Lovely little pub, really looking forward to trying somewhere new, but not did we regret it, the staff were great but I think the chief was having a bad day, garlic mushrooms on chiabatta bread, looking like mud, no taste of garlic what do ever not even a hint, but the mashed up mess tasted awful, only had 2 mouth fulls, then wasted the rest, I had scampi and oh my goodness you couldn't even bite into it, I knocked 1 piece on the side of the plate and it was solid, you could see it was burnt, so will never go there again and will advise family and friends to give this a miss, but staff were lovely shame about the food.

Lovely surroundings, and great potential with the food, however I think we were unlucky on this occasion. Sirloin steak ordered medium but was cooked through, certainly a well done. Onion rings and chips were nice, as was the steak sauce. Not amazing value for money in reality, and the slow service was a real let down
