak was good (the ribeye steak had all been sold). Although the hake was cooked well, the portion size was very mean and just the tail end of a thin fillet - the dish was more like saffron orzo with a hake garnish. We fed this back when we paid the bill.

    Our experience couldn't have been better, we booked a table of 3 for a Saturday afternoon. The decor is very tastefully done with a wonderful relaxed ambience. The service was fantastic and the food was top notch. As a group of 3 ladies, we had lots to catch up on so spent several hours here, and were never rushed at any point. I can highly recommend.
