"Parts of this attractive roadside inn reputedly date back to the 16th Century, providing a lovely setting for cooking based around local ingredients. Several of them come from the owners’ own smallholding and others from nearby producers who are named on the menu – sometimes alongside their distance from the restaurant. These ingredients are fashioned into dishes that burst with flavour and don’t overcomplicate matters, like bright, fresh-tasting roasted cod with mussel sauce." - Michelin Inspector

We stayed nearby and came here spontaneously for lunch. Everything was exquisite. My boyfriend voted it to be in his top 10 lunches haha He had the 3 course menu and each one was incredible, the cheese and beer soup was delicious so was the pork and custard desert. I had the poached chicken, which was nice, although I think I prefer a crispy skin but that's on me. However the meat was still delicious and so were the sides and gravy. Service was fab and attentive. We got a little greetings from the chef at the beginning, which is always a nice touch and a little chocolate to finish The table was set beautifully and everything was spot on. Great small selection of beers. Nothing to complain

Outstanding pub! The staff were so lovely, kind and genuine! The food smelt great but sadly I didn’t have any this time! The beer was lovely and fresh. The two ladies behind the bar were so friendly, happy and accommodating. It’s one of the nicest pubs I have been to in a long time!!

Incredible food in idyllic setting. The new menu from the new owners is fantastic. This is not standard ‘pub grub’ … this is fine dining offering exceptional value for money. I cannot wait to see how the place develops as they grow more and more produce on site. Highly highly recommend!

Lovely place. Beautiful food, friendly staff, nice decor. Sadly, it let dogs in and while we were there some dogs were scrapping in the entranceway which I found quote off-putting. Car park outside is very handy. Nice selection of drinks. Possibly a tad expensive but very nice so I guess that's okay!
