What has happened? This used to be a wonderful place, with good food and service I have been so many times over the years. On Saturday it was booked for a birthday meal and the food was below average, the burgers were burnt. We had to keep getting up to go to the bar to get drinks as there was no service. It took an age to clear plates. We had to ask for the dessert menu (only wanted for my 2 boys) as they got excited about pudding like most kids. The ice cream tasted off and we were told the machine was broken so thats why. The £30 deposit paid was left on the bill and when we told him the waiter rolled his eyes and walked off. I won't be going again, the staff are rude and the food poor.

So shocked by our experience here. The staff were miserable. The food all came out separately with long waits in between. By the time they brought condiments out we were nearly done. The pasta was cold and uneatable. Another guests fish pie had bones in it. There were children walking freely in and out of the kitchen. Afraid will not be returning.

We were a party of 6 for a birthday celebration so had booked in advance and paid a £30 deposit to secure and reserve a specific round table which I was assured, over the phone was available and I repeated the request to the woman and she confirmed this to me. However when we arrived on time, the table was occupied. I was extremely disappointed and upset snd the waitress said 'well if there's 4 parties requesting it' then never continued withe the explanation. As far as I'm concerned it's ridiculous to not say to any other customer that the table is already reserved. Then to add insult to injury when we received the bill it was massively incorrect. We had been charged double for each drink and quadruple for one of them, and the £30 deposit had not been deducted! So a trip up to the bar to get it rectified, not much of an apology and then after paying , discovered a glass of wine was still charged at the wrong price had to return again to get a refund, again a half hearted apology. The food was good but 2 of the party's meals came out much later. Birthday was spoilt and has now put me off returning. Such a shame.

Friendly staff however service was bad we went as a party of 6 to celebrate a birthday orders came willy nilly and dessert was a disaster we were waiting ages for desserts to then be told the ice cream machine was broken and that although we ordered 2 creme brulle they had run out in the end we gave up and even though they took the £30 deposit off the bill was still £167 for a service that was well below par this pub needs to greatly improve it's in house service and running

We haven't been here since before COVID and all we can say is that it was fantastic from the minute we came through the door and we were greeted by Emma who we found out was actually part of the family that owns The Black Boy. The food, atmosphere and friendlyness was outstanding,we would recommend anybody to visit here young or old.

Booked for 4 at 2.30 but the lady couldn't find us. Service was a bit slow some staff needed waking up and a smile wouldn't have killed .
