Food portion sizes are extremely small for the price & drinks on the expensive side.
I had a mixture of sides & had the Halloumi fries, wow what a small portion!!!! £7 for a few shrivelled up pieces of Halloumi. I did mention to the staff & they said 'that's the portion size' they couldn't do anything about it, not even adding a few extra pieces!!!
Won't be eating there again.
Great atmosphere, lots of space inside & outside to sit but not worth spending money on the food.

Really gone downhill. 15 minute wait to be served and had to chase each course, food was cold, we were the only people in the restaurant.

Went in for a pint at 10.30 on a Tuesday and they wouldn?t serve me because they shut the bar because there were ?only 10 people in?. I know loads of pubs that would love to have 10 people in on a Tuesday night. The bar did t look shut, all lights were on.
Instead of just pouring me a pint and accepting my money, they just decided that was that.
One member of staff was sat at the bar with a computer could have served me but he couldn?t be bothered. Massively disappointing after a long day at work and I just wanted a quick beer or two

I ordered the Sunday lunch (pork belly) on the 2nd February and was very disappointed. The Pork was either overcooked or re heated as it was very dry and there was no way I could eat the crackling as it was too tough not crackly at all. The roast potatoes had seen better days as they were again overcooked or re heated (for about the 3rd time). The staff were very friendly and dealt with my complaint sympathetically. I won't be going back!

£7 a pint! Holy hell! I've had cheaper drinks in London!
Do not recommend!

Had our Christmas party there. Food was pre-booked which was helpful as we didn't have to wait too long to be served even though it was very busy. They also came out and called our names to give us the food which was great. The atmosphere was good, although a little loud, but being so busy you would expect that. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was tasty but there were a couple of little issues such as massive sprouts which were still hard and difficult to cut in half and the roulade for pudding was just a small slice in the middle of a large plate, no cream or anything and looked like no effort had been made whereas the other puddings were bigger and better presented. Didn't spoil our night though and would go there again.

I attended a works Christmas meal tonight and our party was seated in the bar area which was over crowded. We had to shout to hear each other. Our table was segregated into a circular and rectangular table set for ten people which meant couples were separated on separate tables.
This wasn't conducive for good business relations nor enjoyable for those attending.
The meal was half an hour later than the original time booked for the meal. This meant the entire evening, already late, was pushed back another half an hour. 9pm is far too late for beginning of a three course meal. We were booked in and had prearranged meals, so our meals should have been timely in accordance with 830pm starting. My starter bread was burnt so had to be replaced, another party member had the same but didn't complain. The brussels were solid (uncooked) and carrots hard.. never a good start... The turkey was stringy and the red cabbage was pickled rather than soaked in red wine sauce for a roast dinner.
So basically the only redeeming factor was the roast potatoes.
The desert was by all intents bland and forgettable.
I'd rather forget the entire meal. I'm sorely disappointed.

Very disappointed with the food, microwaved pie lumpy mash, the ale wasn?t much better.

Went here with 5 other family members. Mac n cheese was fine, burger was good but steak frites was very overcooked. Calamari was not great. Service was slow and not attentive. Cool decor though. Burgers are a safe bet but rest of menu appears to be a minefield. Adequate at best, food nothing special.

Friendly atmosphere and fab food and drink but staff not professional.
We booked to have the Sunday carvery for the 2nd time but this time when we got there they had stopped doing the carvery so we went to Pizza Express and has lovely food and service. The worst thing was the unprofessional manner to deal with the problem.

Christmas day lunch we arrived early but our table was ready, staff friendly and attentive.
Starter was very nice, turkey lunch although pleasant could have been so much better roast potatoes looked deep fried, veg very chunky so wasn't crispy or looked glazed on outside sprouts very large again loses flavour turkey/pigs in blankets nice.Gravy easy to make from scratch should be tasty not too thick and only small amount over main dish.
As a aged working in restaurants over many years make sure guests have plenty of sauces more gravy offered or a small bottle of gravy added turkey can be bit dry if lacking gravy but it was hot. Cheesecake looked great with chocolate top but asked for pouring cream which should have been offered wasn't available that made eating dessert becoming dry as chocolate was very thick.
Toilets each time I've visited have either lack of tissue or soap must be checked every hour during opening hours a must.
If I offered advice place Veg in separate dish put meat n roasts PIB on main plate with small amount of gravy then guest offered more gravy so chef doesn't make that decision on how much and it will stop lunch looking like school dinners. And make table look fuller and appealing. Also 10% service charge on top of bill .
Parking: Large council car park opposite pub and reasonable hourly rate cash or phone to pay.

Front of house, very rude and unwelcoming! In a half full restaurant he stated there would be a delay on service because of a large booking. I explained we had booked a table in advance. He continued to say they were a priority because they booked at least a month ago? bad attitude. Food was mediocre

Works Christmas Party of 20 people, good atmosphere, staff really helpful, table set up nicely for us, food delivery very sporadic from starters onwards, some arrived cold, food tasted ok, nothing special some of it bland, portion size EXTREMELY small, nearly all that attended complained that they were still hungry after the meal which is not something you want to hear after the company paying best part of £1000 for the staff to have a 3 course meal in this current financial time!

Very poor service, and the whole pub is very badly managed. Some of the beers were undrinkable because when the kegs start running out, they start combining old beer with new.
Toilets - very dirty :( altogether, would not recommend at all
