Starter and desserts were lovely but the roasts were a let down unfortunately. Poor selection of veg, gravy was watery and tastless and both the Yorkshires and roasts were

Went in today for meal, after anticipation of driving past we've always wanted to try this place and today we did , we both shared a starter which was chicken strips which was a massive disappointment quite dry and rubbery no taste of spices and breaded coating just coated in flour and fried the bbq sauce that it came with was lovely , as for the lasagne we both felt that it was dry and not enough sauce , the garlic bread it was the only decent thing we enjoyed. ( we did tell the young waitress that the lasagne was dry once we had our bill and she collected our dishes but nothing was rectified). Maybe its on off day but won't be returning any time soon ..

Booked on a whim as was struggling to find anywhere that served pizza for my daughter but so glad we did. Food (especially the chips) was amazing. Fish was cooked to perfection and everything was clearly freshly prepared and excellent quality produce used. Staff were friendly and efficient and took the time to speak with us about our visit.Will definitely recommend and would also revist if back in the area.

Nice looking pub to go for a drink and watch sport, but the food has gone downhill over the last year or two.Your standard pub grub, pie, fish, burgers, are decent enough, but nothing special and have had family express the same. Had a plate of chicken wings that was anaemic at best.I have been twice recently and the service has been poor both times, it takes a long time for tables to be cleared and seems disorganised. The second time we were told we couldn't add another person onto our reservation as they were too busy, but when we turned up the restaurant was only half full.

It's a lovely place that, unfortunately, is being let down by rather mediocre food. It tasted like the cheap takeaways that one can get at the supermarket and the chips were undercooked. If I just want to go out for a drink, I'd say it's a lovely place. For eating not so much.Dietary restrictions: They are very conscientious regarding food allergies.

Great food, great drinks and friendly staff with fabulous décor. Great lunch time specials menu. Looking forward to returning.

Sunday dinner SHAME.A luke warm dinner, mashed potato was not fresh, roast potatoes we had trouble tying to cut through them carrot and turnip was mostly carrot Yorkshire puddings were rubberery and the beef was cold.The vegetarian option was just the same but no nut roast or any substitute for meat yet still the same price and cauliflower cheese looked like cat sick.This is has been the worst Sunday dinner I have ever had.

Today I went with my partner for Sunday lunch the roast dinner and veggie option were disgraceful the veggie was just vegetables the food was cold the roast potatoes you could not chew the food was cold the coliflower cheese looked like a bowl of sick the rip of price is they charge the same for the veggie option but the meat is removed there should be a difference in price but most of all the food was very rubbery and certainly not fresh .so people out there please avoid drive to the next pub.

I think being Father’s Day and a private function impaired the kitchen staffs ability to cope. Everything just felt warmed up rather than cooked fresh. The leek and potato soup was watery and lacked depth of flavour. I’ve had this previously and on that occasion it was thick creamy and warming. There was only one thin slice of beef on my guests plate, my turkey was not cooked through. My guests did not want the menu items and had the steak pie previously so the manager offered this as an alternative. Unfortunately the pie was apparently microwaved and was inedible. The accompanying chips were soaked in grease and also inedible. The Coca Cola was watery. The lager was lovely. All in all a wasted £90. I was with my elderly brother who was burying his wife the following day so obviously didn’t want to cause a scene but EXTREMELY disappointed with the whole meal.

Staff were very friendly, and portions were huge, maybe a bit too big! I struggled with my gammon steak as there was so much on the plate, but I got what I paid for. The only downfall was the desserts; I ordered the berry cheesecake and my partner the chocolate brownie. The cheesecake base was like rock, very hard to cut and ruined it a bit for me. The brownie was more like a biscuit, very dry. Overall we would go again, but maybe the desserts need a little work.

Had Sunday lunch 2 course meal had mushrooms to start which was wonderful and full roast for mains was ok but some elements of this was cold but otherwise pretty good

Family of 9 on weekend break went for Sunday Dinner Staff very obliging, food was good, all served together. Would seriously consider eating here again if we visit the area.
