Sunday lunch is the main event here — roasts arriving piping hot with massive Yorkshire puddings, plenty of veg, jugs of gravy on the table and a cauliflower cheese with leeks that people talk about long afterwards. Portions are generous enough that children can share, and the kitchen handles gluten-free requests without fuss. Midweek is quieter and the Italian-style tapas is a genuine bargain at three dishes for £14.95 — arancini, ragu and the tiramisu get particular praise, as do the fish and chips. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access make the logistics easy, and the beer garden is lovely in the sun, though the tables out there are rickety enough to keep an eye on. Staff cope well with big family parties. Book ahead for Sundays; live music on Saturdays means evenings get lively.
