"Rude guy behind bar that was possibly the owner, poor service."
"The young girl that originally served us had little to NO training."
"No staff around to complain too."
"Despite standing at the bar, it still took a while before our drinks and finally food orders were taken."
Pies
Pros:
"Wow love the pies. Struggled to eat a large. Doesn't look big but is packed full."
"The pies that they specialise in are wonderful, with fluffy light melt in your mouth pastry, very special."
"The pies are well filled and good portion size."
"Probably the best pies in the world."
"The pies are the reason everyone goes there, two filling in one."
"The shortcrust pastry topping just melts away."
"The most mouthwatering shortcrust pastry on top of a pie that is chock full of meat with just enough gravy to finish the flavour and ensure plenty of moisture."
Cons:
"Whilst the pies were nice, those with steak and Stilton were v disappointed as the meat was very fatty and it was mainly Stilton."
"Frozen french fry chips with some burnt and the pies were horrid microwaved precooked old rubbish."
"The pies were outstanding but single portions of veg and chips at £3.50 each rather expensive for a pub."
"Very disappointed with the menu as most things offer some sort of cheese in the meals."
"Ordered the beef and mushroom and cauliflower cheese pie, but it only had 3 bits of beef in and was really just a big bowl of cauliflower."
"The thing is they don't actually sell pies at all! A dish of filling with a pastry lid on it is not a pie!"
"The food itself wasn’t great it was quite bland but looked amazing."
Atmosphere & Venue
Pros:
"A great venue, small, which means you must book to avoid disappointment."
"Sat next to an open fire, we couldn't ask for a better place to tuck into our exceptional pies."
"A pretty pub in a beautiful location, very cosy atmosphere."
"Lovely and cosy 'olde' style pub, with loads of character in a great setting."
"Nice, old pub atmosphere and small but sunny garden out the back."
"Great pub with a great atmosphere."
"A lovely traditional pub with pies that have a good reputation locally."
Cons:
"Horrid wobbly table next to entrance door."
"The biggest issue was how cold it was! The upstairs seemed to have no heating and we felt freezing the whole time."
"For future reference, I suggest they firstly make it clear eating out the front is NOT aloud."
"We were seated upstairs as we had a child it was very cold and draughty."
"The food was superb but unfortunately the cleanliness was not....table was covered in salt and something sticky, cobwebs everywhere and the toilets were terrible."
"Nice view but food was overcooked chips and onion rings very well done and not really edible."
