Nice friendly pub and staff.... unfortunately food was terrible, the vegetable fish and chops was possibly worst iv ever had.Staff were really apologetic and We did get money off the bill, but overall very

50% of the food choices were unavailable. Service was extremely slow. The food was pretty dry and lacklustre. This was our first visit here and our last.

Our arrival should’ve prepared us for the worse!! Table booked for 3pm with confirmation email, payment of £100/head and menu choice made in advance. We arrived early for pre-dinner drinks to no real formal check-in, when we were told we had booked for 12.30. At 4pm, following many chases, we were finally seated at a table in the bar, by the gents toilet. In summary, very slow and ad hoc service, food very average and apologetic staff - at 7pm we decided to take the cheese course home as service was so slow and the sweet treats to finish were not petit four as expected but a saucer of cadburys “celebrations”!

Went for Christmas Day lunch.Previous two years superb.This year terrible.We were seated in a cold draughty bar not the restaurant,food was at best average, service was shambolic.The staff tried hard to rectify the problems but I suspect they had massively overcommited.The cost was £100 a head and this was nowhere near good enough.

Lovely place. Especially in this cold weather when they have logs burning in the fireplace.

Lovely decor and furnishings. Needs a better back bar.

Came for Sunday lunch with 7 family members today. Three of us ordered the nut roast…and it wasn’t a nut roast?? It was rice with raisins, pumpkin seeds and peppers (no nuts) in the shape of a nut roast. None of us ate it, it wasn’t very nice and not what was described on the menu. None of the staff members asked why nobody ate it! So we all paid almost £20 for three potatoes, one parsnip and two chunks of carrot each. They had no alternative milk for the two of us who can’t have dairy. The doors were propped open for staff ease of access so it was freezing and we were eating in our coats (food which went cold because of the draft!). Only giving two stars because the mulled wine was nice and my family who had turkey and pork belly enjoyed their meals.

Last minute choice for Sunday lunch, neither have been before, and wow it was amazing. The staff we lovely and friendly. We both had the beef which was perfect, tender and plenty of it. There was lots of different veg and the yorkies were large and crispy. Will definitely be back, I have my eye on the pork belly next!

We had a delicious Sunday roast which was beautifully presented and served with plenty of vegetables. Recommend the turkey and sausage meat stuffing. Yummy. Attentive friendly service too.

It took an hour for our starters to arrive followed by a further long wait for the main courses. Veggie gravy turned up as the main courses had been eaten. No apologies or explanations for the delays. Also freezing cold in the room we were in. Shame because the food when it came was nice.

A wonderful Sunday roast with delicious cocktails and wonderful service! Thank you to Will, Tom and Joey for being great hosts and for squeezing us in at the last minute. Dog friendly pub, which is always a bonus, would definitely recommend!!

Not up to usual standard we have not been for a while as the cost of everything makes going out a treat, but as it was my son's Birthday we decided to go for Sunday lunch. We were disappointed with the quality of the food my beef was tough and we sent back the cauliflower cheese because it was burnt. Wonder if they have a different chef because the standards have dropped considerably since the last time we visited.

First time here and quite impressed. Its bigger than it looks from the outside. The food was good and the waitress was excellent, kept us informed throughout and nothing was too much trouble. Nice little outdoor area which reminded me of a Spanish taverna...Parking: Maybe enough for 15 to 20 cars out front.
