The upstairs restaurant is ideal for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or just getting groups of friends together.

Our Customer Feedback
“It is a hidden gem and the food and service was excellent.”
Simon B – Tripadvisor 2015
“It’s a lovely old quaint building steeped in history, with the restaurant area located at the back and down a couple of steps in a sort of cellar area, all low beams, oak furniture, and brick walls, absolutely stunning.”
Michelle W – Tripadvisor 2015
“The inventive menu uses local produce, cooked to perfection and is served in front of a roaring fire in the tastefully decorated dining room.”
Robert E – Tripadvisor 2015
“The menu is outstanding We decided on perfectly cooked beef in a brandy cream and mushroom sauce, served with chunky chips (the best I’ve had) and crunchy veg. I finished off with Rhubarb & Custard Creme Brulee with ginger shortbread biscuit, and my Hubby had Tarte Tatin with Wensleydale Icecream – all of it just divine”
