Long overdue visit back to this little gem sampled many pints of Pale Ale which were perfect, a lovely combination of dry bitterness, very quaffable. Combined with the excellent food it�s easy to see why this pub was packed midweek. Almost perfect pub, thanks to the landlord and his trusty pub dog - how a pub should be run. 9.5 out of 10.

Oh yes, yes, ... tried on the strength of previous reviews and was not disappointed.

Good range & quality of beer - we tried four ales all of them outstanding quality, all of them by small, independent micro-breweries. Plus, we didn't need to wait longer than a couple of minutes at the bar each time our glasses were empty. The bar staff were friendly & attentive, always on the lookout for a punter in need of serving.

The pub is understandably popular & we struggled to find a seat but found a great mix of friendly ale-heads, old & young, male & female. There was a real lively, warm feel to the place � love the open fire! We�ve been on the lookout for a pub like this and will have no hesitation in returning very soon if we can get a table to try out some of the food that we could smell as it regularly wafted past the bar!
