Lovely gastropub, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings. We dined here on two consecutive nights in May. The food was delicious, freshly prepared and of a high standard. The service was attentive but not fussy. The staff were really keen to ensure a good experience. Plenty of choice on the menu and the kitchen were were flexible with substitutions. Great choices of guest ales and beers, obviously a popular spot with locals and visitors alike. We would definitely return when visiting again. Superb location with excellent views especially from the decking areas when the sun is shining. No strict dress code and dogs welcome, so you can come in straight after a day out walking with no fear of feeling underdressed. The decor enhanced the surroundings and was in keeping with the ambience of the old building. Superb place, wish there were more like it.
