A steady, grown-up sort of place that still makes room for children — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, so the arrival faff is minimal. The atmosphere is the draw: relaxed, cosy, background music kept low enough that a chattier toddler won't stand out, and the decor is genuinely lovely. Portions are generous for the price, and the things people go back for are the Sunday roast, the garlic mushrooms, haddock and chips and the melt-in-your-mouth beef. Two honest notes: it gets busy, so book rather than chance it, and service can stretch long — one table spent nearly two hours over lunch happily, but with restless children that's worth planning around. Starters can be small for what they cost. One regular calls it "a favourite place to eat".
