   There were no walk ins for the carvery due to how busy they were, booking a table is advised and the only way to guarantee getting a carvery. The food and staff are lovely here.

   Food OK but unfortunately only one person serving food and doing the bar so our experience wasn't the best. A good variety of meals on the menu including separate vegetarian & GF options. Dog friendly too. Nice friendly atmosphere. Hopefully next time there'll be an extra person working so we can have dessert.

   Booked a table for 5 but needed to change it to 7, no problem what's so ever. Please don't think you can do that in the summer, because they will be fully booked. But it was a great evening celebration, my birthday with great friends. Great food, and I wished I'd got the young lady's name that served us because she was an absolute star 🌟

    Booked for Sunday lunch carvery. Got there a little early but shown to our table, which was a cramped 2 seater in the gloomiest, darkest area in the pub. Squashed in between other tables so that every time someone left a neighbouring table, they kicked you or bashed your chair. Service was a clusterfunk ... told it was table service, but drinks didn't arrive for 15 minutes and by the time we got a ticket for the carvery, there was a queue of at least 12 -15 people that never seemed to reduce, so we had to join and stand there for an age, like kids in a school dinner line, shuffling forward every now and then. Food was actually lovely ONCE you got some, but there is no system in place to manage the way that people go up to the counter. It made a mockery of booking at a given time and one group, who arrived after us, gave up and left after being sent back to their table, only to find that another half dozen or so who had arrived after them, were already being served ... appalling way to treat customers. Hate to think what it must be like outside of a mid-January Sunday and in silly season!
