If I based review on Michelle our server 10 stars but basing it on food I can't.
Went for a Sunday drive and stopped in here, lovely pub and as stated Michelle our server excellent but the food was a letdown. The beef was tough as was the pork and the veg tasted stale. Toilets definitely need a lot of attention.

All an absolute joy.
