Absolutely brilliant atmosphere! The staff are just lovely the service of food was thermomenal, food was delicious ? ?Would highly recommend eating here again.Vegetarian options: They have food suitable for vegans.Dietary restrictions: Have to tell the staff what your allegeric to or what your needs are and they will meet them.Parking: They have a parking lot plenty of space for you to parkKid-friendliness: They have a garden big enough for a family to eat out amd it's beautiful at night

Not a place for family dinner on Saturday evening full of youngsters but good atmosphere really different from lunchtime. Food was

The staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough for you. We had not booked, but they found us a table, and the service was brilliant. As it was a Sunday, we went for the traditional lunch of meat, vegetables, gravy, for us the vegetables, i.e., the carrots and Brussel sprouts were overcooked. Although others may prefer them that way.

A modern pub, on the edge if the Triangle shopping centre, we stopped for some lunch before retuning home from a day out in FrintonThere was ample parking in the attached car park.We were shown to a nice table in a well decorated dining room.The staff were friendly and welcoming, service was quick, even though the pub filled up quickly. The food was very good, I could especially recommend the Steak and Ale Pie, mash and broccoli.They also have a light senior's and children's menu which are extremely good value.I noticed in the outside courtyard there are individual open beach huts with tables and chairs in, all brightly painted in colourful stripes. The ladies facilities were very clean, soap and tissues, all provided.The only fault I could find, which is a minor one, you have to walk through the public bar to access the restaurant. The pub organises events during the year and weekly entertainment
Fish & chips on main menu very nice. But not so hungry last time I went so I ordered from seniors menu. The batter was thick & soggy and inside was some sort of mush that did not taste or look like fish. The menu said chips but they were not chips but soggy french fries. Thegreen leaf soup was hot but tasteless. I had come from hospital and had not eaten since 8am so I ate the soup because I was cold and a little of the batter and fries but if I had not been so cold I would have sent the whole lot back. DISGUSTING. Lyn Frinton.

We had the bestest Christmas day meal here , so full we had to be wheeled to the car. Great atmosphere and we really had a special time for our first ever Christmas meal out. Well-done Louise and team and Thank you for the huge effort to make Christmas so special. It really was delicious ?

I didn't stop for food, just for the pool table.The staff where friendly and welcoming, the pub was clean and tidy and the bar was not sticky which is always a bonus point.The other customers were friendly and the atmosphere was amazing.

Unfortunately this pub still serves rubbish food regardless of the regular poor reviews and complaints it receives and refunds it gives out. A well done steak was rare, the rare was well done, the lasagne was bland and rubbery. We waited too long for the remaining dinners for our group, we had to get our own drinks as they either didn't get them after being asked or just didn't come over. The place was dead, so you can't even say it was busy, the staff just weren't bothering to serve us. Such a shame as this could be a lovely place if they took on the regular negative feedback they receive about the food they serve. Its not that hard to improve it surely!!
