Thanks to Nelson and all his staff for an amazing wedding celebration. The room was perfect, the food excellent, the service impecable and all organised in a record time making all so easy for us! If you have something to celebrate or just want to enjoy an amazing meal, this is your place! Oh, amazing vegetarian and vegan food and also gluten free options, not forgetting the opportunity to taste the excellent Portuguese dishes!
Had a really lovely time at The Carpenters last night, attending an evening of Mediumship. (Definitely want to know when you are putting on the next one please Nelson!)
Nelson & Neil are just the nicest landlords I've ever met. From the minute you walk in they make you feel right at home and like you've known each other for years. And not just me, they were the same to everyone. No matter how busy they were.
Beautiful little nook, gorgeously done up, so clean, tidy & fresh.
I can't speak for the food as I haven't had any yet, but it won't be long before I can as I already know this is a place I'll definitely be returning to!
Had my first roast meal here and absolutely fell in love with the place and food. The service is friendly and quick.
I ordered the Vegan Wellington and it was fantastic. The gravy was delicious and the veggies were fresh.
It was great to see some vegan options for dessert!
The pub itself had a really cozy vibe and I really enjoyed my meal here :)
Went on Saturday the 30/04/22, despite being very very busy they got us a table with no reservation (although I'd advise booking to avoid disappointment). The food was beautiful, I had garlic mushrooms for starters, steak & ale pie for mains and apple pie for dessert, the food was beautiful & our server couldn't have been more polite despite being under a lot of pressure. I would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.
Best gluten free fish and chips I have ever had. Great find, great service, great menu, we will be back.
Lovely food lovely people desserts looked amazing. But we were so full I could not fit one in would defo recommend 100 per cent bith the manager and chef were so friendly

Lovely little pub, dog friendly in the bar area. Small selection of craft ale.
We had such a wonderful group Christmas dinner here. Great food, drinks, atmosphere and staff.
First time we've visited and I've not tasted food this good for years. Felt relaxed, lovely atmosphere, fantastic service, really cosy place. We will definitely return!!!!
Had a lovely Sunday Roast here today. Staff were so friendly service was of a very high standard. Food was amazing.... we will definitely be back to sample the evening menu. Sue and Phil
