Lovely pub. Stayed for a weekend and had one dinner there. Great food, but the pub itself was cold inside and by the time we ate at 8pm, was emptying out so lacked a little atmosphere. Rooms are nicely done with lots of character (and were nicely warm!), however our room at the front of the pub was very noisy from both the pub (early in the morning from the staff) and the road outside. Final mention to some very friendly, helpful staff. Thank you.
My partner and I visited for lunch on a cold winter's day, accompanied by our dog. We were all made very welcome. The staff were informal yet attentive. Service was timely. The food (squid, soup, venison pies) was excellent. Only downsides: it could have been warmer (even though we sat next to the one functioning radiator); whilst tables were assiduously cleaned, the floor looked as though it could do with a deep clean. We will happily return - probably on a warmer day . . .
If you offer just one vegetarian option on your menu then at least make it better than a pasta dish with tomatoes and feta. Would it kill you to offer a veg option for a Sunday roast? Inflexible service unwilling to swap the mandatory starter for a side of vegetables with a poor excuse about not being 'able'. Diet coke was flat, sent it back to be replaced with yet more flat diet coke. Our party spent £230+ for our meal and it was a disappointing experience.
Dinner for 6. Everyone ordered different food in the menu. I had squid for starters and it was very salty. I asked for sea bream with chips instead of potatoes. It came with potatoes and chips bowl at the side. I told the male waiter my requested food and he came back with ONLY a sea bream on a plate. NO LEMON, no dressing, not even a sprinkle of anything. He should have explained that the potatoes were all mixed with veg that they cld not be separated. What’s more he rolled his eyes when I tried to make it right. Requested English mustard didn’t get to the table either. Other than these incidents, all other food were delicious and friendly ladies staff. Food presentation need to be improved.
Won't be visiting again. Ordered roast dinner, which was inedible. Beef was all fat. Roast potatoes like bullets, couldn't be cut. For some reason beetroot was on the plate. Never known with a roast before. Yorkshire hard. Some round rock hard thing...we assume perhaps celeriac?! Couldn't tell as was tasteless. We had 2 mouthfuls at most and couldn't eat it. Told the waiter, who's attitude was a lot to be desired. He stated, " oh well they were last two ,so probably been sat an hour!" We said we would pay for the drinks and leave. One of which was a carafe of wine, which had just a small amount taken from it. The rest of the wine was still in the carafe. I stated I'd pay for a glass. He said "no you won't, there's nothing wrong with the wine!". I said "then if I'm paying, I'll take it with me", as was £17. He handed me a takeaway coffee cup with a hole in, to carry my wine! Appalling food, disgusting service. Noted more comments on here with similar reviews. Wish we had seen beforehand.
