    Excellent meal this evening, Salt & Pepper Chicken & Chips was lovely and the Brisket of Beef was out of this world, sides of Mac & Cheese and Onion Rings was epic especially the Mac & Cheese, portions were very good.

    No wonder we were the only table in. Family of 6 4 adults 2 children. More staff than customers and yet the service was terrible waited over half hour for drinks then another 10 minutes on top to take our food order. Starters were nice and fresh main meal was like a re heated leftover sunday lunch served on a monday. Lager was flat and then we were over charged on the bill and no apology given once their error had been pointed out. No atmosphere and no conversation from any of the robot like young staff.

    Before covid it used to be one of our favourite pubs in the area. After today’s visit I have to admit they went downhill ever since. The red flag was nearly empty space on Friday night, had we paid attention! The menu didn’t have half of the meals, the ones remaining available had missing ingredients. We ordered a starter only to find out after some time that it wasn’t available, okay that happens. The Caesar salad had croutons that must’ve been deep fried, so oily, seriously - how can you possibly make this salad wrong? The chicken from the mixed grill tasted like it’s been microwaved. No thank you, we won’t be coming back I’m afraid..

    Great food and lovely staff with attentive service. The atmosphere is nice with candle's on the table. The food is really well cooked and seasoned. Price is competitive and well worth it for the quality on offer

    Went to valentine's evening meal, wasn't expecting a set menu, but it had a really good selection on there and for £35 per head we thought it was very good value. Service was excellent, the little booth was nice and intimate but the food was fantastic, as was the bottle of malbec we washed it down with. Very impressed

    Took the wife here for here birthday, the irony was not lost on her. I ordered the meat lovers burger. She had the chicken Kiev. She loved the fact that it came with a little jug of garlic butter and liked the fact the chicken was "really dense". Lots of chicken. My burger arrived with a steak knife rammed through it to keep the burger together. An 8oz Steak Burger topped with a medley of BBQ Brisket, Smoked Streaky Bacon, Chorizo and Piri Chicken topped with melted Cheddar and Onion Rings. I had to "deconstruct" the burger to eat it, it was ma-hoo-sive. Absolutely bloomin delicious. Wife loved chicken Kiev too. Staff were great manager on the night was really nice and had a really good chat with him. 100% going back there.

    The food was excellent, the coffee perfect and the staff were attentive. We felt comfortable and unrushed to enjoy our time there. *Asked to update my review - still magnificent, still 5 Stars.

    The absolute BEST fillet steak I have ever had, the flavour was out of this world! We had 3 courses & all were great & the service- we dined in their outdoor area which was sheltered from the horrid rain on the day we chose to visit! The heaters were very welcome!

    Visit for a special Mother's Day treat. Obviously the end of a very long day for the staff A few minor issues with wait time and the order but the service recovery skills and understanding shown by Ben were excellent. Food was very good - I wish it had been brought out all together though. The fajitas were good value and were very good indeed. Nice but not quite as good as I'd hoped.

    Very nice food! I had the mixed grill.They still had some kind of help out to eat out discount when we visited on a Tuesday in September 2020 that they took the hit on? (Government should be helping out more! ) Felt very safe with screens around tables.Friendly staff good atmosphere despite these horrible times.

    TERRIBLE!!!!! I’ve been here 3 times the first time was lovely the 2nd time the beef was so hard it wasn’t edible, I had to complain and they didn’t charge me So I thought I’d give it another try Terrible food 2 thinly sliced pieces of beef 2 roast potatoes 4 carrots 4 snap peas and a large Yorkshire pudding and a spoon full of mash for £12.50 🥴 we won’t be returning this is the 2nd time I’ve been where the food was absolutely diabolical never again

We were asked if we wanted any sauce we said yes never came back with sauce then had the cheek to charge a service charge sorry off the staff sometimes don't cut it no refund offered.

    Beautiful food, absolutely amazing staff and quite a cosy place in general with a good amount of parking spaces. We had a lovely evening and I'll definitely be coming back with other friends and family too!

    Abysmal customer service from the manager and shocking food. Ordered a simple Cajun chicken burger for my pregnant girlfriend and it came pink. We complained and the manager took it back and came back and said the chef said it was cooked through. Manger then came offered no alternative or anything. Just took the chefs side then brought the food back with no knife and fork. See the image below. It’s pink.

    I feel the place has become shabbier since I was last there pre covid. My food was mediocre (and I think they brought me the incorrect meal actually) but others in my group enjoyed theirs. Staff were friendly and helpful, but I won't be rushing to return.

    Ran out of pizza dough.. And cheese.. Which for 7pm on a Saturday isn't ideal. I feel that management could probably help the waitresses more as they seem very capable but need more help with organisation. The burgers were tasty though and we enjoyed the food we received!

    A fantastic place to dine. Let car park. Covid safe plenty of room inside, tables cleaned after use. Food ace their steak selection is great. Food cooked to perfection and steak cooked to your liking 👍
