  • "The mushroom wellington was also a fantastic option."
  • "Their homemade irish soda bread and butter is to die for."

Cons:

  • "The mushroom pate bland... chicken bland and the dip tasted of nothing."
  • "A fish pie main course was so salty it was almost inedible, and one of the rhubarb desserts was dislikeable."
  • "Presentation was nice but taste wasn’t the best, it was a Lot of oil on the food a lot of fat in the meat both pork and beef, chicken was alright, nothing out of this world."

  • "The ultimate way what a lazy sunday afternoon stands for, incl. the music at the background."

  • "The ambiance is actually quite nice and the music was tasteful."
  • "The atmosphere is amazing, its child and animal friendly, the staff ensure that you never want for anything."

Cons:

  • "The only downside for us was that it seems to be a favourite spot of people with young children who can't behave."
  • "The only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is because there was a rather strong smell of sewerage in the outdoor seating area."
  • "Totally inconsiderate to people living around them. When I try to call them to ask to control their guests' behaviour (drunkenly shouting in the garden in the middle of the night) they notoriously don't answer."
  • "I’ve had to buy secondary glazing to deal with the loud and obnoxious guests in their beer garden and the noise remains, to my surprise — appalling."
  • "We were sat in the garden which was so peaceful the only downside was that people around were smoking..."
  • "The whole place just seems really disorganised and not very well run."
  • "There was also an inappropriate photo around my kids while we were eating."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Amazing food for an amazing price."
  • "Excellent food and drink with reasonable pricing."
  • "Great value for money. 2 course = £15, 3 course = £18."
  • "It's hard to beat for value if you get the three course set lunch for £18."
  • "Prices? Just right! I don't know whén, but I wíll come back."
  • "Although it was a little pricey, what we received tasted amazing and well worth the price."
  • "Relatively pricey compared to other gastro pubs in the area, but food, service and atmosphere are worth the price."

Cons:

  • "I just spent £60 on a Sunday Roast I could not eat."
  • "Not worth it I've had far better breakfasts for far less money."
  • "Full english breakfast was decent albeit priced a little bit more than it was worth."
  • "Just two main meals came to over £50! Ironic that the most expensive meal I've had for a while was the worst."
  • "Pricing for a full breakfast was ridiculous at pretty much £14."
  • "We ordered the roast and salmon at an extortionate £23 and £21 each."
  • "The bread was ok but £60 for two average roasts??? Well I'll be damned."
