Fairly busy in the restaurant area at lunchtime - no space outside as a marquee was being erected for the landlord's marriage on Saturday! Anyway we had a good meal with pleasant service.

First time that we have been in since there was a change of management last November. Not too busy on this Monday lunchtime. However we had a reasonably priced 2 course meal with friendly service.

Evening visit fairly quiet, pub caters more for diners than drinkers but usually a couple of well kept beers on to complement one's meal such as tonight.

Fairly busy in the eating areas when we arrived just after noon but was soon packed. We had a good meal, with friendly service, despite the increasing numbers to be served.
