  • "We had the beef pie and the fish and chips and both were absolutely delicious."
  • "Beautiful food, local real ales."
  • "The starters were beautifully present, and flavours well balanced, roasts were generously portioned, with high quality ingredients and perfectly cooked veg!!"

Cons:

  • "The gravy cooled it became ‘jellyfied ‘ and started to solidify on our plates."
  • "The bun was burnt and the burger had a lot of gristle in it."
  • "The carrots had a very strange taste, the green beans were under cooked as were the parsnips."

  • "Limited menu. Roast chicken didn't have any chicken breast, potatoes not crispy enough and gravy a bit bland for my taste."
  • "Food...absolutely disgusting. My partner and I both went for the battered cod and chips. Came out and looked fantastic, partner got halfway into his and the middle was completely raw batter!"
  • "Food over cooked quantity over quality never works."

Service

Pros:

Cons:

  • "Service not very good at all today, slow and we had to go to the bar twice to ask for things which the waitress forgot to bring."
  • "Would have given 5 stars but we had to wait an hour between starters and main course. Not ideal with three kids..."
  • "We mentioned that we didn’t enjoy the meal and we thought that we had been forgotten. The waitress apologised and told us that they were understaffed as one of the staff hadn’t turned up; no concession was offered!"
  • "We asked for a wine list which was promptly delivered although no follow up for us to order, we had to call the waitress to order the wine."
