This pub had just reopened for table service 3 days before our visit. We were not new to the pub but had not been since it went to new ownership. We booked on their web site. When we arrived we were welcomed into the building. Outside were others seated at tables. We chose to eat inside. At first glance the place was immaculate. The decor was very much a well loved and used country pub. We went to sample evening dining and were not disappointed! The main menu is of Indian cuisine though there are British meals such as traditional fish & chips on offer. There was no real ale on offer but that is understandable as it may take a while for trade to pick up so why waste a 40 pint barrel with not many consuming. QA good range of bottle beer is available though it would have been nice to have imported Indian beer rather than brewed under license in the UK! On to the cuisine!! I had the best chicken Tikka Masala & nan bread I have ever tasted. The lamb samosas as a starter were moreish!! Could go on and on! So, was there a dissapointment? Yes sadly the dessert. Should have been hot with chocolate running out but sadly was cool and perhaps frozen then microwaved, After years of visiting Indian restaurants I should have known better than to order but as this is fundamentally an English Country Pub, why not serve a platter of cheese and biscuits????? Please visit this pub. They do takeaway too.

Great place to visit relax and enjoy good food with good service, relax in the courtyard and ask for an evening blanket. Worth a visit or two
