The menu is small but very well done. We had a couple of small plates and they were delicious.
We walked in on new year's day without a booking and, although the place was full, the landlady was incredibly warm and welcoming, and found us a spot at the bar by the fire. She was patiently and diligently training a new starter who was also excellent.
The interior is comfortable, with enough 'proper pub' to satisfy traditionalists and just enough 'gastro' to satisfy a younger crowd. I loved that the plates were mismatched and seemed to be collected over years - it was a nice addition to the personality of the pub.
Now onto the food. Bravo. So good. We had fried chicken pieces and wings with chips, coleslaw, mac n cheese and olives. Portions were generous and we were pleasantly surprised at the bill at the end. We couldn't bring ourselves to drink alcohol due to the night we'd had before but the range of beers looked great and sitting at the bar we overheard great things about the Bloody Mary's.
We stupidly forgot to tip but I want to spend every hangover eating everything here so we will be back time and time again.
