Firstly, very nice refurb - everywhere looks fresh and modern (apart from upstairs men's toilet radiator in picture).Went to order food for 4 people, informed couldn't have steak as had run out (this was 13:15 on a Friday), could always nip next door to booths when you next run out of a dish!Matt (who seemed to be a manager) was very nice and had a nice demeanour.The fish and chips were average, mushy/bland fish.The food all seemed a bit expensive for what it was, if it was £2-5 cheaper that would be more fair.

Excellent value for money, good beers on tap and there is a large food menu. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Never disappointed, and the cake is huge!

I'm adding extra stars myself in this review....Since 2015My 16 years in Catering, hospitality, kitchens, hotels and bars Etc have i ever wrote or spoke about a facility which I now have time to doService ?????Always get a nice warm welcome everytime we enter the premisesNever seen them changed the staff always the same old faces and some new it's a good thing because in my opinion the employees must be happy and the employers must look after their staff hats off to themFood ????Had a carvery the roasties wasn't as good as usual but all fresh and ready to eat turkey and gammon is a must for choices of meatCake-away ?????Was so good a can't remember what I had!See you again soon

Claudia and Gavin are working wonders along with all their great staff.They served just under 30 of us to our pre ordered three course celebration mealwith only one dessert hiccup. Absolutely brilliant.

We had a great carvery meal, was let down by poor roast potatoes and lack luster Yorkshire pudding. Otherwise we would have given it 5 stars.

Well kept and staffed restaurant.Limited choice of drinks as it linked to a brewery so you have all the alternative choices from that brewery.Food was served quickly and good portions at a reasonable prices.

Best carvery i've ever had would highly recommend. Pleasant staff adds to an enjoyable eating experience thank you
We celebrated our daughters 50th birthday here yesterday.We had a buffet which was fantastic. The staff and the service was excellent. Thank-you for making our night special.

While the service was a plus, the overall was not the best I could have experienced. Upon ordering a carvery, the beef was almost entirely flat, and there was a lack of certain veg.As well as a lamb Kofta, it was missing a mint yogurt drizzle, the garlic butter was melted to a liquid, there was no spring onion and the flat bread had been microwaved to an indestructible quality.The only good meal we did receive was a kids margarita pizza, though one unfortunately faulty side, it came with chips, we did not order those. I would consider that a red flag for the food establishment as the buyer could have an allergy, that would most likely end up in a lawsuit, which I highly doubt would be your average Christmas present.

Booked Sunday 5pm, ordered a large carvery, bit tight with the meat portions but tasted good, not a great variety of veg left and very under seasoned, ordered sticky toffee pudding for dessert, went past wanting it, had to ask to chase it up, would still go again.

What a fantastic family pub restaurant! Went with 3 adults and 2 children, all our meals were just the right portions, absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Best dirty fries I've had in a while, the tandoori flatbread was huge and perfectly spiced, kids meals did not containcheap sausages!Every single staff member displayed excellent customer service. Looks like a chain pub from the outside so we didn't have high expectations, so pleased we tried it. Will definitely return when we visit the north again!
