    Excellent. Booked a meal for a sunday and had the starter, which was tomato and red onion soup, which was amazing, followed by roast beef dinner, which was also amazing. Can't fault it at all. Reasonably priced, lovely service, friendly staff, and the food was spot on. So yes, I definitely recommend this, and they really deserve praise. Book early, though, as they are very busy to guarantee a table and time.

    Everything about this amazing pub was 5* from the moment we walked in. Friendly welcoming atmosphere and dog friendly too. With 2 of their own doggies roaming around, both friendly and well behaved! Was a huge plus for us. A gorgeous garden we choose to sit in the comfy seating pergola area. The food was out of the question incredible. Fresh and even catered off the menu for my son. Certainly deserve there award winning title. We are from Cambridgeshire and this is without a doubt the best pub we have ever been in. Thank you so much for such wonderful and genuine hospitality
