Tables can be very close together and being a family pub, with play area, it was noisy. Service was very average and needed frequent summoning which was an irritation for one member of the staff but most were willing and smiling The exterior gave the impression of a lovely country pub, which was misleading. Menu was extensive with nothing exceptional plus three specials located on a small chalkboard on the bar but not offered by the waitress.

very dissapointing experience, we were sat with empty plates and drinks for over half an hour after our meal with 4 people in the restaurant including us, let down a very nice meal would be hesitant to return as i can imagine the service would be even worse at a busier period of time, as we had to ask for our plates to be taken away, now having to go elsewhere for desert because of the poor service

Atmosphere was alright but the food weren’t what I was expecting. Had better at home. There isn’t a single chicken Caesar salad I’ve seen that has ONIONS, TOMATOES AND WHOLE EGGS ON IT! What’s that about? Service from children wasn’t that great either, they need better training.

Visited for lunch today. Delicious food, friendly and attentive service in a pleasant environment. Very good, varied choice on the menu. We had scampi and fish pie, chips and peas, both meals were piping hot and very tasty. Caramel apple pie and custard was amazing. Thank you, we will return.

A long established place that has nothing to prove, however the bad bright lights and decor are in need of updating.

WOW and not in a good way. The food we had was so standard and cheap. I can't believe they charge the prices they do. We were looking forward to a nice country pub style lunch, I ordered the faggots and mushy peas for £10.45 and my friend the slow cooked belly for £19.90 and opted to have it as a roast. It was awful, the faggots seemed to be Mr Brains, the mash out of a packet and the mushy peas out of a tin, this meal is easily a £3 meal. The pork wasn't pork belly more like a slab of pork covered in an overwhelming taste of rosemary, yet the rest of the food was very bland, the potatos not very nice at all the stuffing uncooked. We were asked quite early into our meal if everything was ok. At this point, we had not tasted everything on the plate, so we hesitantly said yes. As my friend continued to taste the food, it was then she realised how bad it was, I tried all the food on her plate and I agreed. I ate my faggots and mash, it was bog standard but a meal I have eaten many times at home. We don't like to complain, but it was impossible not to, especially with the amount of food left. As we were asked early on if our meal was ok and we said yes, apparently you can't change your mind and my friend was charged the full amount (she would have been happy with any gesture of a discount) but was given a compliments card and told to email the team. We were looking forward to eating, but can safely we won't be returning.

We take my mum here regularly. Great varied menu catering for all. Mum loves the cottage pie and has a side of peppercorn sauce with it! Doesn't need the chips with it though, will ask to swap for veg next time.
