Lovely old fashioned pub traditional food and great servicePosted on Tony STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to find a pub serving real home made food. Great food and service and great value too. Definitely worth a visit.Posted on Liz AllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whilst I cannot fault the food quality, please be warned if you order from the £10.95 Winter Warmers menu you will be served with a child sized portion although no mention of this is on the menu. I left still feeling hungry ???? Even now I can't see how £10.95 can be justified for such a small amount of food.
