    Godfather burger was fantastic, motorhomes welcome to stay overnight if you eat in the pub. Arrived at 1, parked up, wandered into Kendall, had a few drinkies, (pint of Guinness and large wine was under 9), nothing to add to that Back to Duke for evening meal, with another few drinkies. Back to motorhome for a decent night's sleep. Cushtie.

    Lovely food, amazing onion gravy. Good value for the food especially the sides. Drinks are also very affordable. The music were nostalgic 2000s bops and I was loving it.
