Delicious food, great service, wheelchair-friendly

We had lunch here. The food was excellent and the service was good. My husband said the burger was one of the best he'd ever had. We entered by the front door where there is a little slope down to the restaurant. The short passageway is very narrow but I managed in my manual wheelchair. We then found out that there is a flat entrance to the bar at the side of the building. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. The bar is comfortable and also has a good accessible toilet. There is a good sized carpark at the rear of the Inn. Would definitely recommend a visit and will go back again.
