Have visited 3 times in recent years with family and every visit someone has got food poisoning. It is a good place for a drink with a roaring fire inside and the staff are so lovely. Again I would not recommend eating anything here
Place wasn't busy, but they do have their busy times. The staff were very welcoming, and the service was delivered with a smile. It's not an expensive pub/restaurant and worth a visit as it's been around for decades and still maintains its old pub character...enjoy..!
Booked a table for 6pm but arrived early. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and said our table was ready. I fancied a gin and tonic for a change - they offered quite a good selection of gins but only had Britvic tonic as they had run out of Fever Tree. Second choice was house red which I was allowed a taste of as it was one I wasn't familiar with. Prices on drinks was reasonable at eleven quid for a pint and a large glass of red. A sharing plate of baked camembert to start that came with onion chutney and lightly toasted bread was delicious and plenty for 2. The mains however, were a disappointment. I ordered the chicken hanging skewer with chargrilled veg that came with 3 dips and chips. Skewer was lovely, but why serve frozen chips and spoil the meal?? They were so dry and tasteless, brought the overall effect down. Husband ordered lamb kofti special - spicy rice was not spicy, not enough mint/garlic sauce and the chunky salsa was missing entirely 😞 Not a raging success... don't think we'll be going back.
Fantastic welcome from the barman and the young lad that delivered our food to the table was extremely polite and offered to bring a water bowl for our pooch too....Nice. I had the cheese and bacon burger, which was absolutely delicious and my partner had the small cod and chips, which she happily devoured. Great service, great grub....and a lovely place to sit in the beer garden too. Top marks all round to you all. We will be back.
Very dog friendly, staff excellent big shout out to Jake. If you don't know the turning off the road you can miss it but there's a roundabout you swing round if you miss it. It was our second time visiting (from London) love this place.
