My new go to place … This pub restaurant has fabulous countryside views from the terrace. On my last visit, we enjoyed food cooked from the terrace barbecue. Inside the restaurant is tastefully decorated.
Definitely worth the fifteen minute drive from the property to Netherfield.
Book first as this is becoming popular with locals.
