We are so lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep. A very pleasing menu with something for everyone. The mussels are a family favourite . The staff are all so welcoming and obliging, nothing was a problem. I would highly recommend it for pub grub. They also have a brilliant trad night on Wednesday its worth a visit.

Guest reviews
The Horse & Hound averages 4.5 out of 5 across 702 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
The beer garden out the back is really lovely. Staff were excellent. Had dinner one night and it was fantastic. Nice atmosphere, good service and delicious food. Highly recommend.
The steps were so steep and narrow it was impossible to carry our suit cases up. Had to down load to back pack. Thankfully we had those. Room key was the old skeleton that anyone could get in. The restaurant service was the worst could not get orders taken. Just plan disappointed.
