This is an amazing place to dine. We had actually been there before, a year ago, and it was so good, we went back. My wife had never eaten mushrooms until she had them here. Now, if I want extra, I have to order more. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The chef actually came out to talk with us. The manager and her daughter were amazing and friendly. The business is very clean and accommodating. We will return, and we highly recommend it.

2 adults 1child I'll start with the positive first the girls were lovely. Now the negatives ordered a latte coffee which was undrinkable as it was so bitter. 2main courses were ok but 1 was terrible, it was meant to be a chicken burger bit it was just a lump of undercooked chicken that was full of water & had some blood init, on a bun definitely wasnt a chicken burger, it got sent straight back, my b/f was offered another meal bit he lost his appitite after seeing that. He ordered a drink that never arrived. Our granddaughter ordered caramel apple pie & ice cream the pie was lukewarm at best & the pastry wasnt cooked properly either. We've been coming to the stables on and off for years and the food has always been good but unfortunately i cant say the same for the food now,I dont know if it's changed hands, but the food and menu is nowhere near as good as it used to be. So on that, we sadly wont be going back.

Wouldn’t rush back for food, service slow and nobody interested after the mains were served. Ended up going to the bar for an additional drink, so many fruit flies which actually put us off staying any longer.

Visited here twice while staying in the area. Travelled from Durham. The service was excellent and staff were very friendly! Some of our family were delayed and this was not a problem! Halloumi fries were excellent, steak cooked to perfection, puddings great! This was all half the price of our local restaurants! Worth a visit!

We found this cracking pub from some good reviews on the Web and we we're so happy we did.The food was very tasty, the price very reasonable for what we had and the staff were all very friendly.We will definitely be stopping by again next time we're in this area again.Easy 5 ?

Review is regarding staff rather than the food, which looked nice enough. We had about 16 adults and 7 kids sitting in the beer garden area celebrating the day after our wedding. I called ahead to see if we could order food sitting outside without a booking and was told yes.Not everyone wanted food, but the kids certainly did, along with a couple of fish and chips/pizza orders, nothing major. The first order was made for all the kids, except for mine. I went to order a few minutes later for my 6 and 2 year old only and was told no. They had to prioritise their restaurant guests over beer garden guests. The restaurant was only half full. I explained it was just two kids meals I was after as all the other kids has been ordered for. Was still told no and to “try again in half an hour”. After trying to order again for over an hour and a half we left.Several times we went to ask even if the two kids could just have chips, a small pizza or whatever and the answer was always no. Upon leaving I went back in to complain and the attitude from the women was absolutely disgusting. I think she was embarrassed that her restaurant guests heard they wouldn’t serve some chips to a 6 year old.Spent a good bit on money, £200 plus i’s guess, lots of us very local. You expect the place to be very kid friendly with the park etc but obviously not. The blonde womens words were “i’m not here to serve your kid”.Shame, could be a great place for families as there isn’t many places with park facilities around but certainly wouldn’t recommend whilst these staff/owners are still there.

Had my retirement doo here 20th May 2023 with work colleagues and friends. Can't thank them enough for the hospitality and putting up with us on the karaoke. Food was delicious!!
Bog standard pub food. Won’t be rushing back Food was bland and had to send my beer back as it was flat.

Not been in a few years, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed.Firstly the server was not friendly or chatty. Very short and gave over the impression that they didn't want to be there.I ordered the Mac n cheese burger. Which looked disappointing. A Brioche bun with some salad on the bottom then a burger, with a spoon of runny Macaroni on top. Not sure what I expected but it wasn't that.My wife's dish (sausage and mash). Looked better presented.The food was fine but fairly ordinary.On a more positive note compared to the competition, the prices were very reasonable.Parking: Fairly large carpark. Usually, find empty spaces on arrival.

This place unused to be wonderful and relaxing. I visited with 5 friends for dinner on pre- booked table 2 days ago. One of our party was served the wrong drink, Ok, this was sorted. when it came to dessert, one of our party asked for banoffee pie from the time, no bananas, fell into a song! Then no cheese after asking for cheese board. To top it all the blonde women behind the bar ( was abrupt, no smiling and no people skills). I will not visit again to be made to feel as if we were intruding on this woman's time. The other staff were lovely. no complaints. I hope this blonde lady reads this and, takes up a course on customer service skills Thankyou

Went in today at lunch time, hadn't booked, place was half empty. Asked for a table for two, was asked if we had booked, said we hadn't. Woman working behind the bar actually tutted, huffed and shook her head. Said there were no tables. We went to leave and she shouted that we could have a table near the bar and buy a drink, but would be a long wait for food. No thanks. Left and went to the tea house instead where we were treated like actual paying customers. Blond woman behind the bar was horrible. Won't be back

Staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly the portions were a good size, and my grandson liked the kiddies menu, plenty of choices for him!Kid-friendliness: The staff were lovely to my wee grandson, and the kids menu was lovely
