I have been a regular diner at this establishment for sometime but unfortunetly I find that the standards have declined, this is due to very poor portion control and the expensive prices, which exceed that of high class London venues. 2 scallops and a small portion of bacon starter - £11, The house special fish dish fresh Brill, a tablespoon...

Great room, great food, great drinks, great staff and great log fire! More

If you want superb food with incredibly friendly service you must go to the Black Lion. Had lunch there on Saturday 4 February and was so impressed am booking to go back on my Birthday next month.
