    Lovely open fire in the main pub area and a welcoming environment and friendly staff. The dining area at the back was a little chilly, where the carvery was set up. However, food was good and we had a great time. Live background music playing during Sunday lunch was a nice touch - we'll definitely go again.

    We were lucky as we'd booked an early lunch and so were able to eat most of our meal as the only party in the restaurant. Emma was a very attentive server and nothing was too much trouble. Food was really lovely; me and my husband had eaten here before but it was the first time for our companions and they were very impressed. One of them is a vegan and she loved that there were good choices for her.

    Waitress did not provide the service you would expect in a restaurant, didn't say about a specials board, didn't check if we wanted sauces or if we were enjoying the meal. Didn't apologise when the dessert was wrong. Never checked if we wanted more drinks. Just was not friendly & there was no hospitality. The burger was delicious but desserts were not what was expected. A sundae is not 2 scoops of ice cream in a silver dish. Also the sticky toffee pudding states custard but then came up with ice cream. I have eaten in here before & always enjoyed the food & service which is why I chose to take my mum there for her birthday but we didn't walk away feeling like we want to go back.
