What visitors say

Dined here for a family lunch and we were very impressed with the food. It came quickly and was very tasty, especially the fish of the day (which was seabass). Good gluten free options. Service was fast and efficient, if a little brusque.Lauren Psyk · 5★
We had a really nice evening and the food was good along with the drinks. A lovely old and atmospheric pub and restaurant and well worth a visitRory Coulter · 5★
A quaint spot for some food and a pint. An old and historic pub in Royal Hillsborough that is not to be missed. Lovely atmosphere with good food and drink. The front bar is dog friendly with a larger restaurant out towards the rear.nnThe front bar has an open fire with a stove set within the middle of the restaurant 🔥Jensen A · 5★
