This place has recently had a change of management but Sometimes, a change in management isn't a good thing. I would advise against spending your money at this establishment. During my visit, the bartender seemed disinterested in answering any questions I had about the menu. In fact, any sort of conversation with the staff member seemed difficult. Unfortunately, the steaks my party and I ordered were nothing special. The sides were also far from fresh. Additionally, the steaks were served on old, stainless steel oval trays that had clearly seen better days. This is very sad as it’s so local to us and we used to like going here as the food was lovely but have things have changed :-(. we went for my birthday and I left feeling quite disappointed! I didn’t even want to spend the money on another drink as I felt the atmosphere was awful! So we left and won’t be returning any time soon or be recommending to others !
Not been for a while but saw under new management so thought we'd give it a try. Menu had been simplified. 2 meals for £9 and desserts £2 each. Winner. Tables always used to be sticky but now clean. Decor is still tired but the full change of management was still ongoing so hopefully a full revamp is on the cards when it's finalised. Service was great and the meal was great value for a quick lunch. Could be a goldmine if run properly. Big conservatory and large car park at rear, so great potential. The signs are very good for revitalisation but we'll see. Well done so far!!
Oh dear, where to start? Lot's of potential in this wonderful building but that's where my positives end sadly. The car park is like a Beirut bomb site, the welcome, Luke warm at best. My pint was dubious and I left most of it, I should have had it changed but we were celebrating a family birthday and I didn't want to cause any angst. My wife asked the bar man if he would light the laid log fire or turn the heating on as it was very cool where we were sitting. He bluntly said no. The food, whilst looking terrific value on the menu, was only just warm and served by a less than interested waitress. The food took so long to come out that the first person served had virtually finished eating by the time the last person was served. Finally, and this is so sad, the standard of customer service was so poor it made me reflect on how do we manage to get this so wrong in the UK compared to a lot of other countries? This pub has a lot of potential, but the staff and management need to be replaced with someone who really knows what hospitality is about. Sorry for such a slating but that's how it was.
Food is always nice, good value for money. The table service is brilliant really polite and happy. The only thing that let's it down is the price of drinks, double vodka and coke cost more than my meal !!!!! What you would save on a drink in another establishment you could eat somewhere posh.
Had a lovely meal here with my daughter and partner, and his family. We have been quite afew times, and each time we enjoy it. Lovely food, great staff and the prices are average. Would highly recommend.

Nothing beats a refreshing pint, at the end of a long day. You’ll be hard pushed to find a better selection of cask ales, anywhere else. We have an exciting range of gins too, if that’s what you’re into.
