"Overall great pub. Went on a Sunday and it was really busy but we had booked several weeks in advance. Every course was amazing and the portions were so big, I had the Brie starter, steak pie and crumble and every course was amazing. Came so quickly and staff were really friendly and happy to help😊Will be going back x"

"What a charming pub situated beside a canal! We hadn't made a reservation, and upon arrival, we discovered it was quite busy. We were informed that there might be up to a one-hour wait for food, which was perfectly acceptable to us; however, we received our meals within 40 minutes. Our food was delicious, and we would highly recommend.."

"Sunday roast here is to die for.. probably the best I‘ve ever had 🫶🏽 The gravy was my favorite 😅. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Decent price and lovely drink choices. Highly recommended. Will definitely go back and try their other menu 😊"
