“The staff so attentive, the ambience just right and the food was excellent.”

We treated ourselves to Christmas Day lunch as just the two of us this year & although pricey ( they presumably pay staff double time for working Christmas Day?), it was a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, the service attentive but unhurried (we needed a long pause between our main course & pudding!!) and the noise level was well moderated with no background music and no drinkers standing at the bar. Thanks to all the staff for making it truly special!!

The pub is half way between the railway station and the town centre. The interior is most interesting with huge collections of old prints and photos on the walls and ceramic bottles on shelves around the lounge. In addition, there is an impressive selection of malt whiskies behind the bar, and a good selection of draught real ales. Food not commented on as we did not eat here.

A traditional pub and restaurant, serving a good selection of proper ales, and good food. Friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. A group of us had pre-food drinks, followed by a meal, and then more drinks afterwards. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Will be back.
