We have visited this establishment before after recommendations and it's an easy ride out for us...about 25 mins away. So, when we decided to have lunch out one Sunday and were in that direction, we decided to have a 2nd crack...and things have got even better since our last visit! Service here is really good. We assume it's the manageress, but a young lady greeted us with a really friendly welcome, and not long after offered us a choice of tables. Dogs are allowed in and the pub doesn't give the appearance of a spruced 'gastro pub', and thats what we like about it. It seems like a real pub serving superb food. We were quite late at arriving and were told that roasts after 3pm weren't possible, though this didn't seem to be a massively rigid rule. We both opted for the roasts and were really pleased we did. In all honesty, whilst the cut of Pork was decent in it's shape and size, it wasn't the best quality meat we've ever had, and it was the only even slightly negative point in our entire visit, but the chef did what he could under the circumstances. The vegetables that came with it were absolutely first class however...a massive bowl we couldn't finish. The gravy was delightful and my wife, who has a smaller appetite normally, asked for more! Prsentation was also spot on - the chef should be aware that his micro veg were noticed with the corned beef hash...absolutely brilliant and real attention to detail. Other courses were great too, and there is a good choice of beers and gins. I would wager that this could become a michelin star winner before too long, like it's sister establishment. I've eaten worse in such awarded eateries...and we'lld efinately back again, but won't leave it so long until our next visit.

Such a great place to eat and drink, fantastic food and the staff are really good and very happy to help. Highly recommend
