We Say

With some parts dating back to 1156, this labyrinthine inn thoroughly deserves its reputation. The ancient building has a wonderful atmosphere and this is complimented by the excellent food, well-kept real ale and extensive (and expensive) wine list. Although a little on the pricey side, its character and history are unrivalled so we think it’s worth the extra.
