Ambience & Atmosphere
Pros:
"Nice pub with lovely garden."
"The beer garden can also be used in winter, large areas are covered and there are heated booths."
"The atmosphere was lovely. A cosy feel with the Roaring fire."
"Lovely pub with plenty of traditional atmosphere. The outside area is beautifully done."
"The outside space has a young, hip vibe."
"A beautiful Inn...the garden area is stunning and we loved that the top area was a no smoking area."
"Lovely arty space with a big fruity garden, lots of covered seated areas for eating out and drinking."
Cons:
"Parking is a bit of a nightmare though."
"Only problem is there is no car park so you have to find a parking space on road."
"We left at 9.40pm the neighbour opposite was stood in front of her driveway shhhhing everyone as they got to the bottom of the steps!!"
"Food was very nice but the NOISE from drunks at 8.30pm... it was unbearable."
"Hence parking would have to be on the nearby residential streets if you don't walk there."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was very tasty and served piping hot."
"Food was outstanding fresh and great value for money."
"Probably the best pub food we've ever had!"
"The best seafood linguine I’ve ever had."
"The food was cooked to perfection, extremely generous portions, reasonably priced and tasted fantastic!!"
"The food was just so good! We had the chowder, the pork belly and the child's sausage."
"The food was all clearly done fresh and all the staff were very quick and efficient."
Cons:
"It is over priced considering the quality of the food on offer."
"On our most recent visit the prices seem to have sky rocketed and the quality plummeted."
"Food was very expensive for what it was, particularly as there’s no table service and the wine options are poor."
"The food was greasy and somehow at the same time quite dry and overcooked."
"Our food wasn’t that great to be honest. Sea bass on the specials menu was well over cooked and the ribs weren’t great either."
"The pulled pork nachos were tasteless and bland."
"Mine was not worth the money, i ordered a ploughmans lunch, but it was very basic and not very nice."
Service

"Staff are polite, helpful and well turned out."
"The staff couldn't have been more welcoming."
"Great quick service, lovely friendly staff."
"The staff were so lovely, warm and welcoming, and we felt very attended to before we had even sat down."
"Absolutely superb service, the staff were so friendly, polite, and helpful."
Cons:
"The staff were very slow, and inattentive, we felt very rushed."
"Didn't bother to order desserts, as the waitresses who had been very pleasant beforehand were loudly moaning about us in the hallway outside."
"When we complained about the food the staff did not deal with it in a good way."
"We got forgotten simple! Waited an absolute age for or food to turn even watched a table who's order was taken after ours get served (theirs was wrong)."
"The guy that was behind the bar and showed us to our table wasn't the friendliest."
"Poor service, phoned to book a table to be told there not taking reservations and just turn up."
"Really poor customer service skills. The managers attitude has ruined our holiday."
