a month agoWe had a wonderful meal here - welcome was warm, service was friendly and the food although on the higher end for pub food, was really delicious. We tried the buttermilk chicken burger and the pie - both excellent - and the lemon posset for dessert was wonderful. Dogs are made very welcome, ours certainly loved the treat station. We really enjoyed the museum to the rear of the pub - super interesting. Would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

3 months agoGood open space. Dog friendly. So good place if other places have no room or you have a dog. Unfortunately, overall not great an experience. Staff saw us waiting to be seated and just walked around us. I needed to ask if we just should grab a table. Not terrible but could improve. Had the tempura oysters and calamari. Oysters were decent. Good presentation. The calamari looked and felt like onion rings. Not great but some people may prefer it this way. Than the chowder. A piece of fish tasted like it was off. The other fish pieces were fine. The baby potatoes were extremely undercooked. The waitress said she’d feed it back when we flagged it - you’d expect more when a product is sub-standard. Burger patty lacked seasoning but the relish compensated. Water available for the dogs along with little bone treats that my dog usually sticks her nose up at but loved here. Not terrible but enough bad points on this occasion to warrant quite a negative review I’m afraid.

5 months agoThis is a very very nice local pub and diner. The food selection while smaller than some places is very well thought out, there's a great variety and the quality is great. While on the pricier side for a pub the food is definitely worth every penny. I would recommend going with friends and or family.

2 months agoVery quiet, we thought it was closed at first. It was only when we sat down we realised how expensive it was which probably explained why so few people were there at lunchtime on a beautiful sunny day. We ate on the patio as they won't serve food in the garden, which is right next to the patio..... 🤷 We just had a starter, tomato and mozzarella salad , very small and not worth £9.
