"Sadly not so good drinks very expensive 1 j20 1small wine with a splash of lemonade £10:70p.. Food just okish roast beef tough swimming in gravy pork tough new pots and seemed like tin of chopped tin tomato's poured of top!!!"
"Chicken burger a little dry but other that that a very good visit."
"Bit too much fatty bacon on the scallops which took over the flavour and not much crab in the crab and prawn salad but still edible."
"Unfortunately there was only one vegetarian option on the mains menu (risotto)."
"As the only vegetarian in our party I had no choice at all for my main course which was overpoweringly strong and I was eating it because I had to have something."

Cons:

"Overall while the staff were friendly, the service was incredibly slow with us having to ask for drinks, to order, chase our food, ask for more drinks, ask to pay."
"tonight gave up waiting to have a desert order taken, that we just asked for the bill."
"Booked a table for 7 for mothers day for my lovely mum well in advance. Shown to our table and waited 40 minutes until my sister in law went to the bar to see what the hold up was as to why our order hadn't been taken."

"The location of the pub is also gorgeous in a lovely village with ample outside seating and a small stream running through."
Cons:
"Now quiz night is a fun night and it's the same beer as every other night but the focus is on the quiz and so the ambiance of the place is secondary."
