See more about this pub on CAMRA's national web site
A large pub which, although having a public bar complete with wood burner, is very much food led. There are three separate dining spaces, a dining room, a lounge area, and an attractive conservatory looking out over the large lawn. It's also possible to have a view of the remains of Whittington Castle which is very close. All in all, the whole thing is done out comfortably and tastefully. The former off-sales window is noteworthy.
