I came here with my 17month old son. What a welcoming, clean and friendly environment. Clearly a close knit community which was lovely to see! Staff were warm and welcoming but Caitlin went above and beyond to rectify any issues raised (more than satisfied). I overheard what must have been the owner, say its taken 8months to get the food like this...all you're hard work has paid off. You all do amazing. Thank you for the service provided for me and my son today :)

Service was really slow, food was ok, no carvery except on a Sunday. Won't be returning any time soon.

Came here for a birthday meal and I'm not gonna lie the wait is just not worth it in the slightest. We came around 7:30 on a quiet Monday with maybe three tables worth of guests and only got the starters around 40 minutes later. The starters were fine, could be warmer if I'm honest.
As I write this, an hour after arriving, I'm still waiting on mains. I feel like the staff is currently a skeleton crew in that kitchen and there are only two servers (one of whom was shaking when serving for sure).
The table to twelve have had... Maybe their starter and a single main currently.
I'm sorry but the food quality doesn't make up for the wait. No food is worth an hours wait in my opinion. Especially when that food is a buther.
And now that mains have arrived just whilst writing this review, nearly an hour after we ordered them I'll let you know how they were. Fine, they were just fine. The chicken pie was cold enough to stick your entire finger into it without issue. The katsu burger was bland as anything, the tikka masala was apparently nice.
I don't dare wait to see if desserts will take an extra hour.

Friendly staff, greeted with a smile. Brought drinks to the table which was appreciated. Chose the carvery, as usual. A little disappointed with the veg on offer but that's a personal choice.
Nice atmosphere as it was quiet. Will definitely return.

Went for a carvery & it was by far the nicest we’ve had. Everything was cooked well 👌🏻 . Cauliflower cheese & cheesy leeks were a 10 10. Lovely staff, couldn’t do enough for us. Be back soon 👍

Appalling service, food took over 45 minutes to come. One employee, a young lad, was given a telling off in front of the customers and told that he can come back in in his own time and not be paid for it. The land lady was vaping behind the bar and continued to do so with putting her vape in her bra. It felt more like a youth club

Visited today. Ordered at the bar, waited one hour and fifteen minutes for food, and was not told there would be a wait. Food arrived, and we requested starters and main courses at the same time when ordering they arrived separately. Food awful, scampi cold, baked potato (yes only a baked potato) microwaved with a few beans. Did complain but was told to send an email to head office. Other couples waited an hour and a half for food.

I don’t leave reviews as a rule especially bad ones however our experience today was not a pleasant one. We waited for 1 hr 30 mins to have a loaded fries to share. It was quiet in there and when I asked how much longer it would be she said that they were massively busy. People were complaining and asking for a refund because they needed to go and had waited so long for their food. At no point were we told that there was a wait on meals or received an apology.
In reading previous reviews this appears to be common theme and unfortunately we will not be returning.

Good food and service and they even do blue light discount. The only thing is it would he better if you could upgrade your chips to loaded chips instead of having to order loaded chips as a side dish.

I don't like giving mediocre reviews but......
It may have just been a bad day....
Food was average, nothing to write home about. It is though, a chain pub, so didn't expect gourmet food.
One of our party had the carvery.... Overcooked veg although more meat than Toby. The other two ordered from the menu. It wasn't full by any shot yet our food took an absolute age to arrive. Not just ours but the table next to us as well.
Went to order pudding and one of our party, with a nut allergy, was refused her choice. The chef wouldn't serve it because it "may" contain nuts yet they were not mentioned in the ingredients. The Chef didn't want to take the risk..... Interesting how the customer, who knows their allergy and had eaten in another pub in the same chain, had eaten the desert before but the chef wouldn't take the risk.....

Kids area was filthy
Ordered online. Waited 25 mins then they told me there was a 50 min wait for food and I had a little one. Refunded me whilst chatting away to friends around the bar area.

I order a burger and chips I ask for chips because I don't like the fries, I saw the woman add the chip, i also order double chips,
They brought me out Fries, so I told the woman about it, she then print of a receipt that said fries on it but not the rest of the order to show me i order fries,
then said she would ask who served me and would ask them, instead she want back to flirting with the people at the bar.
I don't know what happened to the place but there new staff are terrible.
Miss there old staff, use to be a lovely guy on the till, never had any problems with him

Friendly but relaxed atmosphere, all staff are courteous and speedy service. They offer order at table service giving you full access to the menu from a qr code. Food arrived hot and with a smile

Disappointed that all fried fish was unavailable due to a broken fryer 😢 But otherwise our meals were fine. The time it took at the bar to order food and drink, was a little long, and meals were slow to arrive. Tried the app for a second drinks order, but that also took around 15 mins to arrive. No complaints with the meals and drinks we chose, all were nice, once they did arrive. Staff were pleasant and polite, it just seemed there weren't enough, even though the pub did not seem overly busy.
Overall a nice meal but the service could have been a little faster

Pub is a lot cleaner. Bit of a long wait for food despite not many in, was told only one chef on when asked about the delay. I had chicken tekka and although nice and tasty the chicken was a bit tough. Plates were lovely and hot as well. Not bad though and will go back
