Inspector comments
"Skilful modern cooking in a smartly modernised village inn."
Overview
The 21st-century incarnation of this thriving gastropub is seen in a smart interior, some natty bedrooms and a focus on food. That said, real ale is part of the plan, and a few pub classics remain. The kitchen turns out some lively stuff.
