Cons:

  • "When we complained to the young waiter he took it back to the chef and gave us our money back after speaking the the i presume manager. He did apologise but no do you want anything else, no it was more like heres your money get out, the manager never even bothered come over, couldn't even be bothered give us eye contact."
  • "Extremely disappointing experience in this pub last night... unbelievably poor level of customer service."
  • "Not worth waiting an hour and 10 minutes for food when the pubs nearly empty."
  • "Took us ages to get served as the lads behind the bar kept serving others first."

  • "Nice atmosphere in the pub."

Cons:

  • "Nice local town pub, visited a number of times this year and in the past, but feels like it needs a good clean as each time I visit the tables are sticky and the carpets too."
  • "It would be better not to have a carpeted bar area as it always gives that stale beer smell."
  • "As a table of 8 we came in and restaurant was clean enough bar the plastic flowers on the table being covered in dust."
