"The food is really good and reasonably priced."
"The food here was the best I have had."

"All the food was amazing and we felt like we were rolling out of the door."
"The baked cod wrapped in prosciutto was perfectly cooked it came with an additional fishcake which wasn't needed so hubby had it said it was delicious."
"Had scallops with bacon cooked to perfection plus would recommend the courgette rolls as starters."
"The food was absolutely fantastic."
Cons:
"Food tasty except the spinach was not washed (gritty) and the cod loin was overcooked and dry."
"The duck was one piece of over cooked dry steak, the roast potatoes where dry and soft."
"Something has changed here over 6 months, as we went in today and ordered same food we have has before and got total disappointment and completely different fast food deep fryed offerings."
"The food wasn't good for value for money, and the quality was mediocre."
"I had beef bourguignon, it was OK but the broccoli was stone cold, my wife had steak and ale pie and the pot of gravy was just a solid lump."
"The food we did receive was just generic run of the meal pub grub."
"Sunday lunch was awful ! If you've ever had one of those supermarket 'roast beef' ready meals you'll know what to expect !"

"Being ignored, I returned to the restaurant to find my wife had now gone to the girl in the restaurant to ask if she had forgotten us."
"We then waited a very long time for our table to be cleared."
"Terribly slow service. We waited 20 mins for our first round of drinks and the bar wasn't even busy."
"Took 15 mins to serve food to all of party meaning some had finished before others food even arrived."
"Service was awful, not asked if we wanted any additional drinks, we had to track our waitress round the restaurant she didn't once check on us."
"Whilst waiting over 40 minutes to have our food order taken, when there were only a few people in the restaurant."

"The location is a beautiful thatched building with lots of charm."
Cons:

"Its a great pity that there were not many cask ales on sale."
"Do not cater for those with Autism. We asked for a quiet table in the restaurant and they sat us in the bar area which was full of people and so noisy."
"Upon arrival, lots of, ‘dog friendly’ signage, but nothing to advise where one could or could not sit."
"Sadly, it isn't that busy on Saturday or Friday nights, so it can be a bit quiet with only a few people there."
"What really put us off ever wanting to return was the local regular customers."
"The pub is in a lovely location and is nicely decorated."
