Just ask...

“The Trooper’s Sunday Roast is absolutely superb! It was beyond fault, both for quality and presentation, and we were very pleasantly surprised by the intimacy and cosiness of this little pub – a rare gem indeed! It is quite small inside (although there is outdoor dining for those who prefer that). Thus, there isn’t the type of Sunday Roast ‘pick & mix’ buffet one is accumstomed to in many pubs; the main course is ‘plated up’ and served complete at one’s table, but it is none the worse for that. To say that the portions are gargantuan is an understatement, well presented and cooked to perfection. No inedible al dente vegetables at The Trooper!” Hugh. March 2025.
