"We strolled in, on a crispy cold day, spent walking a circular loop up on the nearby moors, with an impromptu dip in the icy waters to enliven (and then numb) the senses. Walking into the pub, the atmosphere was immediate and welcoming. It was full. Sunday Lunch on this fresh Sunday had obviously invited punters near and far, however, we headed straight to the bar, warmed by the open log fire, where the kind land lady and her bar staff informed us that there were no tables available at present, however, if we liked, we could sit at the bar. A nearby customer, said he had squeezed onto a long table with his large group of friends/ family, thereby freeing a table of two (our numbers) for us. A great bit of luck as the food looked and smelt great! We sat ourselves down, ordered one beef roast and one pork roast, which came in good time and feasted. What a delight. The portions were hearty. The food delicious. Local beef and local pork proving a fitting choice for this rustic and wholesome pub. Proper! The service was brilliant. Attentive and considered. There is a warmth and pleasantness embodied, which is natural and polite. I would thoroughly recommend coming here for a welcome rest-bite, Sunday lunch and drink by the fire. We will surely visit in the near future!"
