    I could not recommend the Shepherd and Dog pub more highly. We booked on a busy bank holiday weekend, during a heat wave and the pub was fairly busy, but the staff remained extremely pleasant, calm and attentive. A BBQ and children's magician provided an added bonus and the children were entertained by the beautiful garden and children's play area. The waiting staff were courteous and helpful and staff were very supportive in catering for my son's allergies. The food was exquisite- some of the best pub food I have ever had and the location was stunning. we enjoyed a lovely walk afterwards. The whole experience was very relaxing and enjoyable.

    We had an amazing lunch here, 4 people and one gluten free individual. The restaurant really caters for gluten free with all GF homemade sauces and no MSG so perfect peace of mind. We recently came back from Bali and the food here tastes just like the cuisine we ate. Fresh, so flavoursome, really good quality meat and good portion sizes. A hidden gem and we will definitely be returning.
