Best roast we've had in years. Kev remembered we came for our anniversary last time – that's the kind of place this is.

Stayed in the Market Square Room. Yes, you can hear the pub below – but honestly? That's part of the charm. Brilliant breakfast too.

Thursday quiz has become our thing. Dom's questions are properly hard but fair. And the chips are dangerously good.
