Booked a table for 7pm a week before Xmas. Arrived and taken to table, so far so good. We ordered drinks and starters which took nearly half an hour to arrive. We took out time as we’d checked website and food was being served till 9pm. Placed our order for mains at 8.01pm. Used their app so payment taken immediately. About 5 mins later a server came up to us, probably about 18 yrs of age. Told us kitchen closed at 8pm (this is a Friday), told us they’d refunded our card the practically ran from the table! A shocking way to treat customers and to use a junior member of staff to relay the news. We were never told there kitchen was closing early, not when we arrived or when we received our starter’s. We haven’t been back and never will be.

Cheap and cheerful. Our server Louise was lovely, friendly and attentive. Food was nice but the bun was too small for the sausage although it was tasty.

Slowly getting better with new management and it's handy, but still shocking lack of staff which means slow service a lot of the time. Also empty apart from weekend peak times, with little or no atmosphere. Needs an urgent change of independent owner to breathe life into this potential goldmine.

We have been coming here for over a year now and it has always been a hit or a miss but the last few weeks there has been a noticeable difference in the quality of food and service. Mark has good attention to detail and very polite when interacting with customers.Kid-friendliness: And dog friendly

This pub has come on leaps and bounds since Jamie took over and employed helpful and pleasant staff like Mark and Louise. Long may it
Visited during a Monday afternoon so it was fairly quiet. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was lovely - I opted for the Home Run burger and it was cooked to perfection.

With a three year old and a newborn this is ideal for space for a pram etc as it's a big restaurant, the kids meals are fine they are your average meal a child would like. Can't really go wrong with chicken nuggets and chips, it is very child friendly with toy machines and a little playground outside too.There are some good deals with the main menu too. It is what it is, cheap and cheerful. Staff are friendly.

I've been taking my Mum for 6-8 weeks now on and off, and we've always had great food that's excellent value for money. I particularly recommend the Fish and Chips if you're looking for something from the classic menu.It's a nice layout in the Oystercatcher; good size and lots of room. You certainly won't feel hemmed in or claustrophobic. The indoor Conservatory area is particularly nice when the weather is pleasant, although to be fair I'd probably have been better mentioning that point on one of my earlier visits.The atmosphere is laid back and pleasant, with all the staff being friendly and welcoming. Although we've been going for a couple of months, I did feel on my first visit (and subsequently) that everyone involved in our hospitality has treated us like they've known us as friends for years, which is lovely.Nothing but positive comments to be written for everyone's service on our visits, but a particularly big Thank You to Katelyn in recent weeks, as she's been particularly attentive to our needs and provided us with 1st class Customer Service. Thank You Katelyn, you're a ?The only downside I would mention is that there's currently a 12-8 kitchen opening hours limitation, due to a kitchen staff shortage which seems to be affecting lots of hospitality venues at present. It's a pity as the breakfast menu was particularly good when it was previously available for those of us who like a decent fry up (as a treat once in a while - honest)!Parking: Outside the parking is easy and plentiful, with no great distances to walk if you're struggling with mobility issues.Kid-friendliness: On other occasions we've gone as a family and taken the kids, and similar to the visits outlined above, we've always been well looked after.
