    Came for Birthday / Fathers day dinner with my Partner and Son and we were not disappointed. Despite arriving an hour early for our booking John went out of his way to accommodate us. Started with the Burata entree which was fantastic then onto the Roast pork and the Black Sticks burger, both of which were outstanding. Finished with the Chocolate Orange Eaton Mess and the Baby Guinness Fudge sundae A++ All the staff were friendly and attentive ensuring a great evening out Thank you for making it a great day

    The pub was not too busy but there was only one staff member dealing with food and drink orders, which she handled very calmly. Our food appeared without delay and was well cooked, well presented and very tasty. No complaints.

    I like this pub, the food, drinks and atmosphere has always been good when I've been there. We did wait quite a while for our lunch, fortunately we had ordered a cocktail so chatted while we waited, and weren't disappointed when the food did arrive.
    The GardenersResponded on May 6, 2025
    Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for your lovely review, we appreciate people taking the time to give us feedback. I am truly sorry if you had to wait for your lunch, time to table is something we constantly strive to keep a track of. Hope the cocktails were as good as the food and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Bets Jon and The Gardeners Team

    We had a lovely evening and the service was great and the food is good quality and value, so well cooked and presented. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I really couldn't fault it. John is a great host and assured us even if we went alone we would be welcomed. As far as I'm concerned it's the best pub in the area.

    Had Sunday lunch ( rib beef) ordered extra roasties and cauliflower cheese all cooked to perfection, portion size is great, didn’t order a starter as I’ve been before and the roast itself is definitely a belly buster
