Unassuming from the outside, quaint traditional British pub appearance on the inside. The pub-food fare was tasty but the highlight was the curries which were better than you would find in an Indian restaurant; we can heartily recommend the lentil curry. The reason is that the place is run by a Sri Lankan family who bring their culinary heritage to the menu. As vegetarians we would always welcome more vegetarian options but this was still excellent. Additionally the service was rapid and the atmosphere was friendly yet unobtrusive.

This place if you haven't been here is an absolute whee gem.Great place for a cold beer or coffee sitting on the elevated balcony overlooking out over a small woodland of trees, a beautiful and private sunny area. Although there is ample seating available inside, a great whee bar and a menu that will satisfy everyone which includes a pizza menu too.Dishna the proprietor is a FOH superstar and is always there to greet you with the warmest smile and makes you feel so welcome.We decided to have a meal there .And ordered the Blue cod meal and a House Fav Pizza ( created by Dishnah) Chicken, Feta cranberries and fresh rosemary was absolutely devine.The Blue cod was fresh and moist and the batter crispy .....So if you want somewhere to go to in the weekend or any day at all . I highly recommend this place .You will not be disappointed.
