We were there a party of 12 every meal we had was fantastic no complaints of anything that was put on the table excellent looking forward for the next one well done travelling man
Food was very tasty and piping hot. Good selection on the menu. There were others dining when we arrived at 7:00 but very few when we left at 8:30. Apparently each night varies - some are busier than others so probably worth reserving a table if you can. Great find. Excellent value for money. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
Sunday lunch was really nice, it was busy but didn't have to wait too long for a table. Only thing that couldn't really be helped was we were close to another table with an older couple in and we heard every bit of their conversation and they were a bit loud. But that's nothing to do with the pub itself.
Good food, very hot, nicely cooked. Black pudding stack starter was very nice with peppercorn sauce - on the salty said, good for me but worth knowing. Rump steak surf and turf - requested rare, cooked as asked for. Could do with seasoning, not as flavourful a cut, would benefit from the optional (£3) peppercorn sauce. Fries were soft and sweet, tasted like beef dripping was used, very good. Only the scampy was a let down - not up to the standard of the other ingredients and only 4 small one. £21 in total, we'll priced, good quality, served fast. Ate at 6pm on a Monday.
Wow is all I can say. We went for lunch and it was busy but we were sat quickly by very friendly staff. The meals are massive and very tasty. The veg was fresh and had a lovely crunch to it still the meat was tender and the gravy wash lush. Even had a pudding

Nothing beats the atmosphere of our traditional pub, as a place to meet up and socialize with friends and family. There’s no better place to swap news, view sports events, have a drink and share a bite to eat in a relaxed and friendly environment.
