Booked for a large group dinner on Saturday night - pizza was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive. Super busy and quite loud on Saturday night so I'd recommend booking for dinner if you can!

Excellent pizzas and friendly staff. We didn't book but arrived early so we were able to get one of the few tables that wasn't reserved. I'd definitely recommend booking. Good spot

Had lunch here. They had a good selection and were able to modify things to suit dietary requirements. Plenty of different pizza to choose as well as hot and cold sandwiches, add other pub classics. We sat outside, though it is right on the main road so can be noisy.

Called in for breakfast before a day's walking in the area. The staff were great and the full English breakfast was amazing. Super quality, great selection and a good quantity. Will definitely be back. Would 100% recommend the breakfast.

A very busy pub with lots of outside seating. Very dog friendly and a great place to stop after a long walk.

Was passing this Inn and stopped for evening meal. Superb fresh calamari followed by really tasty thin based pizza freshly prepared on the premises. Whilst really busy on the night they still managed to service all the tables. Recommended if your in the area.

We popped in for lunch and a pint today and it was so lovely! Both servers we had the pleasure of dealing with were fabulous, super chatty and loved our doggies, giving them lots of love and treats. Had the sausage and mash, the chicken ciabatta and two pints of Guinness and it was just what we needed after a long walk. Thank you team!
