Ambience and Facilities
Pros:
"Lovely pub and beer gardens."
"The interior is spacious, yet cosy and welcoming with a large selection of draughts and bottles on offer."
"Tonnes of parking at the back, tonnes of seating inside and out."
"This was an attractive location, and we would. There is plenty of seating outside."
"A lovely pub with a great atmosphere."
"The Country Girl is a lovely place for all. No matter what, you will enjoy the peace, chills and ambience of the really rustic settings, perfect for everyone, even your dogs."
"It looks cosy from the outside and is incredibly cosy on the inside."
Cons:
"Had a nice evening here, however have been hit with an £85 parking ticket, reduced to £50 if you pay within 14 days, so beware, I parked in the disabled parking as I have a blue badge, assuming it was free for disabled."
"The wait for the food was 1 hour and 20 minutes and when it came it was too a poor standard. It's also in need of a refurb with most of the chairs being well worn with holes."
"Recent refurb is questionable, tried 3 different tables which were all very wobbly and needed a few beer mats under to make them useable, bar area and floors sticky."
"The smell of beer in the atmosphere was intense and the table was sticky."
"Place is a little run down and and not very clean considering it's an Ember."
"The ladies toilets are absolutely disgusting."
"Toilets were unkempt, no toilet paper, sinks dirty."

Cons:
"Food was cheap. I'd suggest make it slightly more expensive and better quality."
"Undercooked steak, overcooked ribs, all other meals were poor, had better at a wetherspoons!"
"Over priced for quality, service & portion size."
"Nice friendly place with good food... watch out for additional supplements which add a few quid to your food bill."
"Turns out the vegan burger doesn’t come with chips bc they can’t be bothered to make them in a separate fryer."
