   Our table was ready when we arrived in the dog friendly bar area. We were served quickly and the food was not as hot as we would of like. The item I ordered although on the specials board was unavailable. The pub did have quite a noisy group of people at one end of the bar but it was a celebration so you expect it in a group. Our first experience was good and we would definitely go back

   Good food but extremely slow service. Manager said it was because the roasts take a lot of time to plate up… we asked if they had a lot of walk ins but they said all bookings, so they knew what to expect. staff were complaining there were not enough staff rostered on. Feels like they were being greedy with too many covers and not enough staff. Table booked for 2pm and meals not served until 3.30pm…

   Friendly staff. I will give you some facts and leave you to make your mind up. Had to return wine glasses as dirty. Had to ask for wine cooler. Offered to take drinks order, no wine list, just offered two white wines with no price known. We're advised food wait was 30 minutes - good idea. When came to take food order were told that no main meal specials were available - fortunately we had back up choice. A while later we were asked if it was OK to bring out starter (one for sharing) could come out with main meals. We accepted. Meals - gammon, eggs, chips etc - good plate of food, well cooked and tasty. Steak and ale pie, made and peas - pie good, peas v small portion, mash only hot in part nearest centre of plate (obviously microwaved) Fish, chips and peas - chips and peas fine. Fish should have never left the kitchen - totally overcooked. Very brown batter, limited fish when you could extract it from batter and consequently dry - price was deducted from bill. Will continue to use as a pub but not to eat.

   The staff, two young ladies, were extremely busy but still took time to make sure everyone was happy. The food was delicious and hot. We will definitely be returning soon.

   Was very disappointed with the food My steak ale pie with mash was tasty but poorly presented on the plate. The mash looked like it had been microwaved and tipped straight onto the plate, you could see the carton shape. The other meal was in a very small fish dish and wasn't big enough for the actual meal and was difficult to cut. (loaded fries).

    Had the Sunday roasts. Really good food and decent portions. Brought extra gravy at the start so didn’t have to ask. Will definitely be back
