Extract from The Good Pub Guide 2006:
‘This charming old 17th-c brick pub deserves accolade for the high all round praise it wins from readers. It’s obviously superbly run, and though emphasis is on the very good imaginative menu, this lovely old building still makes a delightful place for a civilised drink. Using local produce where possible, food is served by charmingly efficient staff.’

Commenting on the pub’s success editor Fiona Stapley said “The award-winning county dining pubs represent some of the best pub food in the country, with outstanding cooking by dedicated chefs who put enormous energy and imagination into creating delicious meals using top quality, locally sourced produce. Many certainly rank alongside some of the country’s most respected restaurants”
