Me and my partner come here often mainly for the carvery. It has always been perfect and we never have any issues with the food or the restaurant. Definitely one of our favourite places to go and we will continue coming back here.

Really good restaurant. Varied menu and carvery smells amazing but I had mixed grill instead. Steak cooked well as was it all. Quick service and doesn't break the bank. Fed 5 of us with drinks and dessert for just over a ton. Came out full! Good value. Better food than hungry horse. Will def go again.

Well where to start, xmas pre booking of 16 for 7pm , found we were on 3 separate tables in a similar area . No xmas table cloths or crackers , so we put our tables together and the lady kindly made it festive for us , lots of confusion over menus , that were on a list exactly what everyone ordered . Had our starters around , 8 , which were nice . Main course around 8.45.. well no turkey left no veg left apart from very burnt parsnip . Choice of a few very black roast potatoes or a few very barley cooked potatoes and no apple or cranberry sauce , a clump of gravy in the bottom of a pot half stuck to the scoop ..so very poor show as we pre booked so you should have made enough for the bookings you took .. When asking the chef if any more food was coming out his reply was ,,YOU ARE LUCKY WE ARE STILL SERVING WE USUALLY FINISH AT 8.30 .. well weve only just finished our starters . YOU WOMEN ARE NEVER HAPPY ARE YOU, YOU HAVE TO HAVE WHATS LEFT . There were 10 more people after me scraping a dinner out of dried up pots , absolutely disgusting food and a very rude chef friday 8th December 2023

Second time of coming here now. Carvery is nice with good amount of meat and selection of vegetables. Steak has been a bit tough. Hence 4 stars. Would still recommend though. 20% off with blue light card and 15% with AA. Friendly staff. Nice cosy pub. Dog friendly. Free parking, you just have to register your number plate.

First visit with my partner. The man behind the bar (Manager?) Was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The food arrived quickly and was nice but not outstanding. My partner had the chicken platter but although he was pleased with it it wasn't as plentiful as the picture on the menu. It wasn't a wow experience but neither a bad one. If u looking for basic "pub grub" you love it.
