"Food was not nice meat was tasteless potatoes and veg was all dried up gravy was totally inedible and service was disgusting not a nice place."
"However, the terrible, awful food would be expensive at any price."
"The beef was like chewing an old tyre and no amount of chewing would have any effect of this so-called meat."
"Starters came out different times so poor served and main meal well let's say I wouldn't give it to my dog food looked like it sat there all day we didn't even try it."
"The food was bland, all slightly undercooked or under seasoned or just not great quality."
Ambience & Decor
Pros:
"Really lovely place, nice garden with decking, like the idea of cushions on the benches for comfort."

"Our table was in the smaller room at the front of the building. It was a cosy area and decorated very nicely."
Cons:
"The pub is very dated, needing a refit everything very tired."
"Decor tired, but that's no excuse for issues we saw this afternoon."
"Pub nicely decorated but too many tables crammed in so you can hear others conversation."
"Venue was cold and where we were seated was under lit making it hard to read the menu."
"We wondered why there was an empty car park when we pulled in."
"Inside....it's very unclean, dirty and completely unloved with stained carpets and dirty tables."
"The place is absolutely filthy."
Value
Pros:
"The food (carvery) was stupidly cheap - definitely of the pile-it-high variety but would still have represented good value at twice the price."
"Always happy to eat here - a good plateful of food (I've only ever had the carvery option), at a tremendous price."
"Great value carvery, Monday to Saturday (exl Bank Holidays)."
"Pie and a pint for £15.95, individual homemade pies and plenty of variety as well."
"REALLY good food, great value."
"Great value for money, what more could you want."
"You get what you pay for."
Cons:
"It was the last day it was shutting its door for good after visiting this place for over 30 years it was a SAD day."
"An eye watering £10 for a white wine! This is Houghton Regis not central London!"
"We ordered the halloumi fries for starters which wasn't very good quantity wise."
"Too expensive for you get, normal food, just overpriced."
