"Appearances can be so deceptive. From the utside this is an unprepossessing and down-at-heel country put where the only food on offer would be a bag of crisps. The inside is a transformation though: clean, modern and with an extensive menu. Amd what a menu: at least four types of fish and meat, starters and sharers in abundance and even more than the usual one vegetarian option. Enough desserts to satisfy any craving. The menu descriptions were good and what we saw coming out made us want to try all of it. We visited twice and worked our way through the venison, the duck, and the fish (skate) as mains and the Camembert and the smoked fish starters and the chocolate dessert. All were first class: well cooked, generous portions and, with the mains, plenty of vegetables. The potatoes we found particularly good. Service was speedy but not rushed and staff excellent. The beer was good and well-kept. Prices were very reasonable we thought: about for two. Downsides? None really, except that it's off-the-beaten track. But don't let this put you off: find this lovely little pub, enjoy the menu and go home feeling replete and contented. We did. Twice."
