"I booked a table for 1700 which we arrived for on time, to be told that there wouldn't be a chef till 1800. When the food did arrive at the best I would call it OK just. Will I return probably because its round the corner from my daughter's house"

"First visit - won't return. Understaffed massively. 25 minute wait for a drink ordered on app. Food order incorrect. Food and drink feels severely overpriced for quality you can find in other pubs. Building nice and potential to be better but for us, our first visit and definitely our last."

"Would give zero stars if I could not even worth one. The worst Sunday lunch I have had, both in terms of quality and quantity. Went today for a birthday lunch but I was left speechless at what i was served as a turkey sunday dinner for the price of £10.49. As it was for a birthday i did not complain or take photos. The staff were lacklustre clearly did not want to be there, No one said hello when we arrived and no one asked how the meal was and no one said goodbye, the chap serving our table sighed all the time, did not engage with us and virtually threw the food at us. he also cleared the table whilst my father was still eating without even asking. As for the food, i doubt there are enough characters for everything that was wrong. My son had a chicken burger despites asking for this to be plain with no salad or mayonnaise and explaining that it was just to be the bun with chicken in and the girl tapping this all in on the screen, it came with everything on! We had to ask for a new bun base. On the roast dinner we got two tiny roast pototoes that had been kept warm and tasted a week old, they were that dry even the steak knife couldnt cut them. The slice of turkey was barely enough for a toddler, I seriously have never seen a portion so small it is hard to comprehend. the parsnips were that tiny you nearly missed them, they had no flesh and were just blackened shriveled bits of chewy stick, frozen carrots barely cooked, the plate was a normal size and despite a large yorshire and a gravy boat on the plate there was still plenty of empty space. Gobsmacked and appalled, awful experience and a complete waste of hard earned money. needless to say we did not stay for pudding and wont be returning ."
