    We live locally and couldn’t be more disappointed! It was full of students (which is fine - my daughter is one) who create mayhem as they buy drinks individually (obvs never heard of a whip) and therefore service was awful. It’s not a dining pub at all and when local football teams came in dripping of sweat it create a nightmare dining experience! Think they should ditch the food and stick to being a student pub!! Which is cool - just don’t suggest it’s good to eat inside there

    Went for the sharing roast for 6 people. 1 chicken which is meant to serve 2-4 and one beef which is meant to serve 2-3. Chicken was small but tasty. Beef was very gamey with a strong almost off taste.

    The meal was really good but when the bill arrived there was an additional 12.25% service charge PLUS £1.25 to plant a tree !!

    Very underwhelming Sunday lunch and not cheap! Shame as we’ve been before and had a great lunch but today the meat was fatty, roasties bland and everything felt like it had been sat around for a while. Staff were lovely and very helpful but unfortunately food wasn’t up to scratch.

    We went twice in three days! It was a chance find, near where we stayed. The food was excellent, the beer was really tasty and the staff friendly. It being dog-friendly was a bonus. Would recommend it whole-heartedly!
