This was our first time at the Courthouse Hotel. We have been following on social media for some time and decided we needed to give you a go.An easy 40 minute drive from home so great for a day out.We weren’t disappointed. The decor is old style pub done well. Pleased to see Guinness on tap, in our eyes that’s always a winner.We were met at the front bar by Lachie and shown through to our table which I had booked, which on reflection for a quiet Friday lunchtime probably wasn’t necessary.We both ordered a pint of Guinness and fish and chips. The food was piping hot ✅ the fish was so fresh and delicious with amazingly good crunchy non oily batter ✅ the chips hit and crunchy ✅ and the accompanying salad looked like it had just been made and again fresh and delicious ✅. On the strength of our time we will definitely be back and telling our local friends they need to visit.
