Nice pub, good atmosphere but didn't like the fact that dogs were allowed on the seats.

First time at the Pub and what a Treat it was. Although we didn't eat, the menu and the food looked really good and appetising, also very reasonably priced. The inside of the pub is like a "Tardis". Plenty of tables and chairs and a reasonable bar space. The visit we made was to listen to live music and we weren't disappointed. A Fabulous afternoons entertainment and all free. Bar prices were remarkably good and the team were extremely friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

Had lunch there on Weds whilst Christmas fayre was offered there were welcome alternatives pub favourites like burgers ham egg and chips and even a good sandwich menu. We chose the later bacon brie and mushroom served with chips and side salad which was excellent. Great place and dog friendly so will be back with my dog!

A 'real' country pub just like I knew in my younger days. A congregation of locals having a good time that made me feel welcome.
