Staff and Service
Pros:
"The staff did a remarkable job and was pleasant to customers that in my opinion, were unreasonable."

"Professional, attentive, and welcoming bar staff."

"Service was first class lovely, polite waiting staff, and brought drinks straight away."
"Staff attentive but not intrusive."
"Very friendly staff at this one too!"
Cons:
"I Called on the 23rd September to book a table for the next day. Was told quite rudely that 'we’re not taking bookings for tomorrow' and hung up on."
"from my experience with the amount of wasps and the poor beer that I experienced I didn't fully enjoy my experience."
"Really disappointed! Very over priced (food and alcohol), wasn't impressed by the quality of food either almost seemed microwaved."
"Granddaughter couldn't eat chicken balls as very slimey and chewy."
"Makes Mc Donnalds seem like a Michelin star restaurant, if you like the smell of stale cat urine you will love the Jolly Scotchman."
"We were disappointed that one of our dishes was missing Pico de Gallo when it was served."
"Second time we have had family birthday here this time service was even slower than time before nearly 2hour wait and we pre ordered 2 weeks before going."

Cons:
"Had a roast dinner here, if you like frozen veg then this is definitely for you."
"Unfortunately the roast was average at best."
"Only gave this one star as couldn't give none. To be fair, it was busy but we waited over an hour for our food."
"The fish was completely over battered and over cooked. Totally average pub food. And no taste."
"Not sure what the weird jelly thing was on my plate as it certainly wasn't a grilled chicken breast... Also missing onion rings, wouldn't return. Terrible service too."
"The batter on the onion rings was soggy and soft and the garlic ciabatta was too over cooked that I couldn't even taste any garlic on it."
"Twelve of us ate here today food was plastic and tasteless the mushroom pie was like a bullet could not eat."
Ambiance and Cleanliness
Pros:
"Indoor and outdoor seating with great atmosphere/ ambiance."
"Decor and ambience is a bit rough around the edges but the overall experience is good and family friendly in the restaurant area."
"The HUGE challenges are a great addition to the menu and the cool music in the background is quite comforting."
"Nice clean pub. Huge beer garden."
"A lovely pub that has a nice friendly atmosphere."
"It's a very nice place, interior is very good and looks very friendly."
"The pub has a warm and friendly feel."
Cons:
"Walls need bleaching and the windows were smeared with dirt and hand prints."
"The pub in my opinion is in need of a refurb as its looking tired."
"The toilets, both men and ladies were really bad with wet floors in ladies and sticky floors in the men’s."
"The place was full of fly's and I won't be returning."
"Slight downside with the outside beer garden is quite a few wasps flying around."
"The downside was this afternoon at 4.00pm ish it was full of very small kids running around the bar, which really spoilt a great pub."
"The potato skins were dreadful."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"We found the meal pricing to be very fair, (definitely favourable as compared with prices of other 'pub-chain' menus)."
"Drinks are standard prices."
"Oh and the prices are reasonable especially if you have the daily deals."
"The prices amazing."
"Food is reasonable, and priced accordingly."
"They offer cheaper prices on many meals during weekdays."
"The price was reasonable too."
Cons:
"Parking at busy times is a bit of an issue."
"Garden only for dogs no matter what the weather."
"And then when I complain about the size of the meal I get told 'not my problem I don’t do the portion sizes' not good at all."
"We didn't think it was good value for money. We would have been better with the 2 meals for £8.99 or whatever the price is."
"Advertised surf and turf and the Steak was about 2oz underweight and 4 scampi, borderline stingy imho."
"Overall a long and hungry night with a poor steak and a manager sorely lacking in the most requisite of customer service skills."
"What I got was one piece of very dry corn, I could have gone to Iceland and bought a bag of 6 for £1 !!!!!!!"
