The landlord was super rude and was not accommodating. He sits watching the cameras, and tells people off for leaning the bar. Asked if we could move a table a few feet to get a push in, and was told it was our own fault for not declaring on the booking. Food was average.

Have lived in the area for 19 years and have only been to this pub once years ago and never been back! That was until today. We had heard that the pub had been taken over and completely turned around. Whilst I was unsure how different the pub could be I and my family decided to visit the pub this afternoon to have a bite to eat and watch the rugby. What a great afternoon!!!! On arrival I was greeted with a big smile and good afternoon. by a barmaid I have never met before but made me feel like a regular. She then took my drink order and then took the time to help me find a table for my family who were arriving later and also talk me through the food ordering and menu. The pub was so clean and well presented as are the staff, all wearing a black polo style shirt with the pubs name on it. The food we ordered was fantastic value for money and amazing quality!! My son ordered the mixed grill for under £15 2 sausages , gammon, chicken,egg,chips loads more and also a Rump Steak. Most importantly that was cooked perfectly medium as my son requested. What was supposed to be a quick visit to a pub that was a "let's give it a try and see " ended up being a fantastic afternoon spent with family and now new friends in our new local pub . In short....A proper Pub run by a Proper land lord and land lady!! warm welcome, fantastic staff,good food at great prices. Loads to do with not only the food but also pool table ,darts,games machines,indoor and outdoor areas and also garden.

Have visited here several times, and it is a venue we take our visitors to when given the chance.The food is very tasty and reasonably priced, with a large selection of drinks available. The good companions is a great venue for families and for groups of people looking to have a good time.Booking not essential but recommended if you want a quieter sit down meal.I would recommend the pie, my wife would recommend the katsu curry.
