  Charming place in a nice country setting. We stopped in for lunch, and were surprised to see so many people eating, as it seems like it is out in the middle of nowhere. We caught a glimpse of other people's food and our low expectations were raised.
  
  My homemade soup was delicious, and were the other starters we ate. The quality of the food is certainly above average, and the rustic charm adds character to the dining experience.

  Lovely location next to the canal, building and decor are clean and tidy and the staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the lunch time food wasn't quite up to scratch.
  We shared a starter plate of Warm Rustic Breads, Olives, Sunblushed Tomatoes, Hummus and Baba Ganoush (£6.95) which was quite nice, but there wasn't enough bread and what there was had been sliced and then warmed so it was dry and crunchy on the outside, which wasn't nice.
  I followed this with Butchers Faggots on Smoked Mash, with a Sweet Red Wine and Onion Jus, Crisp Bacon and Peas (£13.95): the faggots had way too much filler and not enough meat so they were more like large dry stuffing balls, the mash was OK, although I didn't notice the smoke flavour, and the peas partially dried out but the onion gravy was sweet, but otherwise quite nice.
  The second main was a starter portion of a Char grilled Chicken & Bacon Caesar, Romaine Lettuce, Croutons & Anchovies (£6.95) this didn't have much Caesar dressing, too many croutons and an overriding taste of fish, perhaps because of the huge number of anchovies on the plate (see picture).
  Rather disappointing!
