We were passing and thought that we would head into the ship ashore after a long drive, we’re glad we did. Amazing food, my beef rib was outstanding. Bar and waiting staff were extremely chatty and pleasant We will definitely be back
We just had a really lovely meal here. The restaurant was very warm and inviting and very clean. I had some vegan options and I was very impressed. We didn't have dessert on this occasion but I'm looking forward to popping back in for the Vegan Cheezecake.
We've been living in the area for years and had never gone to this pub. Well... didn't miss much to be honest. My wife and I decided to give it a whirl for lunch. I ordered the Crispy Prawns as a Starter and a Bacon Cheese Burger as main. My wife went with a bowl of tomato soup as starter and regular BBQ wings as main. The prawns came out... Description says King Prawns ...I paid £5.99 for ... THREE small prawns. Yes THREE... I had to chuckle when the waitress brought the plate. I looked at her with the humblest face I could muster and asked ... "Seriously?" I won't write her response but I liked it. The manager was pretty apathetic about this when I asked to speak with him. The rest of the food? Who cares! I paid £5.99 for three little prawns with some green vegetation and a pink sauce. It ruined the whole meal. They even came in a small plate try and make them look bigger, lol. You live and learn.
We came in for lunch on a cold December Saturday, and we were astonished by the atmosphere. The place had burning fireplaces and amazing Christmas decorations that just made everything super cosy. It wasn't packed. The service was excellent - smiling, polite, and quick. They had a good range of food options, and they prices seemed reasonable. The food was alright, what I would expect from a local pub. The onion rings were very nice, though. They also have Quiz nights, but I'm not sure how regular it is. Overall, it was a great experience.
Loved loved loved the log fireplace...it was a centrepiece statement. Nice location just within the square in Willen, opposite Mercedes office...the food was tasty, I enjoyed it very much, the bread wasn't toasted and I asked with the lady waiting on us, nothing was too much for her to do. Standard pub menu, few free parking spaces, the toilet was a bit questionable with the smell coming through 🫢 The staff in general were efficient, glad they had non alcoholic drink options.
