Food is reasonably priced, Dogs and horses are allowed, and water provided, The Pub is right in the forest and great for for walks. Great Beer, what is not to like.

We met friends here for lunch today. My bacon and cheese burger was excellent, as was the whitebait my wife chose. The staff were helpful and a few checked that everything was to our satisfaction.

Lovely location, wonderful restaurant. The restaurant itself was very clean, very helpful and lovely staff, Fast serving yet all food home made and was really tasty. We will be coming back again. Family friendly too.
