Routine Chef and Brewer remarkably busy at 6pm on a weekday. Decent sized area as you enter occupied by locals using it as a pub, with the rest of the building set up for dining as you progress further back. Most of the bar area is furnished with high tables in standard GK style, hopeless if you are a wheelchair user, fortunately we found an unreserved table. Spot on TT Landlord prettily served, usual GK suspects on the other pumps.
Fine for what it is, and clearly has a respectable local following as well as those enjoying their freezer to microwave dinners.

Typical Chef & Brewer pub serving a choice of 4 ales. A decent pint of Silhill Blonde Star. I even remembered to get my Camra discount!

Attractive old main building with several more recent extensions surrounded by tidy landscaping. The multi-room interior has been partially opened-out and refurbished in the usual light Chef & Brewer style with a mix of furniture. Very much food-led, as you would expect, with about 2/3rds of the tables laid-up for dining. Substantial beer garden to one side. Four real ales on handpump: Abbot, Landlord, the local Silhill Blonde Star and Pennine Howzat IPA (£3.35, less 10% Camra discount).
