This was a pre booked mothers Day meal table for 9 for 12 o clock, and after going here last year, for the exact same special day, our expectations I'm not gonna lie were high.
Unfortunately, we felt let down as the meal was poor at best. I personally was going to order a chicken parmo, but they had sold out ? It's very strange, but you roll with the punches, so I got a beef dinner .
I hate to do this, but it was just not good. Beef was not nice, quite tough, and chewy. Veg was cold, and hardly any gravy we did order more gravy but overall very disappointed with experience .
Burgers and chips are also not the best. Thus, it was not a cheap meal, so I must state how disappointed and let down we feel sorry would not recommend here.
Staff were lovely shame about food as this was a family occasion organised by brother in law .

We booked our table for 13 for my daughter birthday meal. Staff were brilliant. Fish and chips were superb I would say best we have had in a long time. Steak was over done quite dry but still nice. Venison pice was lovely. However the 4 parmos need working on. They were so dry the sauce was hard Maybe it was a one off ordering 13 meals all at once. Will go again.
Kid-friendliness: Very friendly.

Great local pub, a short walk from the Premier Inn I was staying at.
Friendly staff, large carpark, outside wooden huts to sit and drink in for when it's sunny.
Good selection of beers and plenty to choose from on the menu and the specials board.
Really nice decor inside, its quite deceptive from the outside, screens showing sports and not too loud so you cant have a chat.
I had the Rib Eye Surf & Turf off the specials, it came with onion rings, chips, and battered sweet chilli prawns, with a jug of peppercorn sauce. Followed by an Espresso Martini Tiramisu Sundae which tasts as good as it sounds.

Went for a belated birthday lunch. The food was delicious, the service was very good. The staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful. A very nice atmosphere and the decor was subtly festive. A lovely afternoon lunch. Will definitely go again.

I would never have guessed this pub is part of the Stonegate empire. It really does have the feel of a cosy local where the staff were engaging and helpful and the food was good VFM pub food. Not a gastropub but definitely fit for purpose.
We'll be back.

Been here a few times but today? omg what went wrong?? My friend and I ordered the steak and venison pie and the chicken and pancetta pie for lunch. Meals came, mash had an old warmed up look to it, and the pies were BOTH STONE COLD inside! I spoke to the staff who said they?d get it sorted for us and removed the meals. I was horrified that both these meat dishes were clearly not cooked anywhere near properly. Because of this, I decided I was not happy to stay and eat here. I explained this and asked for a refund, which I got without any issue. (Someone else was complaining about their food too whilst I went to the bar. ) I was thoroughly disappointed as I?ve had nice food here before but this experience has put me off coming back. Not at all acceptable for a food establishment. I had spoke highly of your pub to my friend and felt like this experience spoilt our day. I felt it was more of a food hygiene / health and safety issue than ?- oh we?ll get that sorted for you!?

Really disappointed, you advertise yourself on Facebook as been so dog friendly and having a dog menu, but yet when we visited on Saturday I asked about the dog menu, to have a lady behind the bar flap about and eventually decide there wasn't any left to be told well we haven't much in anyway and to be asked what did I want ? Well, if I knew what you had, I wouldn't be asking for a menu .... I just said it didn't matter , I was offered treats in a bowl, which I turned down as I wanted something novel as you advertise.
The food was disappointing. I ordered a fish goujon sandwich. I was told we don't have white bread, only brown .... when it came out, there were more chunks of lettuce than there were fish goujons ! Won't be returning
