Lots of locals. Food is okay and is general pub grub. Burgers, fish n chipd etc. Busy over Christmas. Friendly staff.

We were in again this year for Christmas Day dinner and the whole experience was excellent. Welcomed by Joe and Pauline and the rest of the excellent staff we were served up an excellent Christmas Dinner. Atmosphere was informal and relaxed and the service was tiptop. We’ll be back again for 2024.

A great family meal. Food was fine and very fairly priced. Claire looked after us like a star. Couldn't fault it.

Our experience on Christmas Day was not positive in anyway, our booking was for 1530, by 1715 we had only had starters, and we had to chase those on numerous occasions.Out mains came and were not as described on the menu, out turkey dinners had no roast potatoes, no pigs in blankets, no red cabbage and no cranberry sauce, seriously disappointing.We left without eating our desserts fully as our taxi came to pick us up.The serving staff did apologise for the delay on our food coming out but it was obvious it was not their fault, the manager was seen initially then was not seen again throughout our visit!Seriously disappointing Christmas Day experience and we’d definitely wouldn’t repeat.The establishment should not take so many bookings if the kitchen can handle the volume.

Was lovely inside, staff were all friendly however the starter was basic but for the price was ok. My problem was then the 45 minute wait for our main course , the table next to our who arrived later were served there main course before us , I eventually had to ask but got no apology when it came food was ok for the price as it a relatively cheap menu however I’d rather pay more for better quality and service.

A lovely place with a good atmosphere . Perfect for a family gathering . The staff are helpful and friendly , very pleasant . We had booked a table , three actually and we were given a secluded area big enough for twelve . The bairns and the dog were made to feel very welcome as well .There was a good vegan menu at a reasonable price , big enough portions and delicious . The coffee with oat milk was really good ,and I'm very fussy about my coffee . I give 10 out of ten for that plus the whole place . I can highly recommend the Justinlees Inn .Dietary restrictions: Very good vegan options

Not a pleasant journey out to this place as they're full menu wasn't available due to "staff shortages" and the new menu was very restrictive. Availability from the new menu was very poor with many items being 'off'. I think, other than curry, there may have been as many as four mai n course options. Discovered after the event that a family member had the very same experience just weeks prior.

Great to see the place back up to its usual self again. Fab meal and great service for family on Sunday.

Kimberley Williamson

Really enjoyed our visit. Enjoyed a Sunday Roast, which was a generous portion and a dessert.Staff were great and really friendly.A huge space with lots of options for seating.Dessert took a while but think we timed it in that lots of food orders had just come in and the manager did come and check on us.Will definitely be back.Parking: Very handy that there's parking on site too.

We enjoyed the gammon steak and pineapple tonight. It’s good value for money . Service was good too!

Food was good,Staff friendly and polite,Will be back to try again as they where a chef and staff members down and had a limited menu

It's nice atmosphere and nice staff. Unfortunately for some time now there is restricted menu. The current menu is very basic and not that appealing. Meals like mix grill or gammon and egg are missing. That's just few to mention. Menu is the one thing you need to improve on.

My daughter and I were shown to our seat after a bit of delay. We were told they were short staffed. We both decided on the vegetarian curry. It was awful. One of the worse meals I have ever had. The curry was lukewarm and the rice was hard and undercooked and came in clumps. I would have complained at the time if anyone had asked.
