"Lovely oldy worldly bar and inside restaurant area."
"The aroma of food greeted you and a lovely warm fire."
"This is a lovely old pub and restaurant, with real wood fires tastefully decorated with cheery lights and a lovely Christmas tree which enhanced the overall ambiance."
"The atmosphere was lovely and the prices were reasonable."
"The atmosphere was very cosy and relaxed, exactly what you want on a cold winters night."
"A very pleasant atmosphere and service."
"The Christmas decorations throughout were beautiful and the atmosphere was warm and cosy."
Cons:
"Premise needs urgent attention, the draft through the rotten window frame was unwelcome and the £5 heater was an undesirable way to replace the log burner."
"The restaurant was chilly, almost uncomfortable."
"We were also sat in a section with a large group which was very weird, we essentially became part of their celebration with kids running around our table."
"Despite the beautiful building & the lovely interior, the when place gave off the feeling of a Harvester."
"The only downside was a live act that started playing halfway way through our meal, this was too loud and prevented any further conversation."
"The untasty sandwich and fly-away umbrella were unfortunate and wouldn't stop me returning to this lovely old pub. I would suggest filling the weights on the umbrella stands though..."
"Overpriced low quality pub food and drinks. No value for money at all."

"Our waitress was very helpful and sweet and gave swift service."
"Service and food was really good."
"Service was polite, friendly and helpful, nothing was rushed and the atmosphere was great."

Cons:
"Sadly we won’t be coming here again… it is very poor service & you don’t get much food on your Main-section—- it is very little of choice…"
"The service wasn’t at all attentive despite there only being 4 tables eating."
"Service was extremely slow."
"Service was slow, impersonal, unprofessional and just generally poor."
"Waitress was very rude. Was in a hurry to usher us out, checking regularly if we had finished our food, which took over an hour to come!"
"The service charge was hidden as ‘20% VAT’."
"Service was very slow, you took an age to bring my brothers spicy pepperoni pizza, there was no apology for its lateness."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Kids menu desserts are only £1.00 and you get 2 scoops of ice cream a cone and chocolate sauce."

Cons:
"The calamari under seasoned."
"The food itself was not great. Potatoes looked aneamic, very little gravy and meat, but the carrots were disgusting."
"All 6 of our party were served with not very warm main courses."
"The food has very high prices similar to fine dining prices for similar quality food that Wetherspoons serve for a third of the price."
"The food wasn't entirely fresh; the chicken was quite dry and the chips were rock solid."
"The 'healthy salad' option that one of our party had was nothing more than some lentils and a few salad leaves....for £13.50! Robbery."
"The food was overcooked and overpriced."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Reasonable prices and very filling."
"The value for money too is great, highly recommend!"
"Had the set lunch menu 2 courses for £11.50 both were presented very nicely and tasted great."

"Prices were decent, not too expensive."
"Definitely worth a visit."
Cons:
"It was a little expensive."
"Very expensive for what it is."
"Expensive for what we had didn't mind paying for warm decent food but felt this is not what we had."
"Was very expensive, ordered a starter of crispy calamari at almost £8 and what arrived on the plate looked like what was left in the bottom of the fryer! Not crispy at all."
"Food and drinks can be pricey."
"Drinks were way more expensive than on previous visits( probably to pay for the paint job)."
