“ The lunch was delicious, large portions, service and presentation good. A good varied selection to suit most preferences. ”
“ We decided to eat here after an 8 hour drive through France, arriving via the Eurotunnel and just wanted somewhere cosy, dog friendly with good food. We trusted our fellow Google reviewers, and are glad we did. We phoned to book and on arriving were offered a choice of tables to make sure our dog was as comfortable as possible. Having spent 6 weeks in warm Spanish weather, the food here was just what we needed to cope with the cold January weather. Parsnip and chilli soup for me, and pea & ham soup for my husband. Evidently freshly home made, packed with flavour and a good large bowl. We both chose pies for mains - one steak & ale, the other chicken & ham - couldn't fault them, packed with filling, fresh pastry topping, piping hot. If we hadn't had starters we might have had room for desserts. Prices are decent, atmosphere is pleasant, a mix of people eating and others just in for a drink. Decor traditional and a very welcoming team of staff. ”
“ Found the staff to be very helpful and accommodating so thank you The Butt of Sherry We were 6 adults, 2 babies and a large dog booked for Sunday lunch on 31 August. We were put in a back room with a sturdy spacious table. Not squashed together which always helps. The Sunday roast was excellent and plentiful. Lots of good fresh veg, good roast potatoes so Well Done Thank you once again. It may not be the fanciest of establishments but its honest and very good food. Would definitely return ”
“ We found this place on a walk around. Its a great traditional pub and very clean. This is just good old pub food,so if your looking for fine dinning look else were. The wife and I had Beer battered Fish and Chips with a large coke and a pint of Fosters. We also had a starter of olives which were lovely.The service was very good, the wife needed more Tartar sauce which was bought instantly. All in all the pub and atmosphere made us very happy and relaxed. Ok I have to mention, I would of had to the 10 oz rump steak but quota for the day had been scoffed by other lucky customers. The wife said we will go there again so may be I'll get to to sample the 10oz Rump. All good ”
“ Great music in the background too. All 80s. Like the scissors to open the ketchup etc. little touches like that make all the difference. ”
