"The service was a bit slow but they was only two staff working."

"None of the servers came to check how we were doing or if there was anything they could help with."
"There was no one to greet us or show us to our (booked) table."
"I am sorry to say that the service was unacceptable, it was lunch time and hardly anybody in there and we still had to wait for over 30 minutes from the time our order was taken."

Cons:
"The vegetables weren’t hot."
"Portions were very small and we were only given 1 portion of veg between 4!"
"Overpriced and not great food I had the piri chicken skewers and although the chicken was cooked perfectly there was no flavour at all definitely no piri piri."
"The steak wasn’t a very nice cut, it was stringy with fat that made it chewy."
"Unfortunately the tagine lacked of flavour, was very dry and had different ingredients than in the menu."
"Children’s pizza was definitely from a freezer and the vegetables in the roast were overcooked."
"Both the beef and chicken were dry and the rest of the food a little lacklustre and not piping hot as you would expect."
Value & Pricing

"Good wine and beer at very reasonable prices."
Cons:
"We asked for a chicken breast for our dogs and they tried charging £12.95 which we didn't pay."
"The starter of scallops, only 3 of them were tiny as were the black pudding, not worth £8.00!"
"Not worth £8.00!"
"Went today for Birthday meal.....came away hungry.. 2 courses anywhere else and I'm always 'stuffed'... starter was tasty and ok but 'main' course was 4 mushrooms with cheese and spoonfull of spinach- a few chips and maybe a lettuce leaf would have filled the plate."
"The only downside was that although we ordered vegetarian roasts with the waitress, perhaps the kitchen assumed we were vegan and didn't give us any yorkshire puddings."
"The pastry was ok but had hardly any meat in it at all."
"Food was disappointing the menu my group was handed was different from what was listed on the website."

Cons:
"Too many dogs though for our liking."
"Outside marquee lacks any atmosphere although there was live music on Sunday afternoon from a brilliant old rocker doing classic covers."
"The pub was very busy and noisy with no windows open, where we were sitting anyway."
"I know masks are no longer mandatory for staff but personally felt uncomfortable staff weren't wearing them to take orders or serve meals."
"No playground that I saw."
"The only disadvantage with it being so popular is the tiny car park."
"Staff told us our children couldn't eat their snacks as the kitchen was open, and neither could a member of our party who was breast feeding."
