   Most disappointing. Staff polite but food awful!!! Pie mediocre. The pastry was like trying to cut plastic,rock hard. The peas had been microwaved within a mm of their life and the fries were inciped! The gravy well????? No care or attention to detail anywhere!! Yet again no leadership or ownership to be seen. Must be sole destroying for the bar staff. Never again.

   Although we booked in advance, we were never informed that the menu would be drastically reduced. When we arrived at 5pm, the restaurant was quiet with only two other tables occupied. Despite this, we waited 45 minutes before anyone came to our table, and only after requesting menus ourselves were we told that both chefs were unwell and that only a junior chef was available meaning no starters and a very restricted menu (pizza, pub classics, and gammon only). We ordered what we could as some of our group had travelled by taxi and had little choice but to stay. We even bought snacks from the bar to tide us over while waiting with children in the group. Olives were initially unavailable, then later confirmed available, finally arriving with bread around 6pm. Main meals followed intermittently between 6:30pm and 7pm. The person who received their food first had finished by the time the last dish arrived. Unfortunately, the food itself was unacceptable: chips were overcooked and cold, burgers were burnt to the point of being inedible, mashed potato was solid, scampi was fried to the texture of sawdust, and the “braised lamb lasagne” was simply sliced lamb layered into a dish. When a member of our party complained, they were told to leave for “disrupting other customers” despite the venue being almost empty. To wait over three hours in such a quiet pub for poor-quality food, unprofessional customer service, and no prior warning about the limited menu was hugely disappointing for the entire group. Based on this experience, we will not be returning and would strongly advise others to avoid

   Absolute sham. This was booked a week before. 10 of us Been to celebrate my daughters graduation, 4:40 we arrived to hav the to request a menu at 5:15 to be told they had no chefs as they were off ill. So half the menu was not available. Another 30-40min before anyone came to take the order (the pub had probably half a dozen people in and not many eating) we also had 2 children with us. At about 6:15 they bought one child’s meal out … at about 6:30 the rest came out apart from one which came about 6:45…we then Went to pay the bill and told them of our disappointment and ask to at least a little discount for the bar man to tell us well you have eaten all the food why should we give a discount!! Tbf there wasn’t one empty plate !!! . Not much off a £200 food bill when we had probably spent the same on wine etc waiting for the food. Whilst discussing this the manager came out and advised all their food was fresh ! Fine (although their mash is definitely NOT fresh) he also advised if I required microwave food to go to the olde house !! Definitely disgusting dissing their nearest food place. This is a pub I have always liked. First time I have been for a meal in a while and I definitely will not be returning. Plus the manager asked me to leave as other customers could hear my complaints!!! GOOD

   I rarely do reviews but after such a lovely meal, and at such a very reasonable price. I felt it only fare to provide a review. As a local resident I’ve seen what once was a thriving pub decades ago, go through lots of new ownership. The latest owners have got it right finally. Nice decor, nice patio area, good service, reasonable prices and great food. We will be making it a weekly visit.

   Lovely clean pub serving excellent food. I had a steak which was perfectly cooked and excellent value for money. The beer is served in proper glasses and the staff are pleasant and very helpful.

   We love the place, the food is lovely, staff are very friendly and real. ( what you see is what you get ) The pub is dog friendly, bonus. It's the main attraction when looking for a place to eat that let's dogs in. The place looks so nice on arrival now it's had a re vamp. The deco is so cosy and yet rustic and botanical style. Just lovely. Lots of finishing touches that are welcoming The dog can sit anywhere in the pub now They have phone stations to charge mobiles too if needed. Fab stuff

   Decent plate in a nice environment. This is a clean, well appointed pub with a good menu and early week offers (Mon and Tues). I had a mixed grill with a decent sized rump steak, gammon, sausages and egg. Chunky chips were crisp and tasty too...only grumble was the chicken which was a little bland although well cooked.
