Not been in for years... wow the new landlady and landlord are so welcoming! Festive Roast Turkey dinner was beautiful. Pork Medallions was delicious. The best of touches, our little boy was offered colouring book and pencils and a a choice of every lolly pop under the sun. Very clean. Prices very reasonable and they even serve nibble on the bar if you are just in for a drink. We will be back very soon. Thank you.

Quiet town location great pit stop for a night out at a disco or karaoke or just a game of pool. Under new management just settling in and they are doing a fantastic job! We will certainly be visiting more often now they have taken over.
