In short: It’s bad. Like, really bad; makes Wetherspoons seem like paradise.This is a sinking ship. I work supplying the pub trade and I can tell you that this pub is in deep trouble.The food is horrific, the dining area is filthy and most of the staff cannot be bothered.Allergy information is as basic as it could possibly be. No list of ingredients.I asked for a beer so naturally the waitress listed lagers. When I asked for proper beer she froze and eventually came up with an IPA; let’s face it, an IPA is only on the cusp of being a proper ale.The pub is owned by Green King. They’re a brewery. So where is all the Green King ale? Who knows?I imagine that this place is surviving by serving lunches to OAP’s shopping at the B&Q next door.Supplying pubs for 10 years has given me enough experience to say that you should not go anywhere near here. If Green King is competent and they become aware of the conditions at this pub, it will shut for renovation immediately along with a mass firing.

Hotel in need if some TLC but the breakfast has been spot on. The poached eggs have been the best I’ve ever had. Big thank you to Tina for her hospitality it was lovely to have a friendly face and chat every morning whilst being away from home for the week. ☺️Rooms: In need of a deeper clean and some TLC.

We visited before Christmas with our two children aged 8 and 10 On arrival we were shown to our table and sat down to order, our drinks which did come quickly…however after this is went down hill. We eventually ordered our meals after about 20 minutes of waiting as the waitress admitted she had been talking to a colleague and forgotten to come over to our table to take our order. When we did get the chance to order my wife and I ordered a sharing platter and my children ordered theirs from the children’s menu. After a short wait, the children’s starters arrived but the sharing platter never arrived, the waitress had not put through our order. She also admitted that they hadn’t taken for our mains - at this point we were very disappointed and decided to leave - we told the manager who was very understanding and apologised. Fair to say we won’t be retuning

Food was cold so Sent it back, the replacement was OK but past the hunger time waiting for it. Not good at all.
Ordered steaks which were nice, really like the peppercorn sauce with them!

Food was good, but we booked a table at 12pm due to having a 1 year old and a diabetic. We ordered and waited an hour for food - by the time we got our food, we had a sick diabetic, an angry 1 year old and we were stressed.

The steak was perfect. Service a bit slow but they did have a couple of large groups. I would go again.

Firstly, the order was taken wrong so one of the meals brought to our table was wrong. This wasn’t ideal as there was a very long 1 hour wait for the meals when the pub did not seem to be very busy at all. We were not brought cutlery and had to find condiments ourselves and not once were asked how the food was. Would not recommend. One star is just because it’s dog-friendly
