Firstly, be aware that there's very limited parking in the vicinity of the restaurant, so if you're unfamiliar with the town, do some searching for the nearest public parking.It's a beautiful building with lots of small inter-connected rooms, some more appealing than others; ideally you want to be in the font room where the bar is.All the staff were friendly, but professional and attentive, although there was one server who was a little intense and might do better if they just relaxed a little. The Sunday lunch menu is fixed choice - but what lovely choices they are, especially the desserts.Beef, pork, lamb or fish (cod) with beautifully roasted potatoes and a bowl full of freshly steamed vegetables. We chose meats, so can't tell you what the cod comes with, but the gravy was wonderfully homemade and rich in flavour. The stuffing that accompanied the pork was equally tasty and rich, but the steamed veg were unseasoned and therefore rather bland in comparison.Rather disappointing, however, was the quantity and quality of the pork. No crackling, no tasty chunks of shoulder or belly. Instead, thin slices of nondescript meat from an indeterminable area of pig, smothered in gravy to possibly disguise the paucity of taste and texture. To end on a positive, the Yorkshires were excellent.We'd sidestepped the starters in order to have room for dessert, and we'd made the right decision. The homemade Bread (brioche) pudding served with homemade custard was the highlight of the meal. Made fresh and cooked as individual, generous portions, it's worth saving room for. The Banana Fritters were pleasant, but overwhelmed by the taste of the batter.Overall, one of the better Sunday lunches I've had, and certainly value for money. Just a shame about the one or two touches as mentioned in the review.

Disappointing visit, we have never visited here before and unfortunately I do not think we will be back, we pass this place on our way to visit friends in Kingsland and thought we would treat them to some supper one evening - as neither drive these days and we thought it would be a nice treat for them. We had not booked and we dropped in off the off chance of a table and we were made to feel really uncomfortable for not booking in advance (by the owner?) The pub was not that busy with only a few tables being taken, we ordered our food enjoyed a glass of wine (which was the best part of the visit) and waited and waited! nearly an hour went past and the waitresses looking like they were there for a social catch up (and it was apparent that the waitress did not get on with the owner behind the bar, this made for a negative atmosphere) made no attempt to keep us updated or even offer to get us some more drinks from the bar - when the food did arrive it was good and obviously freshly prepared but just too long a wait and service was very poor - maybe it was just an off day but the whole experience from poor service and a very long wait will stop us visiting again.

We enjoyed our evening meal at this very well set out restaurant. very good ambience, good prices and food very flavoursome. The only negative is the very small portion of vegetables with the meal...we had to ask for an extra portion of vegetable...Otherwise very good.Hi mumahen,Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, I'm very pleased to hear you enjoyed your evening with us. I'm sorry you didn't feel like you didn't have enough vegetables, we are alway happy to provide more as needed.Kind regards,Matt
