"We wanted to take my mother out for her birthday, but with my wife being vegan, we often struggle to find suitable options on pub menus. Additionally, we needed wheelchair access for my mother. We called the restaurant the day before and were assured that there would be vegan options and that access wouldn't be an issue.
Upon arrival, we discovered that the staff had provided helpful ramps, making it much easier for my mother to move around. I want to extend a special thank you to all the staff. For those who use wheelchairs, they will find no friendlier place than this!
The pub itself is beautiful, clean, and very child-friendly. There’s a lovely play area in the back that seemed to be quite popular. We were welcomed into the green room where a table was set up for us. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. We later learned that Julian, who took great care of us, was the manager. He was fantastic, even under pressure.
Now, let’s talk about the food. This is classic British pub fare – not gourmet, but better for it and definitely a great value. My wife had the Monmouthshire baked dish and said it was absolutely delicious. I had stuffed red peppers that were spicy and packed with tasty ingredients like cashews and breadcrumbs, all served with thick chips that I usually don't enjoy, but these were perfect. My mother had a lamb dinner with Yorkshire pudding. We all agreed the portions were generous and each meal was thoroughly enjoyable.
Just a little secret: we couldn’t resist dessert and ended up ordering the sticky toffee sponge pudding with custard, which we three thoroughly enjoyed.
So thank you all – my mother had a lovely day, and we will definitely be returning soon. I highly recommend calling ahead. The level of service and friendliness was unmatched. They went above and beyond, with the chef accommodating my wife’s vegan needs, so a big thank you to the chef as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. Give them a call and go check it out!""
