It was very quiet but a lovely place. 2 out of 3 of the dishes served were brilliant, the fish pie might not be for everyone. Would definitely go back again

We've just our valentines meal at the Sparrowhawk in front of their open fire. I have to say the food was gorgeous and the service was excellent. The head of service was very attentive and most welcoming. I had the rib eye steak with the blue cheese sauce and my partner had the fish and chips.

Sunday roast is nice! They also had the on day special Salt & Pepper Squid, nicely plated which did not disappoint. The pub is dog-friendly indoor too!
