    The food was amazing. Best steak and ale pie my husband has ever had. The french onion soup was so flavourful. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend a visit.

    overpriced basic food. Surprise platter was a let down and not worth the money, main menu was served with no vegetables and it tasted like instant mash was used and I couldn't eat it. The sausage was bland with no flavour and tasted cheap. My partner ordered the duck with noodles, again very poor quality food and we will not go back.

    Very sad to see this written online so quickly and harshly. Why not say anything to the many members of helpful staff while you’re dining with us? That is what they are there for. Nothing is too much trouble to sort out, if you do not like your dish that you ordered for any reason we can swap it for another or take it away and refund your money, can not be fairer than that. Better than being a keyboard warrior who eats and pays for a meal they don’t like. We do table check at many stages of the meal. Everything is cooked with quality and fresh ingredients, we do not use instant mash, anyone is welcome at anytime to step into our kitchen and see the hard working chefs preparing items from scratch, see them use the potato peeler and mash the fresh steamed potatoes by hand every morning.
