Meat just fell apart and was so tasty. Cannot thank Ian and the staff for a faultless service and as mentioned - fabulous food....

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Originally booked for four people but two dropped out last minute. Contacted the pub to adjust the numbers, as is the right thing to do as I know they are always busy. Great selection of real ales, IPAs and Lager, most from local breweries. I had the burger which was tender, juicy and full of flavour. My partner had the Vegan burger which again was cooked to perfection. The portions are not small so, come hungry and leave full.
