Very disappointed on this visit. Booked a table for my dad's 70th. There was 12 of us and 3 of us ordered starters which took about 45 mins to arrive. We then had to wait a further hour or more for the mains but by this time everyone had enough. There was no one else in the restaurant ordering so no excuse to wait that long and when they brought the first 2 dishes out the chips was stone cold. Was not happy at all and we all walked out. The table was ordered well in advance. There was 4 children part of the party who was very tired and hungry. Ended up having a McDonald's and my dad had nothing due to being so annoyed and angry as all he wanted was a family meal for his 70th. Will never go there again

We went for Sunday roast but it wasn't on for some reason unexplained, and ended up having some soulless microwave/fryer gash, delish ? thanks chef

If I could give this review a No star I would do, soup cold mushrooms disgusting, the main meal took 45 minutes chips cold, egg under cooked, totally couldn’t eat it a waisted £45.50 it’s a Disgrace. When the girl came asked was everything ok I told her no, all she could up with the cook should of put the dinner on early. The pub was empty so no excuses he was busy !!!

Nice place but dogs and food is a no no. The foul language from some was disgusting and staff ignored it.

Always a good atmosphere and a good mainstream pint.

You should be ashamed of the way you just handled Christmas dinner, charging 4 adults and 1 child £270 for what we just experienced was an absolute disgrace.The manager of the pub should have been going round apologising, not burying their head in the sand like they did and leaving it to 2 bar staff and 1 waiter to pick up the pieces whilst they are also having to work overtime on Christmas day.The food was not nice, and the adults' food arrived before my 6 year old nephews food. To top it all off, they overcharged us when we paid.Worst service I've ever received, my sister had items missing from her plate, and a man the next table over didn't even get any roast potatoes.Honestly, awful. My sister didn't even eat hers.

Absolutely shocking and unacceptable since everything was preordered and timeslots given in advance. This Christmas meal wasn’t worth £20 pp never mind £60. The staff was working there little socks of while management just watched everything go wrong and did nothing but buried their head. This is the first Christmas Day meal me and my family have ever eaten out and it is the last. The management at this establishment have seriously put a black mark on there business from everyone that had the misfortune of thinking of booking here today. Even my 6year old grandson said it was the worst he has ever had. Over 3 hours to be served a 3course meal with items like veg and potatoes (all from frozen)missing frommany plates. I can not stress enough the lack of some form of humanity from management. Unbelievable the worst I’ve ever encountered. Not once did you come and apologise to customers who you could clearly see was not happy it was like we wasn’t there. The young boy coming out with all the plates was a trooper though you seemed to talk down to him. ( He was the only person we gave a tip to) ohh and to top it off I got overcharged by £10.00. Will be paying once last visit to the place for that.

Ohhh dear, what has happened? After previous visits earlier in the year, when the food was excellent we decided to go for end of week treat meal. The pub was virtually empty when we arrived, although tables were set up for a Christmas booking,even though the pub was empty we were left waiting at the bar to be served. Waited 45mins for a meal which was totally disappointing. Very, very greasy fish, teaspoon of cold peas and cold chips. Bread and butter ordered but never appeared. Didn't raise issues as the Christmas party booking had arrived, and what staff there was seemed rather stressed. Sadly on this experience we won't be returning.
Lack of management around when busy, kids are working hard behind the bar but lacks organisation and leadership, shame when it works well it’s a good pub and food is also quite good just lacks managers presence especially when events are on in Leyland and when very busy.

Busy early Saturday evening. Decorations for Halloween impressive. Lovely boisterous atmosphere. Rugby on large screens with live boxing later.
