“What stands out is the genuine welcome, not just for guests but even for those stopping by with dogs; it felt like the kind of place where you could quickly become a regular. The food seems to hit the mark, too, especially the pizzas, which are made with care and fresh ingredients; the friendly, attentive team clearly makes a difference. This is a promising village pub.”
