Cons:

"However the pub was very cold and the waiting staff very inattentive and we sat for long periods waiting to be seen to."

"Had to wait a VERY long time to order food, to be served drinks and to receive food."

Price
Pros:

"Food overpriced for what it was."
"Slightly overpriced for what you get but generally OK."
"Then told the only low calorie meal on the menu wasn't available - as they had no 'grains', and were unable to bulk the meal up with extra salad for me as they only served 'set' meals and couldn't adapt it for me."
"We waited 40 to 45 mins for our meals which I assume was due to how busy they were but no apology or recognition of the long wait was given by the servers."
"Average roast, good service and slightly overpriced for what you get but generally OK."

Cons:
"The children's meals were served on very hot plates not really suitable to be given to a child (my youngest is 23 month)."

"My partner ordered the special pork belly roast- there were no crackling or apple sauce served with it."
"We waited an hour and half for food because they admitted they wanted to serve the smaller tables before us."
