Booked a table for four for my wife and I and our friends. Saw the menu on the website and having been before expected no problem ordering vegetarian for my wife and I. How wrong we were. No vegetarian option in the main menu and hardly anything on the bar menu. The staff agreed that there was little vegetarian on... More

Called in for lunch at The Griffin and it was very pleasant indeed. Nice friendly staff and the sort of food you used to get in pubs years ago before they were invaded by "chains" serving pre packed and sealed junk. The food was "real" food for local suppliers and the chef had prepared it especially for us rather than... More

The staff quite often make a place and... More

The food seems to be very well priced although we didnt eat there. We stayed one night in a very comfortable room with ensuite. The decor and linens... More

We just happened to turn up one Sunday afternoon without booking, they fitted us in a table for two with no problems....very hospitable. My wife and I had prawn cocktail for starters......gorgeous!... followed by a traditional Sunday lunch of Roast beef. Can't fault the food or drinks, and the service was very good. Polite and courteous, very good value for... More
