Service is genuinely helpful across the board, from the warm welcome to the excellent, freshly prepared full English and vegetarian breakfasts. Evening meals and the pub itself, set within a charming garden, contribute to a sense of real value and atmosphere, making it a worthwhile destination in itself.”
