Nice old pub on the high street serving food and offering rooms. It’s got a couple of ales on. The main room seems to be the oldest part of the main building. There’s another lounge with spurts on and also outside sheltered seating. Only popped in for a half on my travels. Most enjoyable
Grabbed a quick lunch today....delicious hot beef in baguette.
Popped in for a drink on a cold January day. The pub was warm and comfortable. The beers were delicious.
Great little stop for lunch! Food came out quickly and efficient! Thank you :) ignore bad reviews not sure what they were talking about. Thank you!
Lovely friendly staff. Breakfast and evening meals were very good.
Just had a superb, really tasty, filling Carvery from here sat out the back with the wet dog. And the price was even better, I’d happily have paid £10 each for it. It does get busy right from the off but plenty of seating inside and outside. Beers good too. If you’re in the area on a Sunday drop in for one!
A large Grade II listed three star hotel that started life as a coaching inn in the mid 17th century. There are two large rooms, one containing the main bar and in the other a cosy lounge bar with leather sofas and a wood panelled fireplace. The interior retains a timber frame, heavily beamed entrance hall. Various different floor levels and panelled doors of varying sizes are found throughout the hotel. Food is served all day up to 9pm. Note the imposing Red Lion that is situated above the front door. The guest beers are normally from local breweries.
Lovely little pub to stop off for some lunch. Very cosy, cheap prices and amazing home cooked food! Staff were very friendly too!
