    Table for 3 on a Friday evening. Attentive service, good and varied menu, great ambience…calm and friendly with a little buzz and lots of people enjoying the pub and its grounds - we were in the dining room which was comfortable and airy. Food arrived in a timely manner and was very nicely presented. I enjoyed pan grilled prawns, followed by an excellent fish platter (it was Friday!), ending with a tarte citron and all washed down with a 0% cider. All perfect, however I was slightly jealous of Mrs.W’s lamb and my daughter’s chocolate brownie. There’s always next time…looking forward to that already!
