"The quality of the meals poor, flavour less. Very bland, and lacked the presentation wow factor."
"Came for Sunday lunch for my elderly grandmothers birthday, nobody could chew the beef it was that fatty."

"Really cosy old fashioned pub with a great menu."
Cons:
"To then have the owner come out raised voice saying I’d called his steak rubbish and that why didn’t I inform someone."
"Customer at the bar thought nothing of using the f word, and other unpleasant language, when talking to his companion."
"It was good atmosphere until there was an influx of people coming for an xmas do and the level of noise was unbearable for about a couple of hrs."
"After a workman's day is finished, this place gets filled with young lads who occupy the very small bar area talking to the barmaids, they are loud and very intimidating."
"At one point the music volume was turned right up, making conversation difficult."
"The mens toilet however is indescribable, its horrific, unpleasant and is in serious need of sanitisation."
"We sat with empty plates for half an hour waiting for the table to be cleared and order our deserts which meant we weren't out in time."

"We had to wait 25 mins for them to print the menus."
