"We had the mushrooms on toast and the goats cheese and pear starters. The mushrooms were so creamy and tasty and the salad was an excellent size starter.

"For main we had the chicken and pork. The chicken was so moist and the pigs in blankets tasty. The pork crackling was melt in the mouth. Huge portions with such a great selection of veg such as cauliflower cheese, parsnips, carrots etc. Would definitely recommend."
