This pub seems to do a strong restaurant business, but I'm not sure why. The food was good, but not great. I much preferred the bar and the ale.

Really good pub, currently doing a very good trade in food. The staff are certainly the best in the area.

We tried this pub as it's in 'Sawdays' and recommended by a neighbour. The menu (tiny blackboards) was off putting & badly written. The vegetarian selection was limited. The food was below average - my 'chilli pancake' was bland, a rolled up tortilla with a drizzle of chilli, for £10, overpriced. My husbands gammon was disappointing, we left most of our food. This is a great shame, the pub has a great reputation and the staff are friendly, but the food is dreadful and over priced. I am sorry to say, we won't go back.

It's not actualy part of a chain - it's leased from a brewery, so is it's own "boss" if you like.

It's part of a chain now, but still manages to retain it's individuality, which must irritate the bean counters at H.Q.
It's a few miles out of town but certainly worth the effort if you're after a pleasant evening in nice surroundings.
Beer, food, service and environment all very nice,
