It was okay food but the place is worn and need a real refresh of the interior and toilets but of course keep the old style of pub

"Fantastic dinner on first day of festive menu. The smoked salmon and prawn cocktail was lovely take on the traditional prawn cocktail . Salmon and prawns were both big and fresh. Main course was perfect too and very juicy . Tatties , sprouts and carrots...cooked to perfection too. Wonderful service; extremely attentive but not in your face. Big thumbs up from us and it’s back to its best . I’m just disappointed I never tried the feather blade for mains as it looked lovely , but I couldn’t have everything . Maybe next time . Highly recommended."

"Disappointing visit today..warm coffee..they had cake but couldn't see it..cold room..not welcoming by the staff..toilets un clean (cobwebs) We have always been regular visitors and love to support local businesses but today the funky vibes and quirky environment had disappeared."
