People come for the amazing views. You can see the mountains from where we are based. We offer fantastic local ales and food-wise we offer traditional pub grub.

A review from this month (July 2024) wrote: “Amazing Sunday dinner. It was probably the best Sunday dinner I’ve had. Massive portion and the cauliflower cheese and red cabbage were to die for.

There is a selection of local ales on offer. (Image: Google Maps) A review from last month (June 2024) said: “Very friendly staff and lovely seating area on the village green with great views. The food was very good. That was probably the best fish pie we’ve ever had.

“Also, our two chaps had the homemade chicken curry, which was very large and full of tasty tender chicken. I would highly recommend this place. Everything was served with a smile.”

Another review from June added: “Absolutely fantastic! We had two roast beef dinners and a roast pork dinner last Saturday. I couldn’t fault it.

“It was full of flavour, perfectly cooked and presented. Veg was plentiful and proper roast potatoes makes a nice change.

“All the staff were polite, friendly and welcoming. The chef came out to ask the diners if everything was ok and took the time to have a quick chat with everyone which was nice. A really lovely pub and great food.”
