Came here for my Sister’s birthday. It was a good time. Very busy restaurant. I ordered a award winning steak pie. It wasn’t on the menu but I saw it on the website and asked if they had it and they did. It was really good. Pastry was lovely. I also had pate with toasted bread. Very nice. I had a passion fruit mocktail. It came with a shot and I didn’t know what it was. It was procecco. The manager said it was 0% alcohol Prosecco. The ceiling is very low so be careful if you’re tall. We also had a 40% off main course after signing up on the website.

Dav was superb and incredibly kind. I had booked a dog-friendly table for three, but when making the reservation, I wasn’t able to mention that we had a 92-year-old lady with a zimmer frame, so high seats would have been very difficult for her. Dav immediately understood and quickly set up a low table for us, which was fantastic! Daisy, Becky, and Avangeline were also wonderful, helping us with food and drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing. I had the steak, my partner had what he called the best ever pub pie created by Tom Shepherd, and we also had the salmon, everything was delicious. The only small disappointment was that there were no dog treats left as the earlier dogs had already enjoyed them all. Still, the service and thoughtfulness throughout made the whole experience feel above five stars.

Had a 40%off mains leaflet come through the door and hadn't been here for a few years, so be rude not too. Well we weren't disappointed. The bar area was nice n cosy although it did smell a little damp. We had to wait for our table, not long tho. A good selection of drinks at the bar. The inch's riversider was especially nice. Once we sat and ordered the starter came out quite quickly. Lovely presentation. I had the cheese, bacon n garlic mushrooms. Very nice, just needed a little more garlic and stronger cheese. I then went for the best pub pie and award winner apparently. And yes I did make the right choice, a little rich but yes very good pie. Exactly how it described. The staff were very good, friendly, cozy pub. Well worth a visit.

Went with my sister for lunch. Food sublime. I had lamb shank which was very large cooked to perfection. Staff were helpful and friendly. Can’t recommend highly enough. Being a midweek lunch it was quite quiet but we loved the whole experience.
