I'm a uni student and urgently needed a place to do my photoshoot for my course, I was treated so well by all the staff - specifically Molly and Sophie and the general manager, Emma. Wanted to say a big thank you to them for being so accommodating and kind and letting us use the beautiful space! After the shoot we stayed for a pint and the inside of the pub is lovely with a great vibe, would definitely recommend you visit if you want amazing service and a good pint x

Stopped in for a bite to eat with the kids as we are travelling from Australia. Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. We had some delicious starters which filled us up so much that we struggled with our mains! I had the fish and it was so fresh and crispy; hubby had the pie which was delish. Kids had nuggets but they filled up too much prior too! I hated leaving behind food so hopefully this review just goes to show what a great portion you get. Such a beautiful building too. It started to get busy as we were leaving so I could see what a fun atmosphere it would have when busier!

Upon arrival we were greeted by the staff behind the bar, they were very friendly to myself and my wife. Even shared a few laughs! The drawbridge is truely a beautiful pub, from the decorations, to the staff and the food - it was a 10/10 experience. A great range of drinks and a very pleasant atmosphere.
