"Stepping into this establishment felt like taking a delightful trip back in time. The rustic charm was absolutely captivating, making the experience both fun and immersive. As for the food—simply amazing! Each dish was packed with flavor and prepared to perfection. We ordered the scotch eggs for appetizers which were so delicious. My husband had the duck filet which was out of this world and I had the dinner special of the steak which was tender and very tasty.
The service was impeccable; the staff were attentive and friendly, making sure everything was just right. To top it all off, the facilities were spotless, which only enhanced the overall experience. The quality of everything—from the atmosphere to the food—was truly outstanding. Highly recommended!"

"Not your average pub fare!
There was a little wait, but it was worth every minute. Menu was full of variety and everything was delicious. No joke...the BEST Shepherds Pie out there (and we order it everywhere). Food is full of flavor. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!"
