Lovely Sunday dinner here today. Big portions and everything was really tasty. Not been in for food for quite a while and we were not disappointed. Best to book as always really busy. Served by Ruby who did an excellent job of ensuring we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back, and they do take out which is great to know.
Got in at 19:59 when they officially stop cooking at 8pm and they still cooked us a dinner - what a superstars. Steak and ale Pie was bloody lo-ve-ly! Fish and chips - delicious- ate whole batter and I am not ill - fantastic. Deserts were so nice too! Brownie melted into orgasmic diabetes shot but it was well worth it. Tart was soooo tarty and even I didn’t quite like the raspberry bit still ate it. Honestly with that sorbet it doesn’t even needed the raspberry. If it wasn’t inappropriate would lick the plates. Love the scooter gang arriving in - that gave the place good vibe. It was a nice touch to see how lovely this place is in the local to us area. Service was excellent and very professional. Personally didn’t quite care for all the plastic decorations all over the place and so much clutter, but I liked the bohemian look of all of the furniture being from different set. That was a cool touch. People seemed very nice. Dog friendly pub.
Fantastic little pub in Hedon. Great decor and atmosphere and large beer garden. Nice choice of hand pulled cask ales with excellent service. I had Lasagne and partners had burgers both delicious! Definitely popping for lunch again!
Small country-type pub. Very nice food reasonably priced, quiet atmosphere, parking & outside space. If I could suggest one improvement maybe buy some sort of capsule coffee machine & not just offer "instant"! Worth going back to.
Come back time and time again.. why? Because nowhere else compares... food is beaut.. cooked to perfection!! DOG FRIENDLY which is an added bonus!! (Water bowls provided) STAFF go above and beyond.. enough of me just go and try it yourselves!! Nights with live music... also!!
