Dreadful Waited for a good 20minutes after 6.00pm Only to be served cold vegetable chilli con carne. I remarked to the waiter and he returned it to the kitchen waiting for over 20mins before being served hard congealed. Rice then it had to be returned again to the kitchen This is unexceptable to be subjected to serving below standard food. I found the whole ordeal appalling. And was told they have had a few issues with the chief. Incompetent staff in my opinion.Vegetarian options: Food needs heating and cooked in a professional manor.

Under new management 2024. Food much, much better. Young efficient polite staff with team attitude. No service charge automatically added to bill. Excellent selection of ales and lagers. Superb wine list for every taste and price range. Large car park to the rear and sunny terrace ! A cosy village Pub on the way up !Vegetarian options: Always available - as usual state any allergies.Parking: Large car park often used by Car Clubs and BritStop motorhomes.Kid-friendliness: Family pub (super enclosed garden in the summer). Economical childrens menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Can drop off nearest to rear entrance to save walk from car park.

Food was not very good, but expensive. Burgers seemed to have been made with cheap meat and buns. We visited at lunchtime in the middle of winter and it was quiet, with no heating, which was not pleasant.

Ordered lasagne which came with garlic bread and side salad, Lasagne was a tiny child size portion and only just warm. Salad was literally a small pinch of leaves Garlic bread came as a soggy piece of shop bought white sliced sandwich bread ( see pics) I sent garlic bread back and said that’s not acceptable - the waiter bought same but back but toasted !!! The waiters were young boys didn’t seem very experienced told them we weren’t happy but just said he’d let chef know. Sticky toffee pudding was just a lump of dry cake.

I really liked the vibe of the place. We visited the pub for food and drinks and the service was excellent, let alone the warmth of the staff and their kindness.

We stopped on our way to the airport. It was a Friday night and only one other couple eating. The pub was cold , shame that they did not light the fire , we kept our jackets on. The server told us that there was no pies or veg lasagne or sirloin steak (it's not a big menu anyway). We ordered pork belly with crackling, mash and peas, and a chicken burger with chips. The pork was ok but had been microwaved so that the crackling was just a soggy fat lump. The mash was lumpy and tasteless. The chicken in the bun was pieces of breast just flattened down and the chips burnt. Who does that. We tol the server and she said that's how it's done! We sent it back and got another pot this time under done. It's just simple pub grub guys, how can you mess it up???

Lovely girls who tried their best but dreadful food. Two of my friends chose the lasagne, which was burnt and dry...basically inedible, so it was replaced with a seafood linguine which they said was ok. I had gnocchi with aubergine and pine nuts. No pine nuts and the aubergine wasn't cooked so it was really bitter. No pies or vegetarian lasagne were available, and no dessert menu was offered because the dessert chef was unavailable...it was just Christmas pudding, ice-cream or bread and butter pudding which after the lasagne we decided against. We opted for hot drinks instead...my hot chocolate was tepid chocolate and the coffee was not drinkable. The mint tea was fine.All in all very disappointing. We all felt sorry for the girls who had to serve the food...they were pleasant, helpful and tried their best.Vegetarian options: Poor.

Worst roast I’ve ever had. Portion was very small. It came with hardly any gravy. Cauliflower and cheese came with no cheese and most of the food was cold.Service was fine but when the food is bad it doesn’t matter how good the service is.

Lovely little pub serving excellent food. We asked to preorder our food and they did this without question, serving it to us almost immediately after serving our drinks, amazing!
Service and atmosphere were good. As a vegetarian, I had choices and the prices are very reasonable.Vegetarian options: I had gnocchi with white sauce for the first time in my life, and it was delicious!

Not a good experience. Poor service, dim lighting because of broken lights and greasy fish and chips. Also peas like bullets and armour-plated fish batter. Altogether a big let down.

My wife booked a table of 8 for my 50th birthday.We've eaten here a couple of times so didn't expect the experience we had.Started with drinks, a drink accidentally missing - no problem. Had to ask for the menu, they forgot about us. Still, I'm alright with thisBut when they eventually took our order we were told there was not enough lamb for all 8 people (despite its ordering in the morning).. I'm still holding my cool. So we ordered 2 lamb and the rest beef and received such tiny portions, the children's portion was the same as an adult's and cost £18 each. There was very little, veg or gravy... and it's not as though this was a gourmet menu.So we didn't eat anything. I wasn't happy and shared my opinion with the manager, who was OK with this.. I said I'd pay for the drinks we'd have and that's it..When he totalled the bill an extra wine was accidentally added to our list which came up to £80.Had to complain again and seek correction.Apparently, they are new managementService was poor. Portions too small. Expensive for what you are consuming.Kid-friendliness: There's an area at the back for kids to play.

Brilliant pub. We came as a group and they were more than accommodating. Drinks were madely professionally and properly. Food was offered in good time - we didn't get any. Atmosphere was lovely, you're by a road but you don't notice it. All round a nice place to

Stopped here for lunch on route as it was mid-point for us. Turns out, new proprietor had taken over just the previous week! So the menu and facilities weren't as shown on Google! However, the food they had was great, the staff friendl, and the toilets clean. Dog friendly. Nice garden to sit in with the dog while you eat. They offered to receive the dog inside but it was a nice day so we sat in the garden.Vegetarian options: Not a lot... but then the chef was new to the establishment and might be going to add vegetarian and vegan options as business picked up.
