"My husband and I visited this restaurant while staying at the lakeside campsite and what a fantastic discovery!! On Saturday, we decided to try the food without a reservation, and they said we could have a table in 45 minutes. We chose the £30 steak sharing platter, with the option to add mussels for surf and turf. We were both impressed by the amount of meat provided in the steak platter, as well as the garlic mushrooms, seasoned fries, burnt onion, and peppercorn sauce. The peppercorn sauce was creamy and delicious, just the way I like it. The mussels came with garlic bread on the side, perfect for soaking up the sauce! They were the tastiest mussels I've had in years. For dessert, we had apple blackberry pie with custard ice cream, which was also delicious. We enjoyed the food so much that we booked for Sunday lunch, which was just as amazing! We both chose the beef, served with roast potatoes, beetroot, carrots, parsnips, greens, and Yorkshire puddings. My husband said it was the best Sunday lunch he's ever had. The beef was cooked perfectly, and we loved everything that came with it. Both meals were excellent value for money (especially the steak sharing platter!). We live just over an hour away, but we will definitely return just for the food! The service from the owner and waitresses was also outstanding. It's a lovely, friendly pub that is clearly popular with the locals."
