In the top 2 or 3 Sunday lunches I have ever experienced ( and I am 70) - can not fault any aspect - menu, service and food quality and setting. Keep on doing more of the same -

We love this local. The pub is cosy, with a log burner in winter and an outdoors deck in summer. The menu has a good variety of things. Service is quick and very accommodating. They are amazing with kids and they put on some great events for all the family. All around win!

So glad this pub has been saved having been closed for so long! Incredible refurbishment, both inside and out. Food is delicious and usually served quite quickly. Appreciated the half term offer of children eat free with an adult meal! I’d love for initiatives like this to continue. I know plans for a new children’s play area are underway with fundraising events which will only increase the appeal to us! Thank you!Dietary restrictions: They have catered to my allergy previously.Kid-friendliness: Nice choice of children’s meals. Highchairs available. Added bonus of half term offers :)Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible and has allocated parking spaces. One door has a bit of a threshold but the other door is also accessible.

Safe, great queuing arrangements, lovely outdoor seating, nice pintChange of management, but so far seems pretty good. Still a little expensive, but a really good

Good roastsKid-friendliness: There were four children in our party. The staff were patient and friendly. Maybe there could have been some colouring books or something provided for them to do as an extra to what we had provided

Food was tasty and there was plenty of it. The staff were attentive without be bothersome.The only small cloud was they only had one ale on tap, on the plus side the one they had was well kept.

We were expecting great things. We'd had an excellent Sunday lunch at the Castle in November for around £25 a head and so were expecting something special for our £85 per head Christmas dinner. Sadly we were disappointed. The Christmas dinner was not as good as our November Sunday lunch had been. We had to stand waiting a long time to be seated for the 2.30pm second sitting in the crowded pub. My Dad is 88 and I was on crutches with a broken ankle. When we were finally shown to our table, there were no table cloths on the bare pub tables. White paper table cloths would have been nice, with possibly a candle or two? There was a plastic tinsel table runner on the otherwise bare and sticky pub tables, and probably the cheapest Christmas crackers that could possibly have been found. There were very scant Christmas decorations in the dining area under rather bright lights. We were offered a small plate of very small canapes between us and a small glass of prosecco was included with the meal. The 'Lobster' starter was mostly just prawns in a Mary Rose sauce on a piece of lettuce with a little dry bread and no butter, although I'm told the mushroom soup was quite nice. We then had to wait well over an hour for our main course. When it arrived the turkey was well cooked and there was enough of it, but the 'trimmings' were sadly lacking. There was only one small platter of vegetables between the four of us, so we had half a very small carrot each and two tiny sprouts with about a teaspoon of cabbage. There was a Yorkshire pudding and a couple of rather under cooked roast potatoes and some cauliflower cheese and only one pig-in-blanket each. And that was it. There was no stuffing, no parsnips, no bread sauce and we had to ask for some cranberry sause which was eventually provided. Really very poor. The main course was followed by two tiny slices of Christmas pudding in a white sauce and a couple of chocolates each with a cup of coffee. Having paid £340 for the four of us we were then charged another £57 for a bottle of Prosecco with our dinner and the four drinks we had while waiting, bringing the total for the four of us to £397. We expected to pay perhaps three or even four times the price of a good Sunday lunch for a Christmas day Christmas dinner, and this would have been fair had some effort gone into it. But this had all the symptoms of cost-cutting. It was frankly mean. Nearly £400 for the four of us for this rather poor Christmas dinner meant we came away feeling cheated. We won't be going again.
