Dear Events Team and Management, We just wanted to say a big thank you for a great evening! Especially Ellie - a "super star" that looked after us with great care and professionalism. We are all looking forward to coming back again with friends and family.
Good tvs for football. Great home made pork pies. Friendly staff. Formerly 'The Eclipse'. Breakfast and lunch menus. Home made gelatos (ice creams). Harvey's Ale House.
Fab Sunday roast and pud (only got pic of pud as was so hungry!) Great choice. Friendly staff and doggy friendly. Only issue the room could have been a bit warmer.
Place is fine. Food could be better in quality and quantity. I went for wings but I only got 5 which is definitely not enough if you’re hungry since they’re mostly skin and bones. Also 5 quid for the buttered corn cob which is a bit of rip off.
We went for drinks but were treated aggressively by the regulars who felt entitled to tell us to move out of our seats at a nearby table so they could have more space. There are plenty of other nice pubs in the area to go to instead. I recommend you avoid this place as it's not the family or friendly atmosphere it claims - why take a chance?
The meat here is top quality. Locally sourced and free range. Butchered and smoked on site. A lovely atmosphere which perfectly balances food and sport whether you like sport or not. All in all it’s an amazing pub!
It's not often in an give out a 5 star rating on a first service...I had to here!.but I will have to come.back and if the standard is the same and give you an accurate rating. So let's get to the review. I used to live in New York so know my brisket, which I cam here for their Sunday roast..you can have it with chicken, lamb or brisket. I got the brisket and it came out fast and was a great size. The beetroot, red cabbage, broccoli and carrots were cooked well not soggy or overcooked really nice. The brisket itselef was the star was melting in my mouth. All with a cold beer I was in heaven. The place is disabled friendly and my assistant dog was treated really well..water and treats were given to her which I appreciated. The bar itself was showing sports and the crowd were all cool and the ambience great. So overall a great find and my go to place for Sunday roast now! I'll be back to order the triple meat roast and will report back.
I went here for Sunday lunch, as the poet's never disappoint! I had lamb roast and my partner had the beef brisket. It was so delicious and succulent with lovely flavour, large Yorkies and good (not over done) veggies. I love this pub for their roasts and as I say they never disappoint! Keep up the good work. It's a real pleasure to go with good attentive staff and lovely food and surroundings.
