• "Just downgraded my rating by 1☆ due to my recent visit. Still a great pub, but spoilt, for the first time, by indifferent bar service with no eye contact or interest!!"
• "Bar staff a bit stand-offish."
• "Once there the staff were friendly but their outdoor seats are REALLY uncomfortable."
• "Had a roast dinner here that cost almost £20! Had two small slithers of roast beef, 3 potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and a small amount of veg. Worst thing was it didn't even taste that good, potatoes tasted reheated."
