Eating Out

Delicious food and good ambience. It has a lovely garden for a coctail on a summer evening. It is fairly expensive but worth it in my opinion!

They do a fantastic breakfast. Lunches and Cakes are also good. They are not open in the evening. A cafe rather than restaurant. The Den is next to John Thorners which is a local butcher and farm shop.

The food here is great. Especially the Sunday lunch. It's about 20 mins to drive but well worth it. They do roasted onions and cauliflower cheese with a roast. The steaks are also good here.
