Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was affordable and tasty."
  • "Huge portions of excellent game pie, suet steak and kidney pie with full flavoured veg."
  • "Food was amazing - really tasty and huge portions."
  • "The food is really nice. We had 'Nog and Yorkie', a small paddling pool size Yorkshire pudding full of a beef stewed in a wonderful gravy made with one of their drinks plus mash potatoes and veg. Mouthwatering!!"
  • "The Steak and Kidney suet puddings and Ale & Yorkie were delicious!! One of the nicest pub meals I've had."
  • "Food was outstanding, so tasty, fresh & good size portions nicely presented."
  • "Absolutely superb lunch, with no skimping on the portion sizes!"

Cons:

  • "The Crayfish and Prawn salad looked lovely but the much feted sauce was thin and pretty tasteless."
  • "Cheap ingredients in both our meals - gravy made from granules?! Yuk."
  • "Very disappointing the food was average at best."
  • "These burgers tasted nothing special. No different to your typical supermarket burgers-- not even the 'specially selected' ones."
  • "The Haddock was tasteless! Chips were very firm!"
  • "The steak was nice, slightly over priced, but the chips terrible."
  • "Food terrible. Meat pie with three pieces of meat in for £14.50."

  • "Attentive service and lovely food served quickly."
  • "Service was great as was the choice of refreshments."

Cons:

  • "No-one came to ask if the meal was ok or came after we had finished."
  • "Unfortunately though the service was incredibly slow even while it wasn't busy, felt like the staff were forgetting about us."
  • "They didn't even bother to ask if everything was ok so no tip for them."
  • "Unfortunately the toilets were disgusting - mouldy walls, broken locks and they don't look like they've been cleaned for a long time."
  • "The waitress never checked back during our meal despite us occupying the only table inside."
  • "We waited over 40 minutes for food to arrive, then when it did arrive the food was cold, vegetables were hard and undercooked and tiny portions compared to other visits here."
  • "The service behind the bar was something to be desired too, wasn't professional, wasn't homely or welcoming."

Ambiance & Location

Pros:

  • "Very cosy on a cold winter afternoon."
  • "The building was pleasing both inside and out."
  • "Huge garden out the front with picnic benches in the sun."
  • "The beer garden was a lovely place to site and enjoy the beautiful weather and the great beer and cider."
  • "Pleasant grassed area at the front with trees and a pond and tables, surrounded by fields, and facing west for lovely skies when the sun goes down."
  • "Lovely location, picturesque garden with it's own brewery!"
  • "Lovely pretty pub next to the Woodforde's brewery."

Cons:

  • "Rubbish this is NOT a gastropub... lack of menu choices, high prices for food and drink and little of it poor service and no atmosphere."
  • "The menu isn't as interesting as it used to be."
  • "Unfortunately although the staff were very friendly the service was a bit slow."
  • "We would have sat outside but the covered seating area with heaters had been removed which is a shame as it gives you another option on cooler evenings."
  • "You cant really blame the pub for not having atmosphere on a cold and wet November night but we were the only people in a large restaurant."
  • "This pub was so individual, but all it has now is extremely good beers."
  • "The couple of young service members we spoke too were lovely, however the atmosphere felt quite awkward."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The food was affordable and tasty."
  • "Great prices though and good quantity and decent quality food."
  • "It was definitely very good value for money, would certainly go back to this place again."

Cons:

  • "£13.95 for a pie and chips meal."
  • "Gherkin and burger sauce missed from our burgers which was disappointing."
  • "IMHO, there other places, which offer much better value for money."
  • "For example we paid £6.50 for 3 slices of cold bread with some oil and tasteless hummus!"
  • "Our bill was higher than expected because we we're charged £6.50 for each glass of wine so watch out for that."
  • "At these food prices I do expect better as it is not cheap."
  • "The main courses were all very bland and overpriced for what we paid."
