Cons:
"It was very busy when we arrived and we were not acknowledged for a few minutes whilst waiting to book in."
"Service on the night we visited was a bit slow - there were staff shortages."
"Only 3 stars as we waited for 25 mins for a standard Sunday roast and the roast potatoes very hard and tasted they had been frozen."
"The upstairs restaurant (which was empty and soulless at this time)."
"An odd pandemic era ordering system was quite cumbersome."
"Over an hour of sipping our drinks no one ever offered to take an order because they said they couldn't do service where we were allowed to sit."
"Waitress never returned to the table for over an hour to get more drinks or ask about anything."

"On our visit they had quite a few empty tables but wouldn’t let us sit down inside without promising to order food."
"Had to go get the cutlery for myself, stuff like this."

"Unfortunately not a great experience...the service was no where it should be considering the cost of the meals."

Value for Money
Pros:
"Only ended up being around £30 each for bread & dip to share, 2x main meals, 2x desserts, 2x cocktails and a soft drink! Super happy with the service and general feel of the pub too."

"Food delicious, and very reasonably priced."
"Used their app to get 50% of main courses."
"The two of us had 3 courses each; starters, mains and desserts, and a bottle of red, the bill total was £92 which is pretty reasonable."
Cons:
"The food is very overpriced for what it is."
"A bit too pricey."
"Price of wine was daylight robbery £11:20 for a glass of Shiraz, that wasn't even very good."
"Cute pub with drinks that are a bit pricey (5-6 pound for a pint)."
"Paid about £130 for 3 adults, starters, mains, a couple of beers and a bottle of wine."
"Had to return my meal since I didn't have my ID with me. Then paid again. I was charged for two meals, then when I emailed them back a few weeks later to chase it they didn't do anything about it. So ended up paying twice the price for a mediocre experience."
"Basically I walked out £30 worse of and still feeling hungry."
