"The menu boasts a variety of classic pub grub, from hearty burgers to flavourful fish and chips."
"Sunday roast is probably the high point of the menu."
"The food is delicious and reasonably priced."
"We ordered scotch egg and whitebait for starters... mains were a full rack of ribs and a pie (both good portions and very tasty)."
"The food was amazing, had 3 courses, and each one had great quality and good portions - generous portions."
"Great surroundings and manages to have a genuine old style/ new feel. Food was nice, but nothing special and prices are a bit on the high side for the quality of food."
Cons:
"However, it was let down by the food- I had the burger with fries and chicken strips, and it was the driest burger I have ever had."
"Expensive, overpriced, ham egg and chips rather uninspired for the price."
"Food menus do not cater for celiacs which is a necessity not a choice like vegan."
"For the price of it, I was very disappointed. My burger was bland no flavour and my chips were covered in salt."
"Had a okay meal here the other week but also sprained my ankle onsite due to a grown over hole in the grassy area of the car park."
"Food was of a very good standard pie on the early bird menu is a little on the small side so make sure ya order a side which thankfully I did."
"The vegan food here is amazing! I attended here on an evening working meal and myself and my colleagues really enjoyed the food."
"Not bad to be honest, was quite quiet during my visit. Food was of good quality as was the beer."

"We only visited this pub because we were in the area but I wish it was my local!"
"A really friendly place, we are always warmly welcomed and the service is exceptional."
"Modern Hall & Woodhouse pub/restaurant on the edge of Cranbrook. Quite airy inside - the restaurant area has vaulted ceilings that extend into the roof space. Food was fine when it arrived but although the restaurant was far from full, service was very sluggish."
Cons:
"Expensive, over priced, ham egg and chips rather uninspired for the price."

"2 meals and 2 drinks for £42! I had high expectations given the price paid."
"Now quite expensive 1 beer and 1 double gin and tonic almost 16 pounds."
"30 mins for starters another 1.5hrs for mains because apparently that's how long it takes to cook a chicken breast (so we were told)."
"For a brand new pub the style is impressive. Real wood beams, rustic furniture and a cosy feel. Staff are always friendly and polite, whether it’s for a quick drink after a sports club or for a proper meal."
"First class roast beef together with smiling, helpful staff made this such an enjoyable step post lockdown."
"Booked a evening meal as we got told it was good so turn up hardly anyone in their took over 5 minutes to be seen by a staff member."
