Very clean and tidy pub with plenty to offer for a little family meal out. Food was OK. My daughter loved the carvery. Plenty of choice with drinks and not too bad price wise. Love the wacky warehouse too. Update- ordered a kids meal with ice cream and drink for £5.48 which I thought was a very good deal! Delivered into wacky for convenience too!

Came for a take out carvery and desert of apple pie and custard yesterday and both where absolutely gorgeous, the veg, meat and Yorkshire puddings where very tasty and fresh and there new roasties are a hit. I would definitely recommend this place for a dinner. Great quality for so little money.

A beautiful pub with beautiful food and out of this world customer service! Just from walking in with my family the staff were so engaging with my children! Nothing was too much and the food was outstanding! Would highly recommend visiting here even if its just for a drink as the building has character and good atmosphere! If I ever holiday here again I'll definitely come back!
