This is a lovely pub that is just as it should be. Its location makes one think you are in a small village rather than a town and there is no snobbery (inverse or otherwise) about the clientele - just a lovely mix of people. Inside the pub has two front rooms with a variety of table sizes and only a modest nod towards pub-tat. At the rear is a games room (pool table and darts as I remember), an extra couple of tables in the conservatory and a garden: currently closed so that grass seed has a chance to germinate.

One thing that makes this pub is the food; perhaps the headline would be that it is all vegetarian, but the real story here is that it is freshly cooked on the premises to a really high standard. Even this habitual carnivore stops noticing that it's all veggie and simply enjoys what is among the best pub food he knows.

Not to be confused with the Gardener's Arms (North Parade).

This is a lovely pub that is just as it should be. Its location makes one think you are in a small village rather than a town and there is no snobbery (inverse or otherwise) about the clientele - just a lovely mix of people. Inside the pub has two front rooms with a variety of table sizes and only a modest nod towards pub-tat. At the rear is a games room (pool table and darts as I remember), an extra couple of tables in the conservatory and a garden: currently closed so that grass seed has a chance to germinate.

Beer was good too, but I obviously drank too much of it cos I can only remember the Black Sheep which was on, but wasn't what I was drinking. Make sure you ask for the pint and a half glasses that they have hidden away...
