Wanted to go for a Boxing Day family meal with a baby and they placed out baby next to a massive crowd of drunk people when there was plenty of empty tables in the restaurant area, I honestly think it?s disgusting to say there was no other room made a 30 minute journey as we like the food to be left utterly disappointed I will never be going here again and I wouldn?t if you have a baby staff just left us at the bar and was waiting to even be asked what we was there for

Visited here on 8.10.24 with family. There was 8 of us.
The table and seating was a bit cramped for 8 of us but we managed.
There was only one vegetarian option on the menu. It was a cauliflower steak.This was quite bland and flavourless and could have done with some sauce and something to add a bit of colour, it was all very brown.
Everyone loved the pies but one of our party said that their chips tasted frozen rather than triple cooked.
Dessert I ordered the crumble and custard. The crumble topping was very hard and the custard was more like a runny hot cream.
There was no selection of alcohol free normal cider.
It was exceptionally hot and that made it quite uncomfortable.
All in all it was ok but I thought the menu overpriced, as this was my first visit to this pub, there was nothing that would make me want to rush back.
The car park is also extremely small and if you are trying to get out while someone is trying to come in , it is very tricky.
Food and drinks: No Plain alcohol free cider options
Food ok but overpriced
Need more vegetarian and vegan options

Called in for Beer and Food, the meal was excellent and the service was the same. Would definitely go again if in the area??

Myself and family were disappointed with our meal after previously coming a while ago having had a fabulous meal. However on our most recent visit we were disappointed to be sat in the bar area after having requested the restaurant. The bar area was extremely busy and we were sat next to the door. Myself and my husband were disappointed with the food as was not up to scratch. Although we didn?t have to long to wait, two family?s close to us had to wait an 1.5 hours for their food.

What a gem of a place, staff great, food great and so busy. Glad we got there when we did or we?d have missed out on the food. Accommodation was very good, quiet, plenty of parking, load of hot water and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent, all high quality ingredients. Would definitely stay there again. TIP book a table for dinner.
Rooms: Rooms, clean well equipped and plenty of hot water. Beds very comfy
Food and drinks: Food was delicious, all high quality and served by attentive and friendly staff

Visited for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Our booking was for 1700 which meant that our choice of a Sunday lunch was restricted due to the obvious popularity of the restaurant and diners having ate all the beef and lamb choices. My choice of steak pie with all the trimmings was excellent and the rest of my party were all satisfied with what they were served with. The restaurant was extremely busy and the staff worked hard to keep the diners happy. A mixture of family groups both with and without children in attendance meant there was a lively atmosphere all the time we were there.
Will visit again.

Food is fantastic here, didn?t stay at the pub (although they do have rooms) but was told about the food by a colleague and didn?t disappoint. Probably the best vegetarian meal I?ve eaten, great job!!!

I like the updated menu - the roasted cauliflower dish is a very good vegetarian option ?. The staff are always friendly and efficient - and I like the warm atmosphere of the decor (and the buzz of the crowd when it's busy ?)

Food only. We have visited this establishment for food several times over the last 2 years. 2 years ago I would review as excellent, however, now average I am afraid. Chicken Kiev used to be excellent with plenty of garlic sauce when you cut into it. Now its very dry. I think the chef must have changed over the last 12 months .

FOOD ONLY - I have to be brutally honest as this was such a disappointment. We have been here a handful of times, first time around 2 years ago, it was brilliant and every time since it has seem to get worse and worse. Safe to say this was the last chance we gave it and won?t be going back.
To start with, we were given a seat by the bar and the booth seat was absolutely filthy in food and mucky marks My husband actually stopped from sitting down and waited for someone to clean it. We also went with our baby and we asked for a highchair that was absolutely filthy. We cleaned ourselves with baby wipes and the state of the baby wipes was shocking. Safe to say, I didn?t put her in it and had her on my knee, the whole meal.
The vegetarian selection was absolutely Horrendous. We asked for a vegetarian Sunday dinner and the substitute for the meat was cauliflower cheese. But we couldn?t have the roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, or gravy. To say I was disappointed was an understatement.
My husband got the tuna steak, Maybe this is to our own preference but it came raw and my husband was quite shocked with that as it wasn?t written on the menu it would be served like that; In addition, he said it was absolutely flavourless.
We had a couple of sides with this such as cauliflower cheese and chips which both came out medium/cold.
I feel the menu is totally off, it is very expensive for what you get.
On a plus the Staff Were extremely kind and friendly. However, There were plenty of staff on and seemed to be standing around near our table with the restaurant not being very busy.
I never leave reviews and hate to leave these sort of ones if I ever do leave a review. However I hope this reaches the right person to be able to improve on these issues, as I will never forget the first time we went and had a lovely meal. Now I honestly wish I had gone to Mac Donald?s and had something from the drive thru at a fraction of the cost.
