    Food was delicious as always! Sadly though, my niece had to make a makeshift veggie meal out of roast potatoes and veg as there were no vegetarian options on the kids menu. Service was ok, we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese that didn’t arrive but we weren’t too sad about that as the main was quite big. But we were brought 2 wrong puddings and had to wait a little bit for the correct order, which when it arrived was delicious!! Still a lovely pub and will be back of course!

    Food was ok, large portions but lacked taste. The main complaint was the complete lack of atmosphere - bearing in mind this was the Christmas Menu/dinner. I don’t believe there was one Christmas light/effect in the restaurant other than little Christmas tree on the tables that looked like an after thought. I struggle with this ‘pub’ especially as it’s part of a very successful chain - it really is the poor relation, Suffice to say we won’t be eating in the restaurant again, there’s too many other excellent eating establishments in the area. …and they got the bill wrong !!

    Just a simple business lunch. Fancied fish and chips which was really nice. Nice quiet booth the talk business and very good attentive service. Have previously been for a Christmas meal. Very nice place.

    Service was slow and they were not that busy Food was lovely although not much of it! The cheeseboard was disappointing again not much of it and the cheese was as if it had just come out of the fridge!

    Really enjoyed our food. It was an interesting menu with some nice choices. Our only complaint is the cost where it all seemed quite expensive almost £200 for 3 x diners and no bottles of wine.
