Had a lovely meal with my 84 year old aunty. We were very impressed by Kadie who is so welcoming. Had a lovely Yorkshire pudding with Top side, veggies and roast potatoes. Price was very reasonable and we’re going home with a doggy bag. But it’s not for the doggy!!! And for one evening Kadie agreed to say #SconeAsInGone. Service was great, and the food too. Thanks Carl the Chef! Plus love that the pub was serving beer almost 400 years ago! Good parking too, and seating area outside!
Can only judge on food and drink as we didn't stay over. There were 9 in our party. The servings were generous and the extras - cauliflower cheese mushrooms were decent size and nicely cooked at an additional cost that was reasonable and served more than one. The staff were efficient and everything was hot. Unfortunately we were unable to accommodate a pudding but the menu had variety. Atmosphere pleasant and welcoming. The only minus is finding the place! It is down cobbled roads that seem to lead to nowhere and around curves that make it sinister in dim light. Getting into the place is challenging and is not wheelchair or wonky leg friendly.
Stayed for a couple of nights last week on business and how lovely it was stay in a proper pub! Warm welcome on arrival from Kayda (apologies if incorrect) and shown to the room. All the basics and nice and comfortable. Wandered down to pub for some food and beer and was given such a friendly and warm welcome by the locals and the staff. First night I went for a couple of Timothy Taylors plus a chip butty. Now it would be reminisce of me not to offer a warning about the chip butty as it comes on a bap the size of a small plate and the skin on chips are simply the best I have had in many a tear! Second night was King Prawn Fajitas which were amazing and washed down with a couple of pints of golden ale. If you get the chance to visit please do as you wont be disappointed by the welcome, the beers, the food, the staff and the locals. If i am back up on business I will be popping in again for sure!
Staff here are brilliant nice welcome at the door by Katie. Greeted well Would definitely recommend the rooms . Fresh pints. I had Timothy Taylor tasted lovely and nice bangers and mash . Love the history of the place.
Had an afternoon tea with friends on Thursday - wow! The food and presentation was amazing. Everything was home made fresh and really lovely. Honestly couldn't have been any better 🥰. Staff were also lovely and very attentive. Couldn't manage it all - so gave us each a tray to take home.
