Traditional pub, lovely food, nice atmosphere. Had their festive meal which was lovely. Would recommend 👌
Really nice Sunday Lunch. Well prepared, well presented and realistically priced. Friendly service. Would recommend and will return.
Been here a couple times. Pint glasses often (in my experience) have bits inside them, like dried crusty food. Unfortunately staff got indignant when asked to replace drinks because of the dirty glasses. Once the barmaid even tried to just pour the dirty contents into a new glass. Clean your dishwasher machine now and again, buy a new one, or check the glasses manually before serving. These are the basic requirements for running a pub. Food was also incredibly bland, Sunday lunch in particular was a big disappointment. It was like something a granny would make, but not a fondly remembered granny, one who you thought when growing up shouldn't cook. I'd recommend the owners visit other places (not the Star) to get a vibe for where the pub grub scene is, because right now, they're stuck in the 80s. A lot of places locally require booking ahead for Sunday lunches, PHI doesn't, I think that says a lot about it. I won't return. Ps. I'm not vegetarian, but my guest was, and the veggie stuff wasn't good either.
Long covid: Struggling three years with no taste or smell, I find it difficult to rate the restaurants I visit. However, sometimes there's a reprieve, and the gammon I had wasn't too bad. The only reason for the 4 star rating was the small pineapple ring placed on top of said meat. It just wasn't enough.
Coming from London trying to find a place to have brunch on Bank holiday and thankfully they were open. It was cold and rainy as we could only sit outside with the cover but they turned on all the heaters to make sure everyone is warm. Very nice and friendly staff patiently explained the menu and dishes. The mains are big and fulfilling. We tried the welsh lamb liver and it was great! Also their steak was amazing. Overall very good experience, would recommend this place.
