The Great Northern

"A very extensive menu, with some interesting options, plus "classic staples" eg ham, egg & chips - which was generous, well cooked & excellent value (same price as a nearby garden centre). Service was friendly & efficient, at the table - which was nice. The environment is convivial, and modern. A vegetarian risotto was stodgy and lacking in seasoning & taste, regrettably - so choose carefully. Plenty of parking, but the place is very popular. 4 stars seems right to me. Some definite plusses, but not quite there in places..."

"Waited over an hour for a table (we hadn't booked to be fair), however they forgot about us twice. Landed up leaving as they were just not interested. 1 member of staff was quite rude from the start, not sure what her problem was. I said hello."

"I have always had a good meal here, however; we arrived and they had no record of our booking and no resolution. So we went i to the bar for a drink and ask if we could eat there and could but needed to order at the bar, no problem. We ordered and sat down, now the bar is very run down compared to the other side, there is a corner seated area that would not look out of place in a crack house. Anyway we both had Chicken and Stilton pie which I have had there before but this time wasn't the best, pastry went from rock hard (my wife left hers) to something that felt like it came out of a microwave. We did actually ask if they had been microwaved and were told no. The pie filling was slop no pieces of chicken and no real sign of Stilton. It was edible and ok but probally the worst meal I have ever had at this establishment. Staff were very good other than some guy with a beard that seemed in charge that really needed to learn how to interact with humans."

"Very disappointed. Been here a few times and food was nice. Last couple of times food served lukewarm. Friend had the liver and onions and said it was horrible. Won’t be going back. Waiter when informed was not really bothered"
