What Andy K doesn't like about The Monks Retreat:
Charming local pub with decent food and friendly (if slow) service. It gets pretty loud when the local residents come together in the evening so look elsewhere if you prefer a quieter place. View all feedback. What User likes about The Monks Retreat:
what a Jewel. fantastic Sunday lamb and a pavlowa to die. but what tops it is the great atmosphere and the extremely friendly owners. we're coming back. 100%. we've been back a few times. still huge fans. View all feedback.

New owners have turned this into a really good pub for eating out. But still a really good local drinking pub as well. We’ll done!
