Sunday Lunch

There’s nothing quite like a proper Sunday roast. Every week we work with our local butcher to bring in the finest cuts of meat, cooked slow and steady until tender and full of flavour.

We serve roast beef every Sunday, alongside either pork or lamb, with crispy roast potatoes, creamy mash, seasonal vegetables and all the traditional trimmings.

There’s also a vegetarian roast available, and if you fancy something a little different, you can still choose from a selection of dishes from our à la carte menu.

Group Bookings

Whether you’re gathering for a milestone birthday, a family celebration or a weekend away with friends in one of the village holiday cottages, we’re always happy to welcome larger groups.

Our dining room comfortably seats parties of up to 24 guests, with an absolute maximum of 28. Due to the layout of our dining area, groups larger than 12 will usually be seated across two or three tables.

For bookings of 10 or more, we ask for a deposit and pre-orders in advance (excluding Sundays).
