We only take table reservations for "the Mess", for parties of between 14 and 20 people. As a country Inn we find reservations restricts us offering our best to everyone who comes to call. We will accommodate you as much as possible and hope you find the ambience and fayre to the highest standards. We rarely have to turn anyone away if your patience can last for 30 minutes or so.
Our wine cave and cellar dates back over 200 years to when the pub was first built. We take time and care to lay down our bottles carefully so you might like to to peruse our wider than average selection, when choosing your meal. We distinguish ourselves from the modern gastro pub image, but rather pride ourselves in the long history and traditional of the English Inn. That Landlord's have thralled ales here for so long is something to absorb while enjoying your meal. We have a interesting range of wines and for the more discerning which is available to also go to here by clicking on the link to the left for this year's exciting new season.
