Just had a fabulous meal here, two of us plus a rather large German Shepherd. They *really are* dog friendly, not just tolerant, our boy has been totally loved up this evening. Plus the food was excellent, the service was friendly and efficient, and the interior is warm and attractive. We're not staying in the rooms, so I can't comment on them, but would definitely recommend this as a place to eat good food, and with an especial recommendation for dog owners to feel welcome.

Been here for lunch numerous times and the food is always very good. They've had excellent cask beer on from local brewery First To Last every time we've visited too. Super dog friendly.

We came here for a meal and were very satisfied. As soon as we entered we were welcomed by Tom (who makes delicious cocktails). The lady called Chloe who tended to all of our needs was wonderful! Both Tom and Chloe made our time here unforgettable with their abilities to go above and beyond. Chloe helped us to get our daughter a kids portion of banana blossom and chips, helped us with recommendations and was so attentive to all of our needs. Tom was funny and offered me a dessert cocktail. Tom rose to the challenge when I explained I was vegan. Hands down this was the most delicious cocktail I have ever had! The chief also needs a shout out as the food was absolutely delicious! Every part of our meal was so friggin good. The banana blossom was the best we’ve had and we’ve tried it all over the country. The mushroom pasta was so excellent that I was thinking how I would love to eat that for dinner again the next day. The decor and atmosphere is charming and clean. The food was top notch (with loads of choices for vegans WIN!), the team are a delight and well deserve some recognition. If I didn’t live 7 hours away I would definitely be a regular. Keep up the great work guys and thank you so much for our wonderful meal with you.

Came for lunch after a morning walk. I want to thank you for a lovely lunch, we had the fish sharer with some chips and other sides. We especially want to thank our server (Yanet I think?) who was absolutely lovely and really made us feel welcome. Great job all round and will be back. P.S. our dog loved the doggy menu!

We visited here for dinner with our kids and it was absolutely spot on .. years ago this was a very tired old bar known as the Percy Arms .. what a delightful experience to see it not only restored to its original purpose but to see it brought into modern day sophistication... The food was superb although ...we were looking for a pancake menu .. in terms of happy customs we certainly left feeling well looked after and well fed... The home made chips were exactly as they should be and the sharing platter was faultless I don't think I've ever enjoyed a pork pie so much in my life! Bougie to say the least - venue was clean - noticed dog babies are welcome and our kids enjoyed the menu too! Can't wait to go back! And ...parking was easy and free!

We visited the pub/restaurant after booking a table at a very last minute during the bank holiday weekend. We were welcomed by a very cheerful waitress who lead us to the table and offered some drinks. The menu consists some nibbles, starters, starters to share, salads, main dishes (mostly classic pub dishes including burgers) and desserts. Vegetetian, vegan and gluten free options, all labelled in the menu. We ordered chicken shawarma and crab burger. Despite busy Saturday evening, we didn't wait long for the meals. The crab burger was really nice, same as dynamite coleslaw. The chicken was nice and tenter, well but not too much spiced but the flatbread was almost unedible- very hard and chewy. We didn't get desserts. It's a very nice pub, with bar area and a few table areas, all nicely decorated with a bit elegant, rustical style. There is also a small beer garden on the back of the building, next to the car park. The staff were very friendly and nice, attentive to the dietary requirements.
