We came for a Sunday roast. The food was lovely we thoroughly enjoyed the roast chicken and pork belly. The service was great nothing was too much trouble. Will be back again soon.

The food here was very good. I had the Pan-Fried Scallops for starter and the Sea Bass Fillets for main. Forgot to take any pictures, but it was presented well and we didn't wait long for it. They didn't have our first choice of red wine, but we managed to find a suitable alternative. Service was friendly but little slow at then end of the evening (the staff were just busy, certainly not stood around chatting). There was a strange drain smell by the front door which wasn't the ideal start, but it wasn't present in the restaurant thankfully. Will definitely visit again, good food & service at a reasonable price.

Looking a little shabby on the outside. But inside it’s lovely as ever. Been a good few years since I last dined here. Food was fab. Service exceptional. Shout out to our sommelier and David for being amazing

We live locally so have been here a few times, unfortunately our visits are always quite rare given the overall poor experiences we’ve had. We wanted to give it one more try today with family for Boxing Day, and whilst it was busy the service was abysmal. First our table wasn’t ready until 45 min after our booked time. Then it took 3 hours to serve a three course meal. We constantly had to ask to order, get cutlery and try to pay. We end up just not having drinks for our main as they never came by and we got fed up with waiting. The food was okay, nothing mind blowing or worthwhile. We’ve come here for all sorts of family gatherings, events and meet ups but I think tonight is the last. Shame as I love the setting and the pub but I can’t justify spending my money here given the experiences. If you’re in the area for a drink then it’s worth checking out, if you want a meal I’d recommend elsewhere for far better food and service.

Lovely food for all 3 courses, we had the festive set menu which still had a good choice. The bar was very busy as you entered but it didn't affect the restaurant. It was priced very well for a little bit of a 'special' dinner for certain occasions. And finally the staff were all attentive, well presented and gave great service. A 5 star review for our visit.
