"I visited this restaurant on February 25, 2022, based on my wife's recommendations. The staff were wonderful and managed to accommodate us just minutes before their kitchen was closing. I ordered the Welsh dry-aged ribeye, which was cooked to perfection, while my wife had the spigoli al forno (roasted fish). We both enjoyed our meals immensely. The atmosphere was amazing, though I did notice that the nearby parking spots were often full. However, there's an additional parking area just a five-minute walk away. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!"

The staff, especially the man serving us, were very friendly. The buffet was exceptional and we congratulate the restaurant on their outstanding food and drinks. Overall, we give the service a 5 out of 5 rating."

"Very lovely Sunday Dinner. Staff were so nice and helpful, including when dealing with allergies and ingredient sensitivities. More importantly the food was TOP! One of us had a Lamb Roast with Sticky Toffee Pudding and the other had Taragon Cod with Cheesecake. Both dishes were excellent but the size and preparation of the cod was amazing. Delicately Creamy (milk poached? and light with tasty seasoned potatoes and veg. So good. The photo shows the shortest end of the cod. Yes, it was huge."

"It was a wonderful happenstance. We were staying less than half a mile away from the pub, I called in to take a look on the way back to Ty-Cooke (lovely little certified location for caravans) and had a gander at the menu. I started chatting with the clientele who were very friendly and spoke highly of the pie and pint night on Wednesdays. On the strength of this, I booked a table for two, and I'm so glad I did. They had a good selection of beers and wines, so the better half and I were happy. I chose from the specials board and J from the menu. My beef bourguignon was superb, as was the bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with spinach and cream cheese, even the veg was outstanding, especially the red cabbage. Sadly, I was unable to finish it all as the portions were too generous for me, and I wanted to leave space for desert. The creme brulee with a cookie was truly excellent, as was the blackberry cheesecake, just how we both liked it. Not sweet but perfectly balanced with the fruit. We will be back to this location for a stay, and the food here is a major part of that decision. We had no right to expect such exemplary food without doing our research first, and it blew us away, and it wasn't expensive either. If you are in driving distance, you must give it a try, I can guarantee you will waddle away happy."

"I know I'm fighting over the lion, maybe a little too much, but I just have to get my latest experience. we came by Saturday. I was not particularly hungry – I actually thought about one of the £5 snacks. how to have loaded thin chips – but something “new” on the menu caught my eye. So I tried the blue cheese and asparagus pie. Oh, my God. that was undoubtedly one of the best veggie meal I've ever had! They know that feeling when they are fit to burst, but eating is so delicious, they just can't stop eating it? this slightly melted fabric had the perfect balance of ingredients, the cheese and asparagus complement each other as the nature intended. So I wasn't too worried about how the dauphinoise kartoffel, baby carrots and French boons tasted. but yes, they were also on the next level, and the dish really did not need the creamy wild mushroom sauce served separately. but it was so vulnerable, I just couldn't leave it there. there you are. only if they think that a restaurant can no longer surprise them, the lion comes back to trump. can I blue cheese and asparagus pie to breakfast, lunch and dinner, please? every day for the rest of my life."
