WOW Food and Amazing Drinks!

natural features warm welcome delicious ciders
The pub is an olde worldie place with many natural features. A warm welcome came from the landlady via telephone! The barman working was fantastic and the customers seemed lovely. I sampled many drinks. There were over nine still ciders plus at least two ciders on tap!
The room was a little tired, but it did not affect my stay.
