A great hotspot the recent photos on here does not do it justice, we went today and had lunch it was stunning full of flavour would definitely go back before we leave our holiday. Lucky to be a local to this pub great facilities and staff were helpful and accommodating. Would recommend the open sandwich and parmesan truffle chips....yum! Thank you for having us! X

Dropped in on a Friday lunch time with my wife and this was a very good decision. Greeted warmly as we walked in and taken straight to a table for lunch. Lots of choice on the menu from sandwiches and baguettes to full blown meals. We opted for the open sourdough sandwiches which was an excellent choice. I had the steak and my wife had the garlic prawn, both were excellent and large in size with plenty of the main ingredient plus a very good salad and dressing all on an excellent piece of griddled sourdough. My steak was cooked perfectly, nice and tender and very tasty. All the staff were very friendly and the service was top notch, couldn’t fault it. Will definitely be coming back for lunch and would highly recommend it as well.

Absolutely beautiful place, inside and out. The views at the back are fabulous. The owners are very 'hands-on' which adds to the fantastic friendly atmosphere. It's a very welcoming place with friendly staff and locals and dogs are as welcome as all 2 legged customers. They provide drinks for them too! The food is delicious with a menu accommodating all dietary requirements
