Popped back in as we were passing, it had been a while since our last visit, nothing had changed, the food was great, staff were friendly and value for money was top notch, wish we lived closer, will be back for sure

Nice clean pub but otherwise absolutely horrendous experience!!! Nothing on the sparce menu available apparently they haven't received the delivery ??? The larger was flat when I asked if it was the gasses she said probably but I can't change them ???? I would like the management team to contact me to discuss the matter further!!!!! It was that bad ?

Very disappointed. No carvery on to start with. Chose something from menu only to be told rather abruptly that there was none left. I asked what was left and was told to LOOK at the menu!! When food came the gammon was very fatty and maybe slightly under cooked

A really nice place, good parking, very spacious seating with good window seats nooks and crannies. Good service and pleasant staff, good choice of food for everyone.

Had Christmas dinner at this venue and the whole experience was appalling. Starters was easy an hour and fifteen minutes late and the mains was warmed up at best. The staff even attempted for us to 'take away' the deserts so they could leave early. After a lot of really good visits to the pub I'm so disappointed for both me and my family! A waste of £600!!!!

Came for Christmas lunch waited 1hr and 20 minutes for our starters, main meal was cold had to take our pudding home as the children were tired and bored. First time eating Christmas lunch out very disappointed...

We went as a family of 7 on Christmas day for lunch. Had to wait almost 50minutes for our starters. When asked if our starter would be much longer at 40minutes was abruptly told by who looked like the restaurant manager (lady in red skirt with a face like thunder) "there is an order and it will come when it comes" not a I'm sorry it shouldn't be much longer... like the lovely younger waiteres informed us a few minutes later. The soup was nice, home made and tasty. The carvery was average. The pork fatty and gross, the vegetables were undercooked and greasy. Dessert was exhausting, nobody on our table could eat it. We had apple tart that we had to ask for a knife to cut as it was too soggy to cut with the spoon you would normally use for a Dessert. Some sections of the tart was warm where other parts were frozen cold. Staff, most were lovely, professional and polite. All but the lady with a face like thunder. Advice save your money and go elsewhere.

Fantastic visit for Xmas dinner. Not a fault. Absolutely perfect service and food (especially with the kitchen being understaffed).

Attended the Christmas quiz on 19th Dec, great atmosphere, another fantastic quiz by Ashley, rest of the staff great too. Excellent night?

Came for the regular weekly quiz which is always good fun organised by Ashley. Food was lovely, much improved from previous visit in March. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Went for our work Christmas lunch today- so wish we hadn’t ? . We went last year to the carvery and we’re well impressed and returned this year expecting the same ! It was advertised as a carvery when we booked but when we went today we found that it wasn’t a carvery and we were getting a turkey dinner , all plated up and no choice of meat- Turkey take it or leave it. When we questioned this we were told the pub had changed hands and the menu had changed and the carvery was no longer available and the organiser should have received an email confirming this but no email was received! The meal- the prawn cocktail was fine- you cannot really go wrong with a few prawns and a bit of lettuce The Christmas fayre- Turkey was dry, the roasties were very greasy, the parsnips weren’t roasted, the pig in blankets didn’t looked cooked and the stuffing ball was very hard and overcooked and not very edible. The broccoli was overcooked- Overall the food wasn’t very warm at all. The dessert I chose was described on the menu as a Citrus tart and in the description as a cheese cake but was neither We were told that we couldn’t make separate card payments so had to transfer what we owed to the organiser to pay the bill altogether . They did offer us a discount which caused another problem as we had all transferred the full amount to the organiser who now has to arrange 20+ refunds. All round not a good experience- won’t be returning ?

Absolutely awful food, paid £14 for a chicken burger that consisted of a cardboard chicken fillet, fake bacon and two hash browns that obviously were cooked 3 days ago.

A regular customer. Food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and always willing to help. Never had to wait long for food.
