"It’s a really good pub in a great location with a large beer garden, where the previous owners didn’t do the place justice. But happily, there is a new family in place to manage the business now, who have great experience and are local to the area. We (3 adults and 2 children) visited on the re-opening evening and had two-course meals. The meals were excellent quality and although the kitchen was quite busy, there was very little waiting time. The waiting staff were attentive, but not overly so, and although casually dressed, were very clean and smart. Noting that our visit was on their reopening evening, the decor was very clean and fresh. The lounge bar could do with ‘dressing’,as it seemed a little ‘unfinished’, but I expect this will develop over time. I had no call to use the toilets on this occasion. We visited in the evening, so didn’t get a good look at the outside areas. However there is a reasonably sized car park, which appeared well lit. However, the walk from the front door of the pub to the carpark, is not particularly well lit, and needs improvement. Generally the outside appearance needs sprucing up, but don’t be put off by this, as a warm welcome awaits."
