Had our 2 shops (Aed) Xmas get-together. On 18/12/25. Fab food & atmosphere, we were looked after really well. Thank you for making our evening great
We've been a few times now as our local, staff are lovely and really accomodating. The food is really good and well priced and the parking is very convinent. There is a lovely outside area where you can see the canal boats, and a pool table. I am really surprised to see any less than 4+ reviews so wanted to comment on some of these that I have read, the place is quite like a cottage inside with hard floors and I imagine at some times it can get a little dusty however I can be quite funny about cleanliness and did not notice any issues. The cutlery, plates , bathroom, glasses, tables and bar were all immaculate however I am sure if you looked hard enough on the top of a lamp you may find some dust! We eat out quite a lot and found the food tasted really good, one day a few months ago the chef who was in and out of the kitchen made a very high standard of food that we had to thank him as we were really impressed. I am sure they heard my partner tell me we couldn't get deserts as we had spent our budget and brought out cakes for our children. They said these were left over, but it was a really lovely thing for them too do. The staff are very lovely and always make my children smile. Thank you very much. It gives you a family feel, there was activities for children and my little girl spilled some glitter, which I am sure will be very hard to all get up and as I was trying, the lady told me not to worry and that it adds some sparkle. So if you are supporting a local pub, I would absolutely recommend this one and I would take any poor reviews with a pinch of salt as I'm sure if there was any issues they would be solved given the customer service is so good. It is rare to find somewhere like this, a little tucked away gem
Honestly, I don’t usually leave reviews unless I felt it was really good, or really bad! In this case, really not good at all. My partner and I went for a meal as a late birthday thing and some ‘us’ time. I ordered the chicken platter and my partner had a mixed grill. Upon ordering along with 2x Pepsi the price was just over £43 - which personally I found a little expensive compared to other places. I wouldn’t have minded so much if the food was actually worth eating. Before bringing the food out, we was then told there’s no eggs - not a massive deal. The service was quick, probably a wait of 10 minutes (it wasn’t busy). Most of my plate was overcooked, my partners mixed grill came without the egg (stated) but also no mushrooms and both plates had no half grilled tomato - instead just half baby tomatoes that were fresh. There was a lady on another table taking a drink back to the bar as there was lipstick on her glass. Upon hearing this my partner and I looked a little closer around. The sides had thick dust and cobwebs. We definitely will not be returning - also while writing this, just a couple hours after the food, my stomach isn’t so great. I luckily made it home just in time.
Pub food mixed grill cooked as ordered plenty on the plate. Fish and chips batter crispy. Overall price not to bad at all. Typical pub if you don't like swearing from the bar area don't go. We put up with it.
Booked a table today for 9 people with 2 dogs at short notice. Staff very accommodating and welcoming. All food was lovely and piping hot and all meals arrived at the same time. Will definitely visit again....thank you.
First time in the pub, monday's give you cheap bitter and Director's Ale...brilliant as not many places stock this beer. Good atmosphere and enjoyed my time, will visit again.
Under staffed, poor food quality, not fresh. I visited on a Friday 1st July at 6pm with my wife and 2 kids. Long queue and wait at the bar to order. Only 1 person serving at the bar so I stood at there for 20 minutes waiting to order food and drinks. Sat back down to wait. The food took half an hour to arrive. Kids meals were dry. Burger was dry amd cold. The chicken was so dry that was thrown on top of the pasta dish. He salad wasn't fresh. Burger served with chunky chips although it said fries on the menu. I asked and was told there were no fries left but I wasn't told beforehand when ordering. No tomato on my Burger so I had to ask a staff member for it. The food here isn't fresh at all. It's clearly frozen reheated food and the taste reflects that but the price does not. The ice cream was the best bit at the end. I think I will just go to Burger King or McDonalds next time as at least there I will know what to expect for a third of the price...
Meal with family, the Food was served quickly, but no chips with the lasagna and it was a very strong cheese, so the kids didn't enjoy that, the ultimate burger was great and pie was OK, as was the gammon. Lovely spot and great staff.
