Really could not fault our visit. Family of four. Starters and mains. The children loved their food. We have never been before even though lived in Orwell and other villages near by. Will certainly be back again very soon. Was too hungry to take photos before we started so unfortunately I only have pictures of what was left. We were stuffed and the Landlady and young waitresses were great 😁.
Alastair Brown
The food here is second to none and the service is also excellent. I went on one of the first days of decent weather this year which meant the fire wasn't going, but it there was the unmistakable smell of burnt wood which I found lovely!
It's out of the way, but that's what makes it such a great pub, but friendly locals who are more than happy to engage in conversation and make you feel welcome
