The first time we went the roast vegetables were lovely and crispy.The last time they were overcooked. The staff on both occasions have been very polite and helpful.There is a great seating area and place for the kids to play. Great for Sunday roasts.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian roasts give a good selection of vegetables.

Appalling service, waited over an hour for food only came when complained. Drinks had already taken 20minutes and only 4 of us. They weren’t remotely attentive no waiting staff around, no food coming out and didn’t take our drinks order for a while - other people complained. When I first arrived I asked if the vegan nachos was vegan mince or 3 bean. Told the latter, later when ordered told didn’t have it, so I said please double check as the chef had confirmed before they did and it was bean… then came back and they did have it. After waiting over an hour I had to go up and ask how long as my 86 year old grandmother was pretty hungry. When it came out my vegan nachos had cow cheese on it. I said to the waitress are you sure this is vegan and she confirmed it was. I tentatively took a bite and immediately knew from the texture and reaction I get from lactose it was… had to take it back. They replaced it with a new one but by then my party had eaten. Additional to this food was mediocre and table in front complained chicken was still pink table behind cancelled their order and left as they too had been waiting so long. What’s worse is google said they were quieter than usual and the staff certainly weren’t rushing about so just terrible staff, both serving, kitchen and I managerial. Never again!

This place has gone downhill. My Wife and I waited 45 minutes, after ordering, for the food to be served. It wasn't worth the wait. I took one bite of the Roast Potato that was leathery and hard inside and sent mine back. My Wife was starving and ate a coupla potatoes. The rest was a one inch piece of 'maple glazed' parsnips, 2 slivers of carrot, a pile of nondescript green stuff, overcooked, and the Chestnut and Mushroom Wellington with Vegan Cheese. A complete mess. I bought a sandwich from the Garage across the Road and pressed on. I will not be visiting again. The next table to us was complaining of Chicken that was cold in the middle. The Servers, whilst pleasant, had not a clue how to serve. Cutlery dumped on the table and no clue what they were doing.

I’m really surprised by the bad reviews on here. We stopped on the off chance of getting a table. We were welcomed by friendly staff and told that there was a wait for food which was fine. The food arrived sooner than expected, it was hot, plentiful and very tasty, especially the roast potatoes. Dessert was well presented and delicious. The staff were polite and attentive. We would go back if we were in that area again.
We driven past many times was always busy, but there is a for sale sign up, which they told us was sadly putting customers off. Hopefully the new owner will put in facilities for people with mobility problems. You don't realise until you need them they are missing. The staff all looked after us well.

Stopped here on the way home from Portsmouth. We were welcomed with a warm ‘hello’. Had our puppy German Shepherd with us and he was made very welcome too. We ordered our food and the service was great. Food served quickly and was very tasty and satisfying. Will definitely return. Xx

We sat in the garden. There is an access point to the new path that has been built. Pretty sun flower "trees".
