What our guests say
Outstanding service & food, welcoming friendly staff and locals. Really busy on the Tuesday evening we visited so recommend booking.
We had high expectations from the reviews and they were exceeded. We’ll definitely be back when next in the area
Just went there for Sunday lunch, warm welcome, friendly and very efficient service from all staff and the meal was superb 5 star plus from us. Definitely return when in the area.
Great food option just off the A303. I stopped in for dinner on a weekday evening. Good food, inexpensive, quick, pleasant & friendly service, nice beer garden. So much better than the roadside options
We went for a birthday meal for 10 people. I chose it for the vegetarian options, way beyond the token offerings you usually get. I had the butternut squash strudel, delicious and filling. Meat eaters were also impressed. The creme brulee was just fabulous. Highly recommended.
