Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The venue is good whether with younger family members or friends."

  • "We enjoyed the welcoming interior and appreciated the friendly staff."
  • "The atmosphere was relaxed."
  • "The pub has a nice atmosphere and is family and dog friendly."

Cons:

  • "It’s a shame this once local pub changed to a ‘gastro pub’ as the friendly family feel has been replaced by a more formal, stiff atmosphere."
  • "Shame they’ve changed the pub from a vibrant local pub(The grange inn )to a upmarket restaurant… just doesn’t feel the same."
  • "Now you get terrible food, soulless/lifeless atmosphere and moody bar staff."
  • "Very little atmosphere, almost feels forced…"
  • "It didn’t leave me with a memorable food experience or an atmospheric reminder from my visit."
  • "The place would be great if it weren't for the parents who allow their kids to run riot."
  • "The new management are trying to attract a more higher spending clientele by offering 'start with a G&T' at £8.00 each and inflated food prices."

Value

Pros:

  • "£8 for a g&t? Harvester offer the same drink (same branded gin and tonic) for £3/£3.5 cheaper."
  • "It was £70 for 4 of us (no alcohol and no starters) but so worth it!"
  • "Cheap and cheerful pub food very good value."
  • "Food was delicious ( I had the kebab.), and the 30% of mains helped with the cost of the evening."
  • "Just wish the prices was not so high but its worth a treat now and then."
  • "The food menu looked horrendous, again same issue over priced pub food."
  • "Great atmosphere and inclusive for all ages."

Cons:

  • "Would not recommend, very small portions, they forgot my dessert, no apology."
  • "The 2 for £12 was misleading. Extremely small print on the offer that even the server didn't realise so you end up just paying the normal price instead of the actual deal."
  • "In my opinion the food was also very overpriced for local pub food."
  • "Paying nearly £15 for a simple pub menu item."
  • "The chicken on the salads was dry for £4 extra each!"
  • "Wasn't asked if there was a special occasion etc, was told they are booked."
  • "Several options were off the menu when we were there and for a comparatively small menu that’s a lot."
