A
group
of
three
of
us
visited
on
a
Wednesday
afternoon.
A
short
drive
off
Junction
3
of
the
M65.
Plenty
of
parking
to
the
side
and
front
with
an
over
flow
car
park
as
well.
Only
saw
2
disabled
bays.
Very
close
to
the
entrance
but
access
didn’t
look
great
due
to
the
angle
they
were
at.
And
bays
didn’t
seem
to
be
marked
out
as
any
bigger
than
the
normal
bays.
However,
access
into
the
pub
for
disabled
was
excellent.
A
ramp
right
up
to
the
entrance.
Inside
though
if
you
are
approaching
six
foot
or
more
you
will
need
to
mind
your
head
as
some
low
ceilings
and
doorways.
It
looked
busy.
Most
people
dining
were
in
what
I
would
describe
as
a
side
annex.
I
don’t
know
for
sure
but
it
seemed
like
it
was
an
extension
built
onto
the
side
of
the
original
building.
I
can
imagine
this
would
be
popular
in
the
summer
as
doors
on
two
sides
could
be
opened
up
giving
access
to
a
seated
outdoor
area.
We
did
get
a
table
despite
not
booking
but
it
might
be
advisable
to
book
if
you
are
visiting
in
a
bigger
group
at
lunch
time.
Drinks
order
taken
and
menus
presented
to
us.
Berra
Moretti
was
£5.60
a
pint
and
a
pint
of
lime
and
soda
was
£1.55.
The
menu
offered
a
wide
range
of
dishes
plus
they
had
a
two
and
three
course
Market
menu
attached.
This
is
available
Monday
to
Friday
between
12
and
5pm
and
Saturday
12
till
4pm.
Choice
of
4
starters,
6
mains
and
3
dessert
dishes
charged
at
£15.95
for
2
courses
and
£18.95
for
3.
I
don’t
know
if
this
menu
is
changed
on
a
regular
basis.
In
hindsight
I
should
have
asked
as
this
would
be
useful
for
future
reference.
I
went
for
the
3
course
option.
My
friend
went
for
2
courses.
We
both
ordered
Black
Pudding
fritters
for
our
starter
and
Gammon
Steak
for
our
mains.
The
3rd
member
of
our
party
ordered
Cheese
and
Onion
pie
from
the
main
menu
at
£14.95.
Started
didn’t
take
long
to
arrive.
We
both
found
them
tasty.
Mains
again
didn’t
take
long
to
arrive.
The
gammon
steak
came
with
thick
cut
chips,
a
poached
egg,
half
a
tomato
and
mushroom
and
two
decent
sized
onion
rings.
Really
enjoyed
the
gammon.
It
was
certainly
a
steak.
Very
thick
but
not
tough
and
not
over
salty.
Found
a
poached
egg
rather
than
a
fried
egg
a
bit
different
for
this
dish.
I
had
asked
for
a
soft
yoke
and
mine
was
done
accordingly.
And
the
onion
rings
were
amongst
the
best
I
have
had
in
a
long
time.
Not
the
biggest
of
portions
but
ample
and
excellent
value
for
money.
Unfortunately
the
cheese
and
onion
pie
wasn’t
going
down
as
well.
Our
third
diner
thought
it
was
bland
and
rather
dry.
Perhaps
this
might
have
been
because
it
was
made
with
Lancashire
cheese.
It’s
not
the
strongest
of
flavours.
He
also
was
a
little
unhappy
about
how
the
beans
had
been
put
half
on
the
plate
and
half
over
the
top
of
his
pie.
He
would
have
preferred
them
served
in
a
separate
dish
on
the
side.
As
he
was
finding
the
pie
quite
dry
he
had
asked
for
two
more
pints
of
lager.
He
did
get
a
little
impatient
and,
I
have
to
admit,
it
did
seem
to
take
a
very
long
time
for
the
two
beers
to
arrive.
It
also
was
a
little
surprising
to
see
the
empty
glasses
left
on
the
table.
It
was
only
when
another
round
of
drinks
was
ordered
after
the
food
was
finished
that
four
empties
were
then
taken
away.
I
was
the
only
one
to
get
a
dessert.
It
was
fine.
And
the
cappuccino
I
ordered
was
again
fine.
Not
the
best
I’ve
ever
had
but
ok.
One
of
our
servers
did
ask
several
times
if
everything
was
ok
and
if
were
we
enjoying
our
food.
Always
nice
to
be
asked.
Many
places
just
don’t
seem
to
ask
or
be
interested
these
days.
Well
it
was
for
me
and
my
friend.
But
our
third
diner
wasn’t
overly
impressed
but
didn’t
raise
any
issues
then
with
the
staff
as
in
themselves
they
were
nothing
major.
Overall
I
would
recommend.
It
was
a
lovely
venue
in
a
nice
location.
I
thought
the
Market
menu
was
really
good
value
for
money.
Not
the
biggest
of
portions
but
three
courses
would
be
more
than
adequate
for
the
vast
majority
of
people.
And
there
was
such
a
wide
range
of
dishes
available
on
the
full
menu
with
some
offers
worth
a
look
at.
I’m
sure
this
establishment
would
be
worth
another
visit
sometime.
