    Fantastic pub for lunch or dinner (we had both, visited twice). Staff were lovely and welcoming, food was traditional and impeccably executed, and decor was quintessentially English pub! An absolute must to visit!

Two tables roadside if you want to be in the sun.

    Stopped in for a pint and had a really great time! The atmosphere was perfect, super chill (but not sleepy) with a great playlist. Our bartender Sam was great! Very friendly and easy to talk to. We’ll definitely be coming back here!
