    We were seated in the restaurant but the atmosphere is still casual and relaxed. The service was excellent and the food good quality and beautifully presented. Portions are generous, we'll definitely be returning.

    The food and service was excellent. The various rooms which comprised the pub, some with roaring fires, were a beautiful and cosy setting for a lovely evening and good meal. We also stayed the night and the breakfast was excellent.

    The vegetarian choice was good, food excellent very hot, plenty of it and the service was lovely. The meat option was also very good. So nice to have really hot food. We had a sharing pudding which was ample and very delicious. The service was wonderful. I had a very nice glass of wine. The atmosphere is very nice and the noise level was perfect.

    Great food and service was brilliant. We had to update our booking to reduce number and open table inadvertently changed the booking date!! The restaurant was unfortunately full but they accommodated our group in the library. This actually made it a lovely quirky private experience (low table dining) for a 50th birthday celebration and service was still very attentive, even though we were tucked away.
