This place is a must do hidden gem! Our new favourite place!
Absolutely amazing place, so cosy and rustic with a very warm friendly, welcoming atmosphere! Staff were very nice and clearly well experienced. The food is possibly some of the best you’ll find, especially for their very fair prices! Portions are excellent, I’m a bit eater and I left full up and very happy! We had the Sunday roasts, 1 pork roast and 1 chicken roast- both were way above our already high expectations. The chicken was a half chicken roasted on the bone, the amount of meat I got off it was astounding! Proper tasty! Vegetables were cooked perfectly with a little bite, just as we like them! Roasties were cooked in dripping which was a nice change to what is normally served with a roast at an eatery. The roasts also come with perfectly made giant Yorkshire puddings and lots of beautiful thick gravy. Their menu is very extensive with great options for everyone, a lot of their options can be made Gluten Free. Having seen their normal weekday menu, I’m spoilt for choice as what to have on our next visit, maybe have to order 2 meals and take home what i don’t eat. They even sell 3 types of unique scotch eggs, unfortunately they were sold out but by the sounds of what they are combined with their standards of food.. I can understand why, hopefully they will be in stock next time we visit (next week!). Thankyou to the team, we had a lovely time and shall see you again in a few days. Compliments to the head chef and their team, top work! 10/10. 5*.
