Cons:

• "Staff did not know the food our drinks menu."
• "When I complained to the waitress all our reply was .... Oh sorry about that! None impressed and will not be returning here again as was most disappointed."
• "Visited a couple of Saturdays ago Possibly the most laughable social distancing one way system in any pub... if you dare come back on yourself the fat manager with glasses on tells you off like a schoolteacher."

• "By the time my meal came out the rest of the table had finished theirs."
• "The staff were all useless with no customer service at all and the manager was rude and totally uninterested."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Stoped in on a sunny afternoon... the food was excellent and they were brilliant with the children, would highly recommend it."
• "However, you can't knock the prices or the food. There's plenty of it, and it tastes good."
• "What an amazing dog friendly pub with brilliant food."
• "Food was lovely, hot fresh and we did not have to wait long."

• "Had a cracking Sunday lunch beef duo, the long rib was superb."
• "The food was really nice and tasted delicious."

Cons:

• "Only disappointment was the Mushroom Wellington. Lots of puff pastry, but no mushrooms and a small amount of rice and spinach."
• "The mixed grill and a pint of San miquel was almost 20 quid. I wouldn't be lying if I said witherspoons was better."
• "Had a mixed grill, won't be having it again. Wasn't the best, black pudding tasted like dirty fat and didn't taste like black pudding, chips were re fried, egg was crispy round the edges and tasted like the black pudding."
• "Overall if I'm honest save your money and get a pot noodle, you'll enjoy it more."
• "The food served was substandard, garlic bread - toast with garlic butter???"
