Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Lovely food (from a menu of solid pub classics) and friendly service."
  • "The food is exceptional and the staff are so fast and friendly and totally put us at ease during this difficult time, even on the busy days!"
  • "Would really recommend the beetroot and butternut squash tart, absolutely delicious."
  • "Each course was presented well and all in all the food was excellent."
  • "Great flaky pastry pie with extra gravy and chunky chips."
  • "Recommend the sticky toffee and rum cake with custard!!!"
  • "The food is some of the best we have eaten."

Cons:

  • "The peas were overcooked."
  • "Chicken is dried out and solid, burger bun and burger was rock solid and burnt, any cheese was dried out and not at all stringy."
  • "Sausages were like the cheap ones at school, the mash was a solid mass of microwaved something and the gravy ended up with a sludge!"
  • "The roast was disappointing cooked in a microwave! Not the roast we were expecting. Hard veg, soggy roast potatoes!"
  • "The roast potatoes and Yorkshire were prepacked frozen ones and the food took absolutely ages to arrive."
  • "One Lamb roast and one Beef. lamb tasted like charcoal, Yorkshires burned to a crisp and parsnips that you couldn’t pierce with a fork, dried up veg that must have been under the heat waiting to be served for hours."
  • "The gammon was thin and dry, the chicken drumsticks were also dry and tasted vile."

  • "We left all the food on the plate, and the waiters didn't ask what was wrong. They just didn't care at all."
  • "Unfortunately after 4 visits the waiting time makes it all horrible."

  • "Wait staff were excellent but felt very let down by the managing and running of the place."

Atmosphere

Value

Pros:

  • "The only thing I would say is that beer is quite expensive but when you consider the price of the food, the meal isn't expensive at all."
  • "Great food, reasonably priced."
  • "Despite being a small pub in the London commuter belt, this was excellent value for money."
  • "We stopped by for a Sunday roast, which was amazing value with free extra potatoes and Yorkshires, the desert was lovely also."
  • "The food (bangers and mash) was amazing and the apple crumble was very good."
  • "Outside area is really impressive and looks great."
  • "The bill was split between families in such away that each family paid for what they had had."

Cons:

  • "The app took a long time to set up and order from (about 25 minutes before we were able to put our order in, which was a bit rubbish- the app being hard to navigate, that bit a 1 star)."
  • "Very busy, we were told there was a 45 minute wait for food so we decided not to order food."
  • "When you pay good money you expect good service and food."
  • "For the price of the food I was disappointed to receive a dish that looked and tasted like something akin to an order from Jennys Cafe."
  • "Portions slightly on the small side for a main course."
  • "Ale was mediocre. Despite advertising food till 10pm, we were told at 8:45 food was no longer being served."
  • "The rocket salad for the decoration was dry and not fresh at all."
