For how nice the pub and location is I was slightly disappointed with the food and drink v cost. Downside: - The staropramen tasted tangy so I had it changed to cider. - The burger had mac and cheese and pulled pork but the buns weren't toasted so I had to finish half of it with a knife and fork as it fell apart. - Bottom of bun was cold and damp so not sure if plate was cold or bap was defrosted - Fries were OK but needed to use fingers as fork snapped them in half Upside: - lovely staff - sat in front of the log burner was great - Inside is traditionally brilliant - Nice coleslaw - Dog friendly Overall I just felt it wouldn't have taken much to make the food banging instead of just above average, which makes it way more expensive for similar that you would get in a standard food chain pub
Great selection of pub food. Lady behind the bar was lovely and brought our dog a bowl of water without even having to ask. It was a bit chilly at 8pm on a Saturday night, so the log fire being on would have kept us in there longer.
Had a lovely lunch here yesterday. We had a very warm welcome. Camembert and the chutney was amazing. Taste hot dog and followed up with yummy bread and butter pudding. Really happy we found this pub.
To say the Sunday lunch was good would be an understatement. Plenty of meat, vegetables cooked the way I love them, oceans of gravy. The only issue was the impossible to open condiment sachets, but the very friendly staff sorted that out for me. Apple and blackberry crumble lovely. Will be coming back soon
Stopped off here after a trip to Alton Towers....and we discovered a Real gem of a proper traditional pub. Excellent food, cooked by a first class Chef.....Best steak I've had in a long time ...Steak was well done has requested.. succulent and tasty. Never tried Black pudding with Steak before but it will now be a regular request... Everything was cooked to perfection. 😎👍 The home made Steak and Ale pie was very well cooked, lovely, meaty, juicy Steak and Ale filling..pastry was light and melted in your mouth.... The home made black pepper gravy was thick and tasty...the home made onions rings were excepional. The side dish of Scampi was also exceptional, no grease, lightly battered and the scampi inside was well cooked and hot. 😎👍 The deserts were traditional deserts, apple crumble with custard and Lemon roulade but both were exceptionally very tasty. Hospitality, Customer Service and atmosphere was second to none. Lovely surroundings with a warm log fire. Really enjoyable meal and experience. Highly recommended. Thank you.😎👍
