Food Quality
Pros:
"Ordered the steak and ale pie, and it was delicious."
"Gammon with both egg and pineapple was perfect."
"The food was wonderful and the service great!"
"The food is excellent, all fresh. Lovely big portions."
"The Sirloin steak with Blue cheese sauce was beautiful."
"Easily the best I’ve had in a very long time."
"The food was as good as you would want in any pub, the portions were substantial."
"The food is excellent. I had the ploughmans and here is what it was; Ham, 3 cheeses, pate, salad, pork pie, home made chips, crackers, butter, crusty bread and various pickles."
Cons:
"Wasn't the best experience. We waited close to an hour for starters, and not one person came to say sorry or give an explanation. Food wasn't amazing and very overpriced."
"The food was ok but tasteless. We had the braising steak with Mash and roasted root vegetables."
"Food was terrible, paid for food within 5 mins food served, not what we asked for and swimming in grease."
"Not been for years and what a difference for the better. I didn't eat as was on a night out."
"Ordered expensive lamb cutlets and there was more fat than meat, staff offered no apology when informed."
"Food was poor quality and very over priced staff couldn't get our order right."
"Thought we would try since it has changed hands we were regular customers beforehand but we were very disappointed we had steak pie and couldn't chew the steak."
"Food way below average. Chips weren't even cooked they were a bit raw."

Cons:
"Service not always great. Lovely young man, very chatty behind the bar but other members of staff seemed very disinterested."
"Could not fault the food and it was well presented. The service however was poor, considering the amount of staff that were about and it wasn't busy they were inattentive."
"Waited ages to order and then no one came with bill, we went to bar to pay which caused problems for the lady behind."
"Waited 50 minutes for a cheese and Tomato pizza and a roast..complained 3 times with no apology just the same reply of “the foods being plated up”."
"First time we have been since it has been under new management and I must say what an improvement. The new menus are very good, affordable and the food was all fresh. The staff are very attentive and friendly :)"
"Very nice food, although the person who served me had the attention span of Dory."
"Visited this brilliant pub tonight.....even took our little dog Fudge inside who was welcomed by Janet and Tony....food was hot and tasty."
"I had to get up twice to get table service last time I was there and waitress was rude to my guest that had travelled up from stoke."
Ambiance and Facilities
Pros:
"Love the atmosphere in this lovely pub."
"Amazing beer garden and truly one of a kind! Individual little hut-like cubicles with their own TV, charging point and heaters!"
"Outside space is perfect at the front and back of the building."
"We sat outside in wooden huts, which sounds like it's going to be cold but thanks to the 2000W heaters, it was like sitting on a sunny beach in the summer."
"Inside looks like a traditional type pub."
"Love the outside area with heaters & tv’s."
"The pub itself is absolutely fantastic. There is a front area next to the carpark that has benches, but the star attraction is the beer garden at the back."
"Character oozes from every corner of this historic pub, with its panelled walls, nooks and crannies, beams and fireplaces."
Cons:
"Car parking spaces at the back are very tight together and not much room at all for reversing."
"Parking is quite tight due to the pub being so popular."
"Would have been 5 but parking was shocking."
"Car park was full so presumed it was busy, walked in and about 10 people there, was met by a barmaid who wasn't very friendly."
"Didn't actually go inside as sat outside while my friend went in for drinks. It was very busy and has undergone improvements."
"Would of stopped here to eat but the disabled parking was obstructed with chairs and tables the restaurant had placed outside."
"Food was nice enough but the place seemed crowded with tables arranged in an haphazard way."
"Didn't even go inside as sat outside while my friend went in for drinks. It was very busy and has undergone improvements."
