"A good surprise when we entered still felt like a traditional pub with a lot so original features."

"If you're looking for a pub with a welcoming atmosphere, this isn't the one for you."
"No atmosphere. Told we had to sit at the front of the pub even though the whole pub was empty."
"It was also very cold (I almost had to rely on my parker)."
"All this and it was rather expensive and didn't even mention we had to help ourselves to knives folks and that it was not table service."
"Refused to seat my friends and I for Lunch despite there clearly being free tables... 'because we weren't locals'."

"Really good food choices, the best of all cuisine, great fish and chips, just as great Thai green curry."
"The cheesecake was the best I've ever had."
"The food that we have tried was cooked to perfection."
Cons:
"Food? In one word? Rubbish!"
"Steak was hard, vegetable far too raw, chips cold and sogged."
"Paid over £100 for 3 cold roast dinners which isn't even that big with 3 drinks and 2 desserts not really worth it."
"The roast that arrived was lukewarm with thin slices of meat & soggy vegetables."
"Roast was inedible, I’ve never sent a meal back in my entire life but the cheek to charge £18 for what looked like last weeks vegetables, frozen potatoes and thinly sliced beef is astounding."
"My main course of fish and chips, I felt the fish was not fresh, and had been a frozen battered fish in the fryer."
"Seeing huge dogs sitting on the customer chairs and putting their paws on the table is very unhygienic."
