What a great place, lovely staff and amazing food. We have ordered pizza and fish and chips. Everything was perfect, food was outstanding and prices were reasonable. The owner is lovely too, pizza was cooked from scratch. Kids cleared their plates out (and they are fussy eaters). Thank you

Very nice Devon Steak Pies . Lovely hot chocolate. Good service. Clean and tidy. Dog friendly. Rainy today, so not a lot of foot traffic. Exactly the way I like it. Highly recommend.
