Had lunch in this place about two hours ago. Been past it a good many times, but last Sunday Eileen (who's judgement in these matters can be trusted) recommended it as an eating place. So we motored over and tried it. It is a real English pub with a bar at one end, a dining room at the other, and a large, cheerful landlord who runs between them and serves both without apparent efford. There is a fire in both rooms (also tended by the landlord). We were assured by said landlord that the food is made and cooked on the premises and it is excellent! We were served good, plain, unfussy, well cooked, English fare; and plenty of it. We had a portion of steak and ale pie and and a helping of shepherds pie, with vegetables, and washed down with I.P.A. bitter, and a bitter shandy (as Ann was driving). We also had pudding- chocolate and raspberry pie, and lemon meringue pie. The whole meal (drinks and a tip included) cast us eighteen pounds (£18) and left us well satisfied. It's a pleasure to find a place like that. Must remember to thank Eileen for the tip.
Really must go and do some work now. More blog later perhaps.

OK...sounds good to me!
Only £18 with a tip!!! Now that is what I call a good pub!
Hi Lori. Yes, it was, in every sense, a good meal.
Hello, 4Ds. Yes, a good pub, good grub, and very reasonable for these days. The odd thing was that during the time we were there, only two of the tables in the dining room were occupied. I just hope it does as well as it deserves. So that in a year's time, tables will have to be booked. We'll see.
