Food Quality
Pros:
"Amazing food. Yumm. The best gluten free fish and chips and onion rings I ever had."
"Great vegetarian Sunday roast!"
"The beef brisket is lovely and I’ve also had the Kiev which I was sad to see not on there this time but it didn’t matter as the roast chicken was fantastic and cooked to perfection."
"The smoked brisket was perfectly made and the gravy just topped it off."
"The food was excellent and staff were very attentive."
"The haggis scotch egg was amazing and definitely something to get and the lamb roast that they had that was off menu was cooked perfectly and fell apart in my mouth when eating."
"The food here is as good as any pub I've been too."
Cons:
"The Cesar salad, priced at £9 was limp and slimy and was nothing at all what a Cesar salad should be."
"I was very disappointed on the amount of food and the selection they provided."
"The nut roast was very salty and the Chocolate Nemesis was more of some crumbled cake with some cream on top."
"Food wasn't very good. Burger was very salty. The steak was very fatty and not worth the price. Mac n cheese was very bland."
"What ever you do don't order any food!! All our food was rubbish, no qualified chef, everything microwaved even my daughter's rare steak!!"
"The meat wasn’t that great."
"We ordered 11 meals and all the potatoes were hard as granite and cold."
Service
Pros:
"Attentive staff and good food but the grassy garden area was fouled with dog poo."
"The staff were accommodating and even though we arrived earlier and with a couple less people they were still all smiles and were fast and efficient with their service."
"From the moment I contacted Rodney a few months before he was super helpful."
"Along with the quality grub, the service was courteous, attentive and with a constant smile."
"Your team went above and beyond ensuring everyone always had drinks and looking after our older guests."
"The staff are friendly and helpful, letting members of the social bike ride I was on fill up their water bottles on a scorching summer's day."
"The staff were very nice, helpful and attentive."
Cons:
"The manager was just as rude as he stated that he told his wife to come down and sort out the noise."
"However we didn’t receive much of an apology at all."
"Sadly, some furniture is showing signs of wear."
"The manager is openly rude to his staff members and shows no professionalism or kindness with his words."
"One of the staff was very rude about our group in a public place."
"Service is much slower than I would expect even at not particularly busy times and I've had drinks mixed up and poorly poured pints."
"However, the food is overpriced and service was poor - we waited half an hour for staff to clear plates before doing it ourselves."
Ambience and Facilities
Pros:
"Totally dog friendly inside and out- immediately brought my dog her own water bowl when we sat down."
"The portions were good, the ambience of the pub was overall a nice vibe."
"Dog friendly and offer a kids menu, and happy to bring some crayons for colouring."
"Beautifully renovated to a high spec, loving the outdoor heating lights and seatings, highly recommend this place."
"Especially coming up to summer now the outside space is large and will seat a lot of people without being crowded and they have music playing which is a nice touch."
"Very homely pub. Love this place. Especially in the summer plenty of outdoor seating set off the main road."
"A great pub, housed in the oldest farmhouse in the area, parts of which are about 500 years old."
Cons:
"The grassy garden area was fouled with dog poo."
"Shame it would have been good with more people. Get down there before another pub closes !!"
"If you have children and they are not going to sit in silence at the table I would avoid this pub."
"The food was good and reasonably priced there is a large garden outside with plenty of tables and chairs for Al fresco eating should you wish only one complaint inside is cramped with black walls not very inviting."
"Not suitable for people in wheelchairs no ramps lots of steps small toilets."
"So disappointed last night, 8pm & there was a man clearly drunk & very verbal to control the pub."
"The gents toilets are stinking so bad the whole bottom part stunk."

Cons:
"Way too expensive for pub grub!!"
"The food is quite expensive and you do not get very big portions!!"
"However, the food is overpriced."
"The food is definitely overpriced!"
"It was overpriced, a lot of things on the menu (we were told had run out) then we overheard other people able to order it."
"The food was lovely but we felt was very overpriced."
