Good basic carvery. Slightly over cooked veg and only one small slice of each meat given. It was well cooked though. Delicious gravy!

Got to give this place 5 stars as, whilst it's really just an average pub, the carvery is excellent in terms of choice and also very good value. Large variety of deserts too. Friendly staff, good service, plenty of parking when we visited round it off.

Arrived early and the woman told us to stand at the bar. I'm disabled and can't stand for long. The staff don't know much about customer service a smile or a greeting goes a long way. Been here a few times and it hasn't change much.

The place was filthy, black mold all up the wall and windows. Wall paper was soaking wet, Great big black cob webbs everywhere!. Such as shame I have heard so many lovely things about this place so I was really looking forward to it!. We sat rite next to the buffet, We had the breakfast which was nice slightly over cooked but overall good. Unfortunately because the place was so dirty it put us of our food so we will not be returning!

Wow, this place is fabulous. I stayed overnight in my campervan in the spacious car park and had a drink and carvery. The food was excellent, piping hot, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were all lovely. I was travelling alone with my Dog Dixie who was spoilt by every member of staff. We definitely go back again and recommend anyone to visit there. Thank you all very much.Parking: Great for Campervan stopovers. Would phone ahead to book a space and table.

Came here today after being out all morning shopping, my mother’s food came but mine didn’t the gentleman behind the bar can over and apologised as there was a mix up in the kitchen. He came over 5 minutes later with a full refund for my meal which I didn’t expect as I was more then happy to wait as I know mistakes happen sometimes but my food came out and it was outstanding. Would highly recommend to anyone and the staff are lovely

We booked a table for 4pm. We ended up getting there earlier than expected. It was so busy as usual so didn't think we get a table but the lady was more than accommodating, she got us a table straight away. The food was amazing and fresh and great value for money. Definitely recommend.

Superb array of breakfast items all hot and freshly cooked. I'd advise booking in advance for a Saturday if you want to ensure you have a table.

We arrived at 6.18pm for a table booked at 6.30pm. We were told our table wasn't ready and asked to wait at the bar. I asked if there were any seats, as my wife is disabled and we wers told No! Although shortly afterwards someone bought a seat for her. I went to the bar and ordered a drink and asked for the drinks to be put on our tab. The barman asked me for our table number. When I told him we hadn't been allocated a table yet he said we should pay for them separately. I called over the person checking people in and she told the barman to put the cost of the drinks against my name. Another couple arrived, also booked for 6.30pm and were told to wait as well. Then a third couple arrived, also booked at 6.30pm and were taken straight to their table. A large party of 12-14 started to leave and we were told our table was being prepared. After, about 5 minutes were taken to a tablewhich had been empty since we arrived. There was food troden into the carpet under our table. We sat there and nothing happened. My wife asked one of the passing staff what was the procedure for ordering. We were told we had to order at the bar. The same bar where we had been seating for over 15 minutes. We were asked if you wanted a menu, which we did. Why couldn't we have been given a menu whilst we were waiting? We went to the bar, ordered two carveries +2 deserts for £11.99 each, which is very cheap. We were given tickets to take to the carvery and there was no one there to serve. After about 3-4 minutes the chef arrived. The food was reasonable, especially for the price, but not very tasty.

Really good selection of food, plenty of meat served and it was lovely and tender.
