Very disappointed on our visit to the pub. We had booked a table for a meal before visiting the kings theatre. Received confirmation that our table had been booked the day before. However arrived to be told the kitchen is closed today because they had a problem with the chef. I would have thought a phone call to the customer would have been a polite response. Would not recommend this pub or be returning. If the manager had apologised for the inconvenience then I would have understood but just to be told I did not have a booking is unacceptable.

Went to this lively pub for a family meal.Staff very friendly, informative, and patient in discussing menu options for allergies.Everyone enjoyed their food, which was good value and the staff checked that we had everything we needed.

Just fancied fish and chips and a couple of pints. Hello are you doing food? No sorry kitchen is closed. No explanation. Website states it's open. I wonder why so many pubs are going out of business?

Not LGBT friendly. We (two women) were assaulted by two men and the staff did nothing until the same men started to attack a table of men. Not a safe environment. Really scary place.

Not been in here for a while, but after a busy weekend working we thought we would pop in to grab a bite to eat.Seems they had ran out of a lot which was fine as discussed when ordering.Chicken wings came out meant to be coated in hot sauce and asked for extra hot sauce on the side(didn’t mind paying) they was dry and was just like eating normal roast chicken, and no pot of hot sauce as they used the last putting on our wings. Which seem to have none on anyway.Trio of chips, all came out cold, 2 of the 3 was wrong sauces and 1 came out was meant to be sweet potato but done normal fries instead, had to wait a further 10 minutes for them to come.Service, no knife/ forked brought out, asked for tissues as again none brought out… went away and forgot, started to serve people until I went and asked for some. Then brought out what we needed (food nearly finished, from what we actually eat)Left a fair bit and left as it was shocking, wasn’t even busy.Will not be going back any time soon.

Good atmosphere, nice garden, drinks are a little expensive.

Good selection of alcohol and large garden. Probably won't come back for the roast dinner as I have had better elsewhere.

Always a loud and rowdy pub on a Fri/Sat night. Average prices. I've had the roast before and half of it tasted microwaved. Thought I'd give it another go. Went in and I was the only person waiting at the bar then a group of 4 walked in and the barman served them first. Bit annoying. If you prefer a personal experience then visit nearby Fawcett Inn or Phoenix they are better pubs.
Good solid
Had a drink in the garden and it was super cute.
