We had Canadian relatives staying for a few days. First meal out was 'menu formula food' - ok but far from cheap and not particularly good value. The pub had been fully modernised according to brewery policy, making it just like all other formula pubs in the chain. The external facilities, however, were excellent. Identifying the manager was impossible. The Horseshoe Inn belongs to the same brewery, but was the exact opposite. Our experience was brilliant! Greeted by the most friendly and helpful lady tenant (presumably), who found us a table for 6 in a small pub with great atmosphere! Fabulous home cooked food with ingredients sourced by the landlady and cooked from scratch was presented. The only complaint was the steak, which was a bit overcooked. However, give me a proper pub any time!
Very friendly! The food was superb! We all left feeling very full and satisfied from a lovely afternoon!
We have eaten here three times (two Sunday lunches and mid -week evening meal) in recent weeks, what a refreshing change from the formulaic pub carvery. The hosts are great and the food is too. A lovely traditional pub not many left like it these days. This is a credit to the couple who manage it, so well done to one and all staff. The beer is well kept absolutely spot on. I hope to return here many times in the future.
