Located in a hamlet on a busy road, this is manifestly aiming to be a gastropub, with prices to match. NB: not "fine dining", nor "pub-restaurant", two quite different categories. There is a bar area, however, with a slate-topped counter and comfy chairs, where you are welcome to just have a drink (no dartboard, TV, etc, though). Lots of woodwork on show, decor otherwise in shades of brown, grey and cream. Attentive service. There is an attractive walk to and along the riverbank but few take advantage, with nearly all customers arriving and leaving by car. The early opening times are for breakfast.
