The only place we could get a table for Sunday roast, and we were pleasantly surprised . Good value and tasty food, friendly stuff and nice atmosphere
This is a gastro type pub that you could so easily walk past. Don't!
Run by a family with a clear desire to deliver 'English food with a twist' (their words), it's a clean, modern, semi-rustic place but not done in the large square open space style that some conversions have carried out. Cosy, relaxed feel with exceptionally good, friendly service.
The menu offers a good range of dishes and a really good range of starter/sharer/taster dishes with a small range of desserts. A young head chef delivers really good food and the mussels are exceptionally good. All sauces and drizzles tried were wonderfully smooth and full of balanced flavour to match the dish.
Any downs? Well, just two. The crab fish cakes could easily have had more flavour and the non-alcoholic beer range needs to be extended beyond the one choice.
Don't walk or drive past, give it a try!
Fantastic food & great service. Came in for quiet lunch with a friend and ended up having much more to eat than I intended! Very reasonable cheap lunch menu, but more adventurous fare on the main. I had the lamb ribs (amazing) with a gooseberry mustard, which was original and went with the meat really well. Also had fish bonbons and aubergine rolls (like involtini), both incredible. A lot of really interesting, seasonal flavours on the menu - my cherry sundae was layered with dandelion & burdock jelly for example; lovely to try food that is not just the same old stuff you get on other pub menus. Creative and brilliantly executed.
