I had read a lot of good press about this community pub, rescued by the locals after it was shut. Would it live up to the hype? Well, the resounding answer to this was yes! We turned up on a Saturday lunchtime without a booking and despite it being busy were squeezed in in the upstairs dining area. The food and beer was excellent, very reasonably priced and James and his staff very friendly and attentive. All four of us had different meals and I chose the sausage and mash, which was superb. This is my benchmark for pub food. Any pub can do bangers band mash, but only a chosen few do it really well.

My best recommendation is will be back!
