Testimonials

Absolute best pub in the area. The sunday roast is amazing and you may also want to have a glass of rose in the garden when the sun is shining!

Emmanuel Arendarczyk

Best Sunday beef roast in London!! Being a Yorkshiremen I’ve had my fair share of Yorkshire puddings… these are by far the best I’ve ever had! Crispy edges and fluffy centre… absolutely delicious to mop up the thick, rich beef gravy. Top notch!!

Paul Watson

I love the feeling inside this place. Friendly is not enough to explain how they make you feel here. Good EVERYTHING!
