I am now a regular here, love the beef stew, friendly staff and lovely Building.
John
The bread bowls are fantastic, I had the vegetable soup option, tasted great and had really chunky veg in rather than being parade which was a refreshing change. Will be going back soon.

Friendly welcome, great staff and great food, we were a family of four and all had the bread bowls with different soups, we all loved it.

The bread bowl was exceptional! I had the beef stew, one of the best I have ever tasted. Will definitely be back to try the other soups.

Outstanding! Myself and my husband both had the bread bowls, such a great idea and both were delicious, the chicken soup was thick and creamy with chicken pieces in every bite.

Delicious soup served in a bread bowl and a point of beer, need I say more! It was fantastic, cleaned my plate.
James
I have been in a few times now and had all the soups on offer and can honestly say that they are the best soups I have had the pleasure of eating, flavours are out of this world and the bread is just as good. Lovely staff as well with great atmosphere.
