About Good Companions

A big, rambling neighbourhood pub with several separate eating areas, so there's usually somewhere to park a pram without blocking anyone. The gardens are the draw — one out the back with booths and heat lamps, one more open at the front — and the upstairs function room works well if you're a big group with children in tow. Sunday roasts are the thing to come for: huge servings, cheese and leek croquettes, properly good gravy, a kids' portion around £16, plus veggie, vegan and low-gluten options. Weekday food leans fried and heavy, so manage expectations. It fills up from about 1pm on Sundays, so book or come early. Service can be hit and miss — friendly and quick some visits, slow to notice you on others. High chairs, buggy access, free parking, and children welcome until around 8pm.
