Cons:

• "One of those places where the chef's like to over cook the fish and make it crusty and hard."

• "Kevin was very welcoming, made us feel very comfortable."

Cons:

• "There is no service whatsoever, you order everything from the bar, food, if you try and catch a waiter walking past they look at you and carry on walking."
• "Not once we're we approached to see about taking away the plates or ask us if we were ready for mains."
• "We ordered a table to watch the football. It turned out they couldn't do that. The way we was dealt with made us feel so small."
• "Frequent user here with my family and tonight I visited with my 12 month old. Requested a table and highchair, was told to find my own table and get our own highchair."
• "Staff didn't help at all. Plus kids were going up the wall so I will never revisit. No idea what happened in the kitchen."
• "When ordering food, check clearly food availability. We ordered Sunday lunch as advertised, but it was all cleared away by 6.00pm."

• "Visited here with work for and over night in the Premier Inn, wouldn't recommend to book the meal deal, food was limited when ordering."

Ambience and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "We built a good rapport with them over the few days and thoroughly enjoyed their service."
• "Seated near a very loud speaker. Kids constantly screaming filled with parents who fail to really discipline their children."
• "Nice place. Comfy beds, usual stuff in the room."
• "The kids play area is just another added bonus."
• "My son loves the soft play here and we always enjoy the food too."
• "Great location for adults and kids."
• "Child friendly pub. We eat here often. Food is well presented. Never had an issue."
• "A spur of the moment visit to this lovely pub, the staff were welcoming and there was a great atmosphere within the establishment."

Cons:

• "Play area is fine for kids but there's no maximum amount of people and it's incredibly loud behond belief."
• "The absolute worst Christmas Eve experience. We booked a table for four adults and three children at 10am and specifically requested a table in the play area for the three kids."
• "Get yourself over to a proper indoor play centre if it's kids entertainment you want. There really is nothing to see here other than the feeling of a blocked up stomach full of cheap junk food."
• "The place is nicely decorated, we were greeted quickly and found a good table by the window. They didn't have any chicken however."
• "Nice looking place, understaffed so queued for 20 minutes at bar to order. Food was hot but all microwaved and looked it."
• "Upon arrival, myself and my family wanted a carvery lunch and were greeted by who we thought was the manager."
• "Went for breakfast today, the place was so packed you couldn't move, they really should consider reducing the tables."
• "Poor service very poor food although steak was cooked well and was beautiful but Yorkshire pudding was bland and chewy not many chips."
