“Great pub - friendly and good food”

Great local pub with good food and very friendly staff. Good beers on tap including local ones. Sometimes hard to get a seat at dinner time - but worth it when you do. Large beer garden too...

“Fine, traditional pub - with good food.”

Walkers and well-behaved dogs and children are all welcome. An excellent beer garden round the back. And a great open fire for when the weather is character-building. Interesting range of local beers, and substantial, locally-sourced meals at sensible prices. Relaxed, friendly staff. About 50/50 locals and visitors.
