"I popped into The Bridge Inn to check if they were serving food and if they were dog friendly. The bar keep was welcoming and confirmed that The Bridge Inn is dog friendly, however they weren't serving food and as I wanted lunch I didn't stay, so can't comment beyond the initial welcome and a general thought on the pub, which felt pleasant and looked comfortable."
