An unpromising facade, but pleasant interior. Great value lunch at £11.95 (although the menu had lots of spelling mistakes !). Nice meal of chicken and oriental salmon. Food let down by poor vegetables - very boring cauliflower, broccoli and reheated mangetout.

£31.80 for lunch including 2 glasses of wine.

Renovated pub recommended by ladies who lunch. Ordinary pub food which didn't live up to its promise. Highlight of meal was the great hand cut chips - lowlight was the fried veggie burger.

£22.90 for lunch including 2 drinks
