Carvery

• "Lovely place to dine in. Great carvery choices and good portions."

• "Nice location, huge car park and we'll laid out access for all. Nicely prepared veg and plenty to choose from, complimented by great choice of meats and gravy, a very nice carvery."
• "Meat was fresh, they had a choice of gammon, turkey and beef. Vegetables were cooked perfectly and plenty of choice."

Cons:

• "The carvery was a total state."
• "The carvery was indifferent, the meat was all undercooked."
• "Food at the carvery was poor. Carrots were so hard that my 11 month old struggled to eat them."
• "We opted for the carvery, but it was a mistake - mostly all dried up, I'm afraid."
• "The carvery side was absolutely appalling due to only one person having to do everything, items empty etc."

Service

Pros:

• "Friendly staff, prompt service and piping hot food - such a positive turnaround."
• "There was one very helpful guy named Mark with a long dark brown hair in a pony tail, beard and tidy looking, who not only went above and beyond with us but with everyone."

• "Service and staff were great. Super friendly and attentive."
• "The service is always friendly and the food I’ve never had any issues nor left feeling unsatisfied and certainly never hungry."
• "The chefs are always very friendly and polite."

Cons:

• "The whole pub was severely understaffed for a busy bank holiday and staff were friendly but rushed off their feet."
• "However, 2 other members of staff were quite rude. Clearly not happy in their jobs."
• "The older male server at the bar should simply not be front of house. Grumpy and frankly quite rude."
• "We asked for the table to be cleaned but it just wasn't and we were left to wipe it down ourselves."
• "Ignored for a while at the Wait to be seated sign, to be taken to a table that wasn't wiped with old cutlery on, despite it not being busy."
• "The only thing that's less positive is the fact that there is a 'wait here to be seated' sign at the entrance, while it seemed to me the servers were surprised to see me there waiting for someone to turn up."
• "The woman serving the carvery meats had a real attitude problem."
