   We had dinner here a year ago and it fabulous. However, we cannot say the same when we had lunch there yesterday. Seriously gone downhill. Food was poor and very overpriced for what we got. Service was abysmal. Every time we ordered drinks, we waited ages for their arrival but they never appeared. Staff had to be reminded repeatedly. Shoddy service and a significant decline in the standard of food.

   Pub had good vibe, it was busy but staff were on it and attentive. Fish and chips were great the batter simply melted in your mouth.

   Variety of food options could be better, also price vs. portion a bit off market

   For lunch on Monday 28th April, we had the seafood dish with what tasted like a strange grain (not described on the menu) which turned out to be durum wheat semolina, a Sardinian pasta. The problem was that there was more of this semolina than the actual seafood, so it filled out the dish. Taste was not good, drowning what little there was of the seafood. The point is if I had known it was pasta, I would not have selected it as I don't tend to eat pasta dishes.

   The bar isn’t very varied in beer or cider choices but the food is incredible! The service was accurate and prompt, the food simply exquisite. We didn’t have time for dessert but we’ll definitely come back. Will 100% recommend.

    Average burger - not asked how we wanted it cooked and it was over cooked and that sort of compressed meat like a frozen burger. Steak as only average and also over cooked
