Food is served noon-3pm and 6pm-9pm (noon-9pm on Sundays). See website for the current menu. On the till system, the options for "how would you like your steak" starts at "blue". They do a fine (vegan) nut roast on Sundays as well as the usual meat options. The food is always excellent, and good value as well. Vegan and vegetarian options are marked on the menu. |

In May 2008, the menu included three vegetarian options and three additional vegan/veganable options, plus a vegan dessert (rhubarb, pear, or blackberry crumble served with sorbet, £5). However, [[Bob]] tried the sirloin steak (£12.50) <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2479027668/ photo]</small> and [[Kake]] had the fish pie (£8.50) <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2479039822/ photo]</small>; the fish pie was very good, obviously Real Food made on the premises, and came with some very nicely-cooked vegetables and a scattering of dill seeds. |
