Nice food ?

The place is nice and clean. The staff were lovely. I had a fish and chips and was fairly disappointed with it as the fish was tasteless and the batter was soggy and some of the proper chips it came with weren’t cooked through. The other two dishes - duck (from specials) and a salmon were lovely though. The roast dinner looked really good so I would probably try that next time.

Myself and 2 friends visited Saturday 13th January 2024. We hadn't booked a table. On approach the car park was quite full and I thought that we may have to venture elsewhere. Inside, thankfully a couple of tables were available. The restaurant has a lovely homely feel. We were approached by Jodie, who was incredibly polite and helpful. We ordered drinks and in no time they arrived. We were informed about the Special's that were on offer and were given adequate time to look at the menu's. I ordered the Steak, Mushroom and Ale Pie. I was a bit apprehensive to be honest, as I don't really like the Ale factor 'Pie Wise'. The others ordered the hanging chicken kebab like dish and Gammon all with homemade chips. After a short wait our meals arrived. Everyone enjoyed thoroughly. The pie was served in a lovely thick gravy, no ale taste whatsoever. Accompanied by freshly cooked vegetables. The generously sized Gammon was served with 2 Eggs. The Chicken Kebab dish was served on a hanging skewer and looked delicious.

Being local to us we visit quite often both for drinks and food, the food has always been very good and value for money. We dined twice through out December and I have to say the food was fabulous, the blade of beef from the specials menu was as good as you will find anywhere including high level restaurants. Well done

For me the price of the drinks is really expensive, especially for cocktails and shots. Charging a full drink for a part of a shot is crazy. Also the place is too small! Can't swing a cat inside.

Went here for refreshments after my mother-in-laws funeral. Had very little notice but everything was excellent, the advice they gave us was very helpful when we went to enquire and the room was a perfect size for our needs , you could probably fit about 40-50 in easily. The selection of Buffets was wide ranging for all budgets and excellent value. The food was top quality and plentiful and hot drinks available if required. The bar service was efficient and friendly, cannot recommend enough, will definitely be back to sample more of their menu.

Mu sister booked us to go here for my birthday meal with my husband. Lovely member of staff looked after us sorry I didn't get her name but she was lovely and polite and poured a perfect pint of guiness. Husband had the heifer burger, which he said was lovely and juicy, I had the steak stroganoff, which was absolutely divine. Shared a side of onion rings. Then we had dessert their cheesecake is to die for!!!! My only criticism is that the mains were a little on the small side had I have known this we would have ordered starters as well with no issue. The only reason we didn't order starters is because I usually can't eat 3 courses, and I certainly needed space for dessert after seeing the cheesecake when I walked in.

I thought the prices had increased since last here. I orderd a jacket potatoe with chilli and cheese. It was so dry. I had to ask for butter and did not finish it. Dry as a bone. Im sure chilli usualy has a suace.

Good food but was asked if we wanted our mains we wanted to wait 10 minutes after our starter and we were informed that our mains were ready so we had to have them rather than being kept
