It is a feasting and meeting place for families, clubs and business people, a friendly local pub serving real ales and a superb restaurant where the atmosphere is relaxed whilst the service is impeccable.

The food is wide ranging in its diversity yet consistent in its quality and is complemented by an excellent and comprehensive wine cellar, the province of Edward Boynton.
