The food is excellent and very good value for money, especially the Sunday lunch menu. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We were seated at a table near the kitchen door, which unfortunately brought a draft of mixed kitchen smells and we could hear the staff singing along to their Christmas music every time the waitress walked in and out. It would be helpful if they could create a short corridor to shield the table from these distractions. They served a nice pint of Pedigree beer. The decor of the room feels very dated, reminiscent of the 1970s, and could benefit from a makeover to attract a younger crowd. Additionally, the cart wheel shaped windows should be updated to clear glass as the current yellow, opaque glass makes them look dirty and obscures the view.

The homely burgers were delicious and the steak Guinness pie was very enjoyable. However, the fish and chips were a bit greasy. They had a nice small selection of ales available. This would be an ideal stop for a quick meal during a day of walking.
