    We rate all the restaurants that we visit and write comments in a book so we know whether to come back in the future. These are ours for your restaurant. We loved the restaurant and the food was fantastic and value for the money. Halloumi and garlic mushrooms starters were to die for. The lasagne and the tai curry were by far the best that we have eaten. The young lad with the tattoos was exceptional and at his job and communication was fantastic with him. The service was very slow here. And we had to ask when our starters were coming Having said that last comment I would still highly recommend this one. Definitely use this restaurant again. Thank you 8/10

    This is the second time I and a group of friends have had such at the Griffin and once again we were not disappointed. The landlord is extremely friendly and welcoming and keeps his real ale very well. The food was, once again, delicious.
