Recently sat down to a family meal here and was very pleasantly surprised at how tasty the fare was (the menu was extensive, but we thought we would opt for the Greek specials). I would consider some of us to be 'picky eaters', but there were no complaints and empty plates all round.Additionally, the pub was cosy and warm. Personally, I don't mind 'Smooth radio' playing in the background. It was pleasant and unobtrusive.All in all, we enjoyed good food in a good venue. I would happily return. Thank you.

Highly recommended. Very nice, friendly staff. Beautiful food. English and Greek cuisine which is fantastic as you can't be bored with food. Not too loud and overcrowded. Everything was just perfect. I would not change anything in that place. Definitely going to come back.

We visited today for lunch. We hadn’t booked but easily found a table for four of us, although it got quite a lot busier as time went on.We perused the extensive and interesting menu and chose four different dishes: chicken souvlaki, stuffed beef and lamb kofta (both served with chips, salad, pitta and tzatziki), chicken curry served with rice and poppadom and finally a sizzler dish of duck breast which came with a choice of sauce (we had plum), peppers, onions, and a choice of either fries, chips or rice and salad.All dishes were served piping hot, were fresh, delicious and plentiful. The Greek dishes were authentic so I assume the owners and/or chef are Greek as it was really very good.Everyone really enjoyed everything served not only to them but each other as we are a family who like to try each others!We had no space for dessert, sadly but they looked pretty good too.Our friendly server checked on us to make sure everything was good both during our meal and afterwards; which I always appreciate - fortunately everything was perfect but I always like the opportunity to raise any concerns.Our food bill with drinks came to roughly £70 which was very reasonable given the quantity and quality of the food.They do serve cheaper/lighter options too as well as sandwiches, baguettes etc.I popped outside to the garden to vape after our meal and was pleasantly surprised to see they have patio heaters to keep you toasty warm if you sit outside on the chillier days.I would not hesitate to return and am happy to recommend this establishment.Final note: My mother uses a rollator walker and was able to negotiate the steps in without too much difficulty; however I would suggest wheelchair users should check for accessibility as ramps might be needed?Parking: Several car parks within easy walking distance and some limited on street parking.

Below average for room only price. Very worn and dated: sheet didn't fit on bed, awful quality pillows and towels, bathroom and bedroom mouldy walls. Teabags should be supplied in a wrapper not loose. Carpet in terrible condition.Nowhere to leave key on checkout as were no instructions or anyone to see.Would appreciate a refund.

We had a really rubbish experience and wouldn’t want the same to happen to other people!We were a table of six at Saturday lunchtime so very aware it’s a busy time and we were a larger table so when we ordered and were told food would take half an hour we were fine without. Once it got over half an hour we ordered some coffees. They were awful! If you can only make instant coffee just say. We had flat whites and lattes and they were just instant coffee with a bit of cold froth on.We asked how long our food would be after a 40 minute wait and were told it was coming out next. We waited another 10 minutes and asked again and she said the bar lady went into the kitchen and said it would be 15 minutes (even though we were just told it was coming!) and at that point we did not wait to wait anymore, we wanted to get on with the day and did not appreciate being lied to. When we went to the bar to just pay for the drinks we were told actually the kitchen hadn’t started making our food yet!!!???Again we appreciate Saturday lunchtime being busy (there were a lot of empty tables though throughout the time we were there?) and if they are short staffed too but do not lie. There was no communication other than when we went up to ask, had the communication been good meaning we knew exactly what was going on we would have been understanding and probably stayed. There was no apology either just excuses. There is never a good enough excuse to lie!

We visited the Bucks Head on Tuesday evening and were surprised to find there was a Greek menu. I had the stuffed kofta and my friend had the chicken gyros. We’re both absolutely gorgeous. The two ladies behind the bar were also very helpful, Caitlin and Joanna.

Had a very lovely experience today. They were doing Sunday roasts and they were very tasty. Sophie and Caitlin behind the bar were very helpful.

Waited over an hour for overpriced tasteless food. Steak was impossible to cut, even the dog wasn't sure of it. Ordered a veg tart for my vegan/veggie partner and the cheese wasn't listed on the menu. Radio station played overhead with ads Included ruined the meal. £4 for 2 bits of garlic break was the line really.Fine for pub grub but way over priced.
Emma Brown
Staff were lovely. Me and my Boyfriend came in here to kill time before getting the train back. The lovely lady told us about the Greek Islands we should visit.
An excellent pub. Great selection of food and drinks. We had baguettes, which were really nice and great value. The young team clearly work as a team... very pleasant, quick and efficient service. Very clean. On a super setting with lots of car parking space close by. Highly recommended!
Mark Jones
Food was OK and the bitter was good, but a classic lack of care by the staff, really squeeky door that was noisey thought the bar, would only require a spot of Wd40 by a staff member that cared, not great atmosphere with bright lights and music provided by a radio.
Andrew McDonald
An excellent public house. With a good selection of food. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I would like to highly recommend this place.
