    Very restricted menu on which the only carbs are slices of bread at £4.00 for 2 slices. We had really delicious first courses and a big bill and went home to fill up.

    Culinary disappointment:( really sorry to say that but the food is just so bad. We came for Sunday roast Where you expect to get potatoes with gravy and nice piece of meet And instead They give you lentil stew with fat pork belly seasoned with heaps of salt. Everything overpriced. Not coming back there. Shame .

    I picked this venue for my 60th birthday celebration with my family because it is very close to where I was born at the Salvation Army Mother's Hospital! It was a good choice. The staff were lovely and accommodating. They were fine with me bringing my own cake and flowers for the table. I LOVED the huge wooden table that we sat at for the evening (with two small children). We could spread out in a totally relaxed way. The chefs were really lovely, and the food delicious and beautifully cooked. They specially prepared meals for the two children who are dairy intolerant. I would highly recommend this ambient pub/restaurant. Thank you!

    The staff were amazing and they even helped my friend who has a number of allergies. The roast is one of the best. 🙂

    Great welcoming and friendly staff. Had the roast chicken - it was OK, but the yorkshire pudding was soggy and the roast potatoes floury. The atmosphere was great. Recommend for drinks. The cocktails were fab!

    My boyfriend and I gave the pub a visit on bank holiday Sunday, the pub was lovely and quiet with a nice crowd. The pork roast was absoloutley delicious and we would definitely come again. Really nice atmosphere, pub and staff.
