    Great food & welcoming friends staff made this pleasant visit. We did experience a blackout but that was soon sorted. Toilet could have been a bit cleaner. Felt sorry for the music entertainment about to start as we was leaving (we’d finished meal & had to get home) as hardly anyone left and n the venue.

    Lovely meal and good value for money however there was about 6 young kids kicking a leather football around the inside of the pub and outside and hit me in the back which in turn ruined a lovely evening the parent was too busy looking at her phone No problem with kids being in a pub as long as they behave when your spending £30 for pub grub you expect to be able to enjoy it without worrying if a heavy leather football is going to hit you or knock your drink and food off the table

    Very accommodating at short notice to party of 12, plus 2 dogs and a few children! 🤣 Food came out hot, and all at the same time, In a good timeframe. Staff were very patient and accomodating, and food tasted great. Will definitely return!

    I went with friends & we all loved the food. The steak pie was highly recommended & was delicious two of us had the roast which was excellent. For dessert we had the crumble & custard which was really good too. The food & vegetables were all fresh & the flavours were great, the creamy leek vegetable dish was superb & my personal favourite. It's clear they care about flavour & quality.
