"Really disappointing quality of food since the refurb. Lots of items not available and what we did have definitely wasn’t worth the money."
"The pastry was cold, the frozen veg was barely cooked."
"Such a disappointment. First visit after the refurb. We used to love the food there. Food absolutely shocking."
"First time back today, what a disaster waited 40 minutes for 3 full English breakfasts. I can honestly say that it's the worst meal we have ever had anywhere."
"Been here on several occasions and always been great...however...went this weekend and the steak was overcooked and the pork very dry... Very bad customer service."
"The majority of the items we ordered were unavailable including desserts. The food we did have was not acceptable."

Cons:
"Rude 'service'. Took over 30 mins for 1 member of staff to even ask if we wanted a drink, and asked rudely."
"Walked into the pub and felt unwelcome. Staff were rude, sarcastic and not helpful even though the pub was practically empty."
"The landlady was quite abrupt and not forthcoming when changing something in the order."
"Sadly a terrible off pint, but it was just before closing so didn't complain."
"4 of us went out for a meal, had to wait 30-45 minutes until we were 'allowed' to order our food."
"We went in for a meal with our little boy and two friends. We put our little boy in a high chair, ordered our meals and drinks and began feeding our baby. 15 minutes later a waitress came over and said she needed the high chair for someone else who booked it so we would need to take him out."
"Management of this place seems to be in the gutter."
