Impromptu stop early evening on the way East due to heavy traffic on the A12. Dozens of cars but the place was less than half full - very efficient food service and a reasonable choice. Good service. Very much a food pub but patio areas outside and a small drinking area inside with comfy leather armchairs
- not being used.
