Value for Money
Pros:
"The three course deal is great.. Really good quality food."
"Definitely great value for money."
"The menu offer of three courses for £12 represents great value."
"Three courses for £12 really can't be argued against."
"Where else can you get three courses, repeat three courses for £10.00. Amazing."
"The 3 course meals there are so much value for money it's unreal!"
"3 courses for £10 bargain."
Cons:
"Food was okay but nowhere near as good as it used to be."
"The Christmas menu was a joke, starter very poor, venison crumble described as fabulous, rubbish, festive pâté was shop bought plain stuff."
"Rip off price for a carvery of which normal prices are £13.00 - £14.00, their price is £25.00."
"Been in today for a 2 course carvery. £69.00 for 2 adults and a child. Never paid so much anywhere."
"I then find out after looking at the receipt that we was charged £79.80 for 4 adults and a whooping £15.95 for a 5 year old."
"The single most awful carvery I've ever experienced, I am vegan and had a cauliflower option which was straight from a freezer."
"Drinks are a little on the pricy side."

"The food was delicious, the starters were really delicious, the carvery had plenty of choice the meat was gorgeous and tender."
"The food was excellent and plentiful."
Cons:
"The carvery was absolutely dire - only the Yorkshire pudding was good. Bland meat, the most unroasted roast potatoes I’ve encountered, overcooked vegetables, greasy sloppy stuffing, insipid gravy."
"The food was nothing short of awful!"
"The beef was awful, chewy no taste."
"The carvery was luke warm and not particularly enjoyable."
"The lamb tasted like it was off and neither of us ate it, the veg was overdone and not pleasant."
"The steak was cooked well and to our liking but absolutely tasteless with no flavour."
"The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding and stuffing was like concrete and inedible."
Service
Pros:
"Served by a proper gent who was very calm considering how busy it was for a Wednesday."
"The service was friendly and good."

"Service of staff was 2nd to none."
"Served by friendly efficient staff."
"Staff were excellent, everyone very friendly food was excellent and value for money could not be bettered."
"The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient!"
Cons:
"Some of the staff appeared like they didn’t want to be there especially the bar staff."
"Also slightly off putting hearing members of staff disrespecting others members of staff while we were eating."
"But some of the staff were not very attentive and didn't seem like they knew what they were doing."
"The service was extremely slow and we had steaks that were all overcooked and dry."
"Service was very slow, seemed like they had too many bookings for the amount of staff."
"Lady serving behind bar was very, very unwelcoming, everything seemed too much hassle."
"Not very friendly staff, wasn't met or served in a friendly way."
Ambience and Cleanliness
Pros:
"Clean, nice surroundings, beautiful gardens."
"Firstly, the venue itself is amazing and beautiful to be in."
"It is a beautiful pub restaurant quirky characteristic lots of cosy spaces to sit in garden beautiful pretty trees with lights outside seating."
"The car park is well maintained. It needs to be as the pub is busy due to the excellent value that it represents."
"Lovely decorated pub (even the toilets were special)."
Cons:
"The bathrooms are an utter disgrace. The ladies featured a toilet seat half hanging off, laden with pubic hairs, and everywhere was coated in a layer of several days' worth of dirt and dust- amongst other things."
"The ambience was manic and a bit of a scrum to get to the service counter."
"Always chaotic and staff running around like headless chickens."
"We were seated so close to the next table there was no way we were 2 metres apart."
"Very busy...too busy for me, packed in too much."
"Decorations were a bit much as the lighting was too bright, cables running down walls with thin electric lighting wires taking the weight of extension cables. Certainly not safe electrics."
