A 16th birthday meal for our grandson. Everything great as it always is at this place - other than a little early hiccup that saw my wife and I standing awkwardly around the entrance to the restaurant for several minutes waiting to be seated. It didn't spoil the evening......

For those of you who have read my review on a so-called Mitchell Wolverhampton restaurant, this wonderful pub shows how it should be done. The unicorn is my idea of a hidden gem, I would say the ideal country pub but modern. Wonderful country location, fantastic friendly staff, and the surprisingly(well, maybe not due to other reviews) wonderful food. Will be going again and taking other family members. Can't comment on desserts as we had our fill and couldn't eat anymore
