What a great team running this pub. Really friendly and great food served. A great spot to stay the night before a flight - couldn’t believe how quiet it was being at the end of a runway pretty much. Thanks for the great service

The food was very good - broad selection, hot and tasty Menu available online prior to visit. Wine was okay - common supermarket brand at hotel price, which the waiter offered us to taste (which seemed a bit silly). Service was very good - attentive without being intrusive and no rush. Prices very reasonable, especially for London. Atmosphere was quiet; country music playing and restaurant not too busy. We had a very pleasant evening.
