Great service linked to good quality wholesome food leads to a very positive experience. Our first visit, but we'll definitely be

Went here last Friday with a friend. Best fish and chips ever. The minty peas are devine. Friendly staff with relaxed but timely service. They take time to go through menu options and specials. Managed to squeeze in lemon tart. I offered to marry whoever made it. Delicious.The place was busy but nice atmosphere.

Very busy place well organised the meal was great loved my food the service was excellent to say how busy they was we didn't have long to wait for the excellent food would recommend this place and we will be back.

Wonderful food, very high standard and imaginative menu, even for vegetarians. Service was impeccable, all staff were very attentive and clearly well-trained. It was a busy Saturday teatime and a little noisy as the pub has only a small space. If that may bother you I'd recommend you go to quite a time, well worth a visitVegetarian options: A few vegetarian options, different from your usual vegetable lasagne offerings, more imaginative

Nice cosy country pub/restuarant. (Not sure what else to say) ?Hospitality: 7/5 immaculate service! Everyone's well mannered, friendly, a appear to enjoy their jobs; (which does help) ;)Food times were rapid despite the growing service throughout my time here!?Food: 7/5Ghoat cheese tart had a good kick to it while not melting my throat.My main as known from me; (burger); was a unique type name, while the burger had an exquisite taste to the usual meat an patty.Afterwards came my cheesecake of the kinder Bueno. Which was incredibly nice a not overpowering! ?I don't find many places with such value for a glass of milk. ?Layout: 4.5/5This is a chain establishment, a it's just what I expected from the ownership. What's unique is its decor, and a good decent view of outside.Toiletries were not room temperature like the main room, and disappointed ther's no hand drier.+1 ?High praise for the Owner who: -Everyone and anyone is able to have a laugh with-Loves everyone's well-being, a satisfaction. Leaving note: I almost gave my master rating of 7 stars!I can understand why everyone loves it. ?

Honestly not sure what the high ratings are about. Between the three of us, we had the beer battered haddock, the wagyu beef burger, and the roast lamb. The fish was practically inedible, tasted awful, and the batter was spongy and unpleasant so that wasn't even nice to eat. The chips that came with the burger and fish were passable at best, for a chipshop, and even then they seemed soggy and a touch greasy.Most baffling were the so-called "posh peas" which came with the fish, and the vegetables that came with the lamb. The "posh peas" are simply mushy peas AND garden peas, mixed together, and seemingly some mint chucked in with them - which definitely does NOT go well with the fish as a result. Furthermore, when asked if it was possible to just have mushy peas, we were told that it wasn't, as the peas come that way before cooking.Given that the vegetables that came with the lamb were limp, tasteless, and like they'd been over cooked as well, I can only assume that a great deal of the food items are pre-packaged and not home made or cooked beyond shoving in a microwave or an oven for the listed directions on the box.As for the burger, I'm not sure it gets to qualify itself as Wagyu, given that all I could taste from the frankly extremely dry burger meat was what seemed to be half a pepper-grinder's worth of black pepper. When it wasn't just filling my mouth with dryness, it had faint hints of bread and cardboard.The bun and the chilli jam, and what seemed to be pulled pork in the burger were alright though I suppose, and as a plus point they do serve pepsi max on tap as opposed to coca cola. Shame that for the prices they ask, the food is abysmal.Two stars for atmosphere and staff as they were quick with the food and drinks (but prepackaged food is often real quick anyway), and the place was pretty comfortable to sit in, but the staff made no effort beyond the bare minimum of courtesy. At least they had the sense to not press the issue when they asked if everything was alright and we paused for several moments before giving an extremely forced "we're okay" just to end the awkward conversation we were otherwise going to have to have.Incredibly disappointing, we were just glad to be out of there as soon as possible, and barely ate much of our meals. Honestly not sure how so many people have rated this so highly, and if this is a one-off, and we just got unlucky, that doesn't help matters, as it means the variance is so wide that it's a gamble whether you'll get a good meal or a serious waste of money there.
