Our first visit to the Three Tuns for several years and we were very impressed. The food was very good, as was the range of food offered. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. The Jail Ale was very good and the quality of both the red and white wines was excellent. This place has massively improved since our last visit several years ago. We would certainly recommend the Three Tuns. It is a very welcoming place with excellent customer service.
