Come meet the locals. Old English style hotel loved by the locals. If you don’t eat here it’s a must for a glass of red by the open fire place on the cooler days or a gin and tonic in the beer garden on the warmer days.
Two menus - bar and restaurant. I would suggest booking a booth as it creates a great atmosphere.
My go to meal - Steak topped with half a cray in garlic sauce!!
