"Absolutely disgusting service The food was diabolical, the actual pub is dirty."
"The large upgrade, and normal-sized scampi meals were the same size portions, and equally as bland."
"Had lunch today. There was ants in the salt pot and also when my daughter put sauce in her meal there were ants in that."
"I ordered the sizzling chicken on a bed of sizzling veg, but was disappointed to find there was no sizzle, the veg was burnt and the small chicken fillet was over spiced."
"Waited to be seated whilst cleaned table, nachos were soggy and cheese was like dairylea cheese."

"A drab stain on Milton Keynes, it's not a sports bar, it's not a restaurant."
"We stopped in after taking the dog for a walk. As we had him we sat at one of the garden tables. I have to say the service was outstanding."
