This fine pub (and 'emporium') has been run by the McCormack family since 1960. It's one of the neatest pubs around, with trees and shrubbery between the car park and an imaginative conservatory extension at the back of the pub, effectively screening the car park and allowing for an attractive outdoor eating/drinking space beside the conservatory; with large tables and outdoor heaters, it is an appealing area.
The main part of this well-run pub is full of character, and bar food cooked to order includes fresh fish available on the day as well as classics like home-made hamburger (with mixed leaf salad, fries and a choice of toppings), hot sandwiches and salads.
At lunchtime there is a carvery but evening menus offer more interesting food including tasty light dishes like warm crispy bacon and croûton salad, and steak sandwiches alongside more substantial dishes including a fish special, a 10 oz sirloin steak or pasta dishes with fresh parmesan.
