But brace yourself for one thing: the locals. They’re friendly. Too friendly. By your second visit, you’ll know the name of Bob the retired postman and his dog’s opinion on Brexit. It’s a bit like a sitcom, but with better ale.
And the dog policy? Dogs are welcome. My spaniel once upstaged a birthday party by stealing a sausage roll. No one cared. That’s the spirit of this place.
Things That Might Annoy You (Honestly)
Look, no place is perfect. The car park is tiny. I mean, tiny. If you drive a Hummer, good luck. The booking system can be a bit wonky—turn up on a Friday without a reservation and you might end up eating your chips on a windowsill.
The service is usually spot-on, but occasionally you’ll get a waiter who seems to be on a personal journey of discovery. Just smile and wait. Your food will come. Eventually. Maybe order another pint to fill the void.
