We were a family group having Sunday lunch, with a three year old. He loved his pizza and garlic bread and the beef was delicious… we were all impressed with the food and the Waiter was very pleasant and friendly. Will definitely go again.

Watched the F1 final on Sunday - superb atmosphere, all the screens on whole pub screaming and cheering it was so much fun, despite Hamiltons loss we had a great time. Pork Roast was delicious, mulled wine also delicious perfect Sunday wrap up to a busy week! Staff all very friendly and seemed to love the F1 too in the spirit. Great sports pub, thanks guys.

Came for Sunday roast, pub looked gorgeous haven’t been in winter yet, really nice Christmas decorations and candles out, felt very warm and welcoming which is hard in a glass room and they’ve done it perfectly- service was also very warm and friendly. We ordered a vegan Wellington roast and the Chicken - both delicious along side some yummy festive mulled wine which just makes a room smell amazing as well. Just felt like a really nice cosy friendly atmosphere very chilled and easy going but busy at the same time. Perfect for staying local on a Sunday.

The foot was absolutely delicious (we had vegan roast and crumble). Both were better than your average pub. We're sorry to have not caught the name of the bar tender, but he very friendly and helpful. Our only criticism was that the foot took a long time to arrive, but the quality and easily atmosphere made up for that. Very dog friendly.

It was a weekday and I asked if they could put the cricket on, which they did, initially with the audio off, which was totally fine because there was a group of mums and babies there, after the mums had moved on they turned the audio on, good to have a gastropub that also shows sport. I also had a very tasty scotch egg and the coffee was good.

Great place to sit outside, really nice patio, even though it’s roadside it’s still quite peaceful and sheltered with the planting. Great spritz menu, had to try a few different ones this time, hadn’t heard of most before, only had a few small plates but very tasty and friendly table service.
