Food Quality
Pros:
"The fish pie was fantastic, full of flavour, I would recommend for certain."
"Delicious meal, served with gusto."
"The food here is cooked to order from fresh."
"The food was excellent and great effort was made to make a great outdoor space to sit and eat."
"The fish and chips was the best I’ve eaten, very fresh and proper, crispy batter."
"If you like seafood, I'd recommend the whitebait starter and fish pie main but all the other food we ordered was equally delicious."
"The food was really good - especially the fish and chips."
Cons:
"The food however was terrible! Ordered some vegan nachos which were just cold chips with bbq sauce mixed with jackfruit on top for £11, garlic bread was straight out of the freezer."
"Both husbands had the £25.00 steak meals which we was both very dissatisfied with they was like going to Iceland and buying the £5.00 for two steak deals which was small and thin and no taste."
"Once the food arrived we were very disappointed with the quality of it, especially as it is stated on the menu that the food is freshly made on sight in the kitchen."
"The Chicken Madras was more like a chicken stew with a splash of curry powder."
"The burger and bun was cheap rubbish and the only trace of blue cheese was a small dash of blue on the bun but no taste of it anywhere."
"Our fish and chips lunch was incredibly greasy. Not enjoyable really and disappointing."
"The fish pie was miserable, no flavour unless you like cabbage."

Cons:
"Called this morning to check the timing for food service, was advised 12pm to 8pm. Arrived at the bar at 2.45 waited patiently for 20 mins only to be told that the kitchen has been closed, no food until 5pm."
"Getting served was difficult as the restaurant bar was closed (despite restaurant being nearly full), with one person serving in the main bar."
"I totally agree with the previous review we waited 2 hours and were told by the waitress it will arrive when it arrives, the waiter just shrugged his shoulders, by far the worst service I have ever had."
"We felt incredibly rushed by a lady trying to clear the table while people were still eating."
"Bar staff very blunt, lager shandy was certainly not 50/50 as full of lemonade."
"Very poor, service dreadful, waited over 1hr and 40mins still no food."
"Service very slow and after asking 2 people for something, which still never arrived."
Atmosphere & Location

"Cosy pub and guesthouse."
"Great village pub with a fantastic range of drinks and extensive food menu."
Cons:
"The car park has some awkward spaces due to the shape but nothing that was an issue."
"As the only pub in the village, it has gone down hill. Dirty, expensive, food was gross. New extension is completely out of character."
"Sat in what seemed to be a newly refurbished part of the building..rather characterless."
"Rude, horrible, disgusting place will never be returning."
"Now it's clearly a place to pull in tourists and make a quick buck with a shiny and echoing cafe style extension."
"The back built on restaurant section looks and has the atmosphere of a school cafeteria."
"Firstly, the smell of dog hit us."

"A bit pricey, it was a tenner just for the salad bar."
