Went for Sunday lunch/roast dinner. Pub very cosy and warm atmosphere. Appeared to be very homely and child/dog friendly. Nice wood fire burning. On to the service. Very good with some very kind and well trained waitresses (knew the wine menu off top of her head and took our entire order without writing it down)! On to the food. Well that was the best part by far. Extremely impressed with starters, mains, sides and desert. Proper homemade fresh food. Proper homemade roast potatoes too!! Came out feeling absolutely stuffed. Will be returning for another roast here without a doubt. Saw the waitresses being given a roast on their break (food must be clean and good if they are eating) and thought it was a lovely way of looking after them. Spoke to head chef who came out for a break as well who was a really nice bloke and spoke about his cooking with passion.
