    My husband is unwell at the moment but as it was his birthday we decided to make it a little special and come out to lunch. We felt really comfortable where we sat in the restaurant and the waitresses were really friendly. Unfortunately my husband is unable to eat very much at the moment and there were so many things that he would normally chose on your menu but he had to go for the jacket potato and salad which he did enjoy. It was lovely to just be out and having lunch in such a lovely pub restaurant

    Went for Mother’s Day and ordered several roasts for the table - meat was overcooked, veg was boiled, Yorkshire pudding looked like it was from a packet. For £18.50 for what was basically a school dinner version of a roast, it was really poor. Service was good considering it was busy and staff were nice, but food really was disappointing.

    We ate here for a Father’s Day and had done so last year and for my birthday lunch last month. However, on Sunday, the service was not up to the usual standards that we have had at the pub in the past. We arrived promptly at 2pm. We made our way to the restaurant area of the pub and had to wait a good 5-7 minutes for someone to confirm which table we should sit at. We ordered our drinks and food quite quickly so by about 2.20pm. We then waited until 3.30pm for our food. There was no updating us or apologies for the long wait. We also had to ask 3 different staff members for some water for the table. I think the pub overstretched itself on Sunday as they serve food to people sitting in the bar area and also in the garden outside. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.
