"visited here with the family for a birthday celebration however was disappointed with our evening. the service was slow, especially considering there weren’t many customers on a monday night. my drink was incredibly sour it had to be sent back, the calamari starter was near enough flavourless, with the garlic flatbread being better but undercooked. the mains arrived which were all very average, the steak was lovely however broccoli with the fish cakes was very tough and difficult to eat. the pizza was also undercooked and nearer to being floppy - with the chicken being dry and seemingly out of place on the pizza. overall, it was a shame as the setting and the interior was beautiful. the kitchen staff just need considerable review."

"Had a great meal for an 80th birthday, food was great, (though would be nice to have a bowl of vegetables to share,) and service too. Definitely going back"

"Came here for Sunday lunch with the family yesterday. Service was very good - we were looked after by Rabina and Callum. Drinks were slow to arrive, but in fairness there wasn’t a table free in the pub, it was really busy! The Food was soooo good! Exactly what we had hoped for. A choice of lamb, beef, turkey, pork belly or vegetarian option. No chicken though which seemed a little strange. The roasts were great; plenty of veg and a good size portion. Excellent value at around £14.50 each. Sides were about £2.95 - which was good value for the cauliflower cheese (which was delicious), but less so for stuffing wrapped in bacon at the same price. We didn’t stay for dessert - a slice of cheesecake was £7.75! That’s nearly half the price of a whole roast lunch… which seemed disproportionate. Sticky toffee pudding was £6.95 which was also a little steep I think. Definitely one to book in advance if you’re thinking of coming on a Sunday! Overall, we will definitely be back for another Sunday lunch. Thanks for a great experience!"

"We visited again recently, for the first time in several years. The staff were polite and promised table service but there was none. Had to collect our drinks from the bar, despite being told they would be delivered to the table, the bar tender seemed more interested in taking a call on their mobile. The pub wasn't very busy and we could see staff attending to another table of customers... Our pizza was burnt underneath and the board it was presented on had seen better days. Overall a poor experience, so still only just about worth the 3 stars I gave it last time."
