Food scene
Our wonderful village pub, open for breakfast, lunch and supper. As well as the pub menu they also make their own bread that you can order. Have a woodfired pizza oven that you can eat at the pub or take away and fish and chips to eat in or take away. They also have their own micro brewery. This is just across the lane from the cottage. Booking a table at weekends is recommended.
