Excellent Sunday Lunch with superb service. Neutral decor with great ambience and background music. Slightly disappointed we were only visiting for the weekend and can’t see a return visit in the near future!

A small group out for a Sunday roast turned into 10 people (including kids) & the pub couldn’t have been more accommodating. It was exactly the afternoon we didn’t know we needed. Excellent roast and great service from all. Will absolutely be coming again, feels like we have stumbled on a little gem. Thank you

On Saturday 29th March, my best friend and I went to The Florence for lunch, and honestly, it was just what we needed. We were shown to a lovely, clean table straight away, and the decor is absolutely beautiful — it really sets the tone. We ordered food and cocktails, and everything was just as good as it looked. The cocktails were gorgeous, and what I really loved was that we didn’t feel rushed at all. It genuinely felt like we could just sit back, relax, and enjoy our time properly. We ended up having a really good catch-up, getting a lot off our chests — and it turns out that was exactly what we both needed. The waitress was brilliant; she gave us space but checked in at just the right times to make sure we were okay. The staff overall were attentive without being overbearing, which made such a difference. We didn’t even realise how much time had passed — we were there from 1:30 in the afternoon until 7:30 in the evening, which says it all really. Food was exceptional, the owner was lovely, the staff were polite and on it, and the decor just ties it all together x

A group of us visited for the first time to try out the Sunday roast. We all agreed that it had to be one of the best Sunday roasts we had ever had. The beef was exceptional, as was the pork, and the vegetables were stunning. Pudding was delicious too. The service was faultless, and we will definitely be returning.
