We have never been disappointed when visiting Stines. The staff are lovely and are able to answer any questions. The ambience is pleasant - music in the background is not intrusive. The food is excellent - creative and prepared to perfection. Portions are exactly the right size and presentation is elegant.

We had the 3 course market lunch which was superb, good value and in lovely surroundings. We have been here several times before and will undoubtedly go again. When the food at most British pubs seems to consist of burgers or reheated ready meals, it is a refreshing change to enjoy some proper cooking of fresh food at a reasonable price.
