We went to a Christmas party. The hot buffet was lovely, very nice food! I'm wheat and gluten and intolerant, but there was plenty that I could eat. The barmaid put out all the food, it would've been nice to see a smile and she seemed a bit put out when a few asked for a coffee with the mince pies lol!

Near Shirenewton but on the main road. Good access . Plenty of parking . Old fashioned pub . But the food is home cooked and tastes delicious . Managed a pudding that was lovely . Well worth a visit. Did not take advantage of the rooms there but the restaurant was clean and tidy , with good old fashioned welcome by the landlady .
