"Found this gem of a pub whilst looking at Layer Marney tower. Popped in for Sunday lunch after visiting the tower and wow what a lovely surprise. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our roast lunch and dessert and the price was very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and we left feeling very full and happy that we had found such a lovely place to eat. We will definitely be visiting again soon, even though it's over 30 miles away. A big thank you to the team and chef for the warm welcome and lovely food."

Brilliant service and excellent food for eight gentlemen. Three courses plus coffee and mince pies. We agreed it was the best Christmas meal we had eaten this season. We have eaten breakfast and dinner here and always had a good meal and at a good price.

Visited last night for the Christmas set menu, the food was absolutely lovely there was so much of it. Every member of staff we met were super friendly and really went the extra mile to ensure we had a lovely time. Really could not recommend highly enough. Please just visit, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a great evening, see you again soon!

Phoned this pub to see if they could accommodate about 40 people for brunch the day after my daughter’s wedding. Everyone wanted to watch the women’s World Cup semi final match with England playing. What an amazing find this pub was. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. There were lots of televisions and even a great garden for my two grandsons. Can’t praise this pub enough.

A hidden gem and we'll worth a visit. One of the best Sunday lunches I have had with a choice of beef, pork, lamb,chicken, mixed meat, salmon or a nut roast. I went for the beef and my wife the pork. Both cooked to perfection and served on a plate with a Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and roast potatoes Vegetables and gravy were plentiful and served separately along with any required sauces and everything was piping hot. We will most definitely be going back.
