The real ale bar with its log fire fueled cosy atmosphere, large sweeping settles and sturdy oak tables provides an English pub setting for you to sit back, relax and take in our famous cuisine which is laid bare on our chalked up menu boards ready for your taste buds to be tantalised.

Late Sunday afternoon lunch today in the bar. Cosy with open fire and still nicely busy at 3.30pm. Friendly, prompt service, linen napkins and excellent good quality bread and butter a bonus. Duck and blackberry and celeriac; sausage, potato, poached egg and salad starters really very good; roast beef; confit of lamb with all the trimmings the best we’ve had in ages. The chocolate mousse was also excellent. The perfect Sunday afternoon. We will be returning- thank you!
