Lovely pub, lovely staff and lovely food. Everyone was nice and friendly and the owner was a really nice bloke.We asked for a specific meal of lobster, steak, muscles & squid which was no problem and the owner ordered the fish in for us fresh the next night for our dinner. If you want anything ask and he can get it.We can’t wait to go back 😁.

The hotel room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained and the bar and restaurant were wonderful and fun as well. More importantly the owner and staff showed wonderful hospitality and we’re all incredibly kind and welcoming. I’m visiting England from the states and this was by far my favorite hotel I’ve been to here. All of the workers are really wonderful people. I highly recommend staying here for your visit.

My wife and visited the wayfarers today for my birthday. The food was exceptional and high quality. The staff were brilliant, friendly, happy and smiling. They took time to talk with us and make our visit relaxed and enjoyable. They are a credit to themselves and the pub.

First time we have eaten here. Bar is friendly and great beer garden. I had garlic prawns OMG the amount of garlic was inedible, raw garlic and a whole bowl of it. Not good. My partners Halloumi burger was good but the chips were over salted, he struggled to eat them. Staff sympathetic but no compensation given or much interest when I mentioned how awful my meal was. Disappointed
