    The staff is very friendly, had a great time. The sweet potato chips and the sauce is really good. Too bad the steak was very chewy.

    A really nice pub with real fire, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Very family friendly. Food is excellent value for money there are good offers on the menu and via the Sizzling Pubs app with free drinks offers. Food was tasty and good portion size. If parking in the car park you must enter your car reg on the tablets on the bar. Would definitely recommend and return.

    Came in for a birthday meal tonight. Very disappointing. None of the meals were warm, the chips were hard. It was very clear the food had been reheated. No staff members in sight. No one came back to ask if our meal was ok and only one person behind the bar. Also the floor near our table was covered in food from the previous people. The staff cleared the table but left all the food.

    Good sized pub with plenty of car parking and reasonable food. Beware you need to register your car for free on the machine at the bar to avoid penalty parking charges.

    Unfortunately the only good thing about the visit was, The young man that served me was friendly. The restaurant/bar looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned for a number of months, if there is an actual person reading this please spot visit the pub and check the dust on top of lampshades and so on. The glass cups were filthy and just the general look/finer details of cleanliness was lacking. The food was ok at best, a rump steak that was full of fat and tendons, miniature mushrooms that were laughably small. We had to wait a total of 55minutes for the food to come out and the restaurant wasn’t at all busy, I can see why with the lack of cleanliness and quality. I honestly thought for the price point of the food it was extremely below any standard and disappointing. The toilets were blocked in the ladies and again lacking any cleaning standard at all. The whole experience was embarrassing for the chain of pub, seriously needs some strong management to crack down on the simple things like dusting in areas that customers see at the very least. I certainly won’t be visiting or recommending this restaurant/pub to anyone in the future. Disappointing.

    Mother's Day treated Dad. Great food, atmosphere. Staff genuinely friendly, polite & professional. Afternoon almost ruined by the idiot who felt he had the right to shout & be abusive to staff, but as the staff are professional they dealt with him very politely & diffused the situation they should be highly commended. Other than that small hiccup great afternoon.

    Ordered steak and chips with onion rings, got old, dried-out reheated chips and onion rings that had been refried so much that they were dark brown and soggy with oil. Terrible.

    I met an old friend there for Thursday quiz night. First time I had been there. I didn't know it did anything more than snacks; had a superb mixed grill. The quiz was well run. A shame so many people were googling the answers. I'll go again.

    Amazing food as per. No complaints. You should really give Rhys the chef a pay rise. He does out standing work and deserves it. Amazing food from him and made sure it was up to standards. I couldn't speak more highly of the team.

    Sounded like good place to eat & could accommodate gluten intolerance but on arrivale given the alerergen tablet which i hate & when they say they carnt answer your questions ,want to go elsewhere, not much choice so ate up without a drink .

  • 4/5 Barry S. 1 year ago on Google
    Took a group for lunch today, good choice on deal menu, the food looked good and tasted great, everyone left empty plates Staff were friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend

  • 3/5 Ján D. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice place with authentic atmosphere and classic English dishes ranging from full breakfast to steaks etc. Good prices and good quality food. Plenty of parking and located just off the main road A60. Note you need to input your license plate into system terminal at the door to avoid parking fine. Staff is lovely. I recommend. Review 2: I had to change my review from 5* to 3*. Me and my girlfriend we go to this inn regularly… never had any issues except last two times. We waited for food for 1+ hour each time. I understand when it’s busy it’s busy but no staff warned us of the wait at all… also our steaks came way too overcooked… I ordered blue and got more like medium and my girlfriend had rare and received something like well done - don’t get me wrong food was still lovely it was just kind of disappointing. Hopefully we will see improvement next time as we will still definitely visit.

    Food is always good here. Plenty of parking, just remember to register your car reg at the bar. Recently had a menu change so fried eggs are not as standard on dishes, but have been told you can ask for them as an extra. And they don't offer jacket potato as an option instead of chips.

  • 3/5 Val S. 10 months ago on Google
    My husband and I had the Turf and Surf a few weeks ago only to be disappointed by the quality of the rump steak which was very chewy. We gave it another go last night only to have the same experience. This time I ended up taking it home for the dogs. It's a shame as, otherwise, it would have been an enjoyable night out.

  • 3/5 Peter A. 4 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately the steak weren't cooked as requested. Other food was nice.

  • 4/5 sonia m. 4 months ago on Google
    Was really happy that all the food came out one time and was hot and no mix up with the orders although we all ordered at different times. There was 17 of us. Only problem we had was when we asked for the cakes to be bought out it did take about 20 minutes. Do appreciate however that they had orher people to serve. Will definitely visit again

    I met a couple of friends here and I must admit I haven't been for years. As it was lunchtime it wasn't too busy. It's a great idea to give your car registration as you walk in to secure a parking space. The beefburger and chips were delicious and a soft drink was included in the price. Very good value. The staff were extremely friendly which makes the experience so much better. I will certainly return.

    Nice atmosphere. Good range of food and drink. Didn't eat there, so can't rate the food. Beware, you have to register your car at the bar to avoid a parking fine.

  • 3/5 Lara W. 6 months ago on Google
    The service was great and the tables were all very clean but the food was very sub standard. My husband had the skewers and his skillet was full of fluid from his vegetables which left everything all soft and sloppy. My food was ok but was a little disappointed to find that everything was frozen and nothing fresh, it would have been great for some homemade chips and some beer battered onion rings or something similar, even the mushrooms were tinned. I have to say however that our starters were absolutely bang on.

    Lovely staff Family and chilled out pub Easy to get to on bus and car parking space as well Amazing tasty food Quick service Easy to order from the bar or through there app and also pay though that app too Easy to book and fexable to change booking too

  • 5/5 Richard B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, nothing too much trouble. Lovely ambiance with the open fire on made it feel homely and relaxing. The food as always was excellent, i would seriously recommend the fish & chips! I am not sure how how you could make any improvements. We will be back next week!😊

  • 4/5 Anne W. 1 year ago on Google
    We were told there would be a 40 -45 minute wait for food orders. Over an hour later our meals arrived. We enjoyed what we had and were offered free desserts as compensation for our wait

  • 4/5 Gemma H. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in for a bite to eat with my partner, ordered 2 chuck wagon steaks had to send one back to be cooked a little longer but nothing was to much trouble for the staff even got a full replacement, genuinly one of the nicest meals I've had here in a long time. Will definitely be back as the new sizzling skillet meals looked amazing not only on the menu but also the ones going out to other customers

  • 5/5 Rachel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely meal with my family and the service was great, children loved their meals but I struggled as I am a picky eater, I did enjoy dessert though! Friendly service and wasn't long after ordering food arrived

  • 1/5 tom s. 1 year ago on Google
    Took my 3 grandchildren for an evening meal it was awful. My medium steak was well done, full of gristle served with oven chips and soggy onion rings .The kids burger buns were at least 3days old all served with oven chips. The dessert s weren't much better. Very disappointing.

  • 4/5 Affordable W. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff very nice, surprisingly big once inside. Nice pint of Peroni on tap, the food was average for a sizzling pub. The hunters chicken we had, chicken could do with some seasoning when cooking but chips and peas was nice and a decent portion.

  • 5/5 Pauline A. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a fantastic meal today, Fish and chips, well I say Fish it was more like a Whale, two meals for £10, delicious, felt completely safe, really clean, will definitely be returning. The staff were all very helpful throughout.

  • 5/5 Ray M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service by a super friendly bunch of staff. I would recommend this for a family meal for sure. Decent prices too and a large variety of meals and drinks to choose from... Fabulous

  • 2/5 LynneB 5. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly, attentive staff. Attractive decor, especially now with the Christmas tree etc. Clean toilets. Food - poor quality, tasted as if the stuff had been cooked and reheated.

  • 2/5 Robbie P. 2 years ago on Google
    I have to say first, I have never had better service or friendlier staff, they were so nice... And the beer was great too... But the food is why I have given a low review, it was vile .. inedible, I eat anything so I did force myself to eat my curry but would never go back, however we had to stop elsewhere to get food for my partner... I tried hers and even I wouldn't have eaten it. We had a long wait but didn't complain, out of the goodness of their heart we were given a refund for the long wait... So staff 6 stars... Food... 0 stars...

  • 4/5 David H. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were attentive & friendly. I had the Surf and Turf, everything was hot, chips were nice and crisp, prawns were lovely. The only problem I found was with the steak which is the main event. It had too much fat and too chewy for medium rare. Overall I think the food is better than that of most pub grub, I would eat there again.

  • 4/5 Bill S. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm being honest; First bad dinner I've eaten here. Roast potatoes looked like they were deep fried and stuck together in a clump, they didn't taste very nice. Chicken was very dry and the gravy had a terrible burnt taste to it. I could go on but it was not very nice. surprising because I've had a fair few dinners over many visits and always enjoyed them. I won't be rushing back but I definitely will be returning at a later date. Staff are always friendly and attentive.

    We visited The Ram yesterday for a family tea to celebrate my birthday. There were 7 of us including 4 year old grandson and baby grandson 7 months. We all enjoyed our visit - staff were friendly and efficient, choice of food was very good although husband disappointed no cottage pie available...Meal for the 4 year old was amazing value (£1) Toad in the hole with mash and gravy, and ice cream with chocolate buttons. I had received a voucher for a free birthday drink and chose a Gin and Tonic which I really enjoyed. Music was pleasant and not too loud. A lovely comfortable atmosphere. Thanks to all - we will be back soon.

👍👍 Went on the pirates crazy golf. The young girl on the till was absolutely lovely, the way she spoke so naturally happy, chatty and fun personality. Makes such a difference to an experience when you get greeted in such a way. Had a brilliant time and wished it went on for longer like 23 holes. That’s...
