Came for a funeral wake buffet, thanks to all the staff for their polite professional service, the buffet was absolutely wonderful, this made a very welcome end to what was a difficult day.

Too noisy big groups , so felt uncomfortable, also the fish pie was mostly all mash and watery , bit disappointing, dont think big groups work in the small room we were in .

Went here to see the Saturday entertainment and decided to eat prior to it beginning. Ordered two mains, Greek style kebabs and plain Margherita pizza. First the kebab, wife chose chicken tikka and tiger prawn as her two choices. Quality was good but only got 4 prawns and 4 pieces of chicken, bit of salad and nice feta cheese, small pot of hummus, scoop of tzatziki, reasonable portion of skinny fries and a flat bread. Whole dish was ok but nowhere near worth the £18.50 cost. Mark up must be over 200%. Now the pizza, this goes into my top 3 of worst ever pizzas I have encountered. They used fresh (or tinned, not sure) tomatoes on top of the base then mozzarella on top of that. The base was so soggy/slimy I couldn?t eat it. A small part of the crust was crispy - I suspect this was at the back of the oven - but the rest was chewy. I honestly don?t think it was cooked enough but couldn?t really tell as there was so much sloppy cheese and tomato on top. Anyway, most of my pizza was left on the plate. I told the waitress my thoughts when she collected the plates and she said sorry and would I like another. I declined I couldn?t face another. When the bill arrived there was no deduction for the pizza I couldn?t eat so I asked for some sort of reduction and I received 10% off the bill (£2.95). So basically I paid £8 for a pizza crust. I have had far better frozen pizza from supermarkets for a couple of quid. Certainly we will not be eating here again. Drinks were expensive too. The entertainment was good though.

Went here for Christmas dinner. The atmosphere and service was perfect, couldn?t complain about that. However, the food was not up to standard. Many people in our party ordered a traditional Christmas dinner, which had extremely burnt Yorkshire puddings. I myself ordered a Christmas burger and the meat was extremely dry, topped with rubbery cheese.Great little pub, great staff, and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately the food just wasn?t up to scratch.Parking: We parked at a parking lot round the corner as there wasn?t any space.Kid-friendliness: There were many children in our party and they enjoyed themselves. Other visitors weren?t rowdy or anything I?d keep my child away from. Staff were very polite and patient with them.

Lovely pub & restaurant with a great team front of house. It benefits from being on the outskirts of the overly busy town centre and is certainly worth the extra few yards walk to visit.A good selection of ales on tap plus many gins, spirits, and wine. The menu offers a good selection across all courses, and the food never fails to delight - well designed, cooked, and presented.Visited mid-afternoon, so it was quiet but we enjoyed a fine meal. We'll be back quite soon!Vegetarian options: Available - sound good!Parking: Reasonably sized car park beside the pub.Wheelchair accessibility: Level access from car park.
