What Our Previous Guests Have Said About Their Stay

Outstanding wee country pub. Steak is out the gate, one of the best steaks I've ever had. The Speight's pours well too.

Great food. Popped in on our way back from Alexandra and got a couple of burgers! Delicious. Also got some of their famous pies to put in the freezer. Ate them over a month and enjoyed every one of them! Definitely worth the hype.
