This hostelry has been smartened up in line with the gastropub blueprint. Its swanky interiors are now split between a stylish dining area & a relaxed bar. The food is pretty good, with a wide-ranging menu offering something for all moods, tastes & preferences: grazing boards for a catch-up with friends, toasted sausage sandwiches, venison & chorizo burgers or beef, ale & baby onion pie for comfort-food seekers, plus fillet of sea bass with salsa verde & garlic mash or duck breast with Puy lentil & vegetable salad for those after something more upmarket.
