    Second time at the carvery, this time the food wasn’t very warm. Didn’t complain as the gravy heated up the food and had sat down after being at the carvery. Did tell waitress when asked if all was well. Food would have been nice if warm.

    This pub was great when first discovered the carvery. But today the food had no taste and looked like it had been out for a long time. The restaurant wasn’t busy
