Christine got an attitude problem. And she needs to take a chill pill. Giving me grief for ordering 2 pints of Guinness when she?s about to clock off.

During a trip back to the UK to visit family, my husband and his sisters wanted to actually see the inside of this pub, which they'd only visited as children, when they were confined to the gardens or the car, with the placatory lemonade and crisps...something quite common, way back in the 50's! What a pleasant surprise, it was, too. Evidently, established in the 1860's, it has retained its original wood carving and stained glass around the bar.....a refreshing change from so many modern, characterless places, these days. Having enjoyed a friendly welcome and a quiet drink during the afternoon and having been pleasantly surprised by the menu, we booked a table for dinner the same evening. Again, we were not disappointed. As vegetarians, we were impressed with the options available and all four meals were well cooked, attractively presented and all served at the same time. They served a very good house wine and all prices were extremely reasonable. In fact, the whole experience was far superior to the evening we'd spent at a hotel in a supposedly more 'upmarket' area, two nights before. Obviously, it's unlikely that we will be returning, until perhaps next year, but the rest of the family certainly intends to.

Having worked in hospitality most of my working life I was very disappointed with the service and quality of food. We were put in the back cold room although there was a fire in the corner of the room which was not throwing out much heat at all unless you were sittin on top of it, there was no atmosphere in there like music so we had to ask for this to be turned on, we then received our food which some of them were cold or just warm as they were served on freezing cold plates which is a no no, most if not all that was served was frozen food and quite frankly not very tasty , a rough estimate on what was spent there would be around £500 on the night as it was £24 per head for 3 course and £16 just for the main course. Quite frankly for the quality of food and service we received I find the price extortionate in all my years of catering for thousands of Xmas parties I would have been out of business for giving such bad service and poor cheap quality food.it goes without saying I would not be returning to this pub again.

One of the rudest people I have ever met. Dirty looks and sly comments. Male member of staff obviously drunk, playing pool, swearing at the customers, serving himself. Toilets full of frequent drug users.

We visited this establishment with a view to having Sunday lunch. I ordered a second pint of bitter, price £3.60, and was told there was a £5 minimum for card payment: there was nothing displayed with such information. My first thought was to say we wished to eat, and add food to the bill, but then this was behaviour I was not willing to accept. I ordered something small to take us to the minimum, finished our drinks and walked out. They lost the value of our food order, plus future business we might have given them. There's no room for this sort of penny-pinching in these times, when folk expect good service and value for their hard-earned money.

Called in for lunch after not going for a couple of years. The food was hot, tasty and the portion size, bigger than normal. Good selection of dishes and specials to suit all tastes. Will definitely be going back again.

Ordered chicken curry rice and naan bread £7.95, the naan was nice, chicken was covered in a tin of chopped tomatoes then pieces of chicken stirred in,arrived at the table with tomato juice dripping over side of the plate, I wish I had taken a picture as when I complained I was told that it definitely wasn't tinned tomatoes, got refunded £4.00 but still not very professional to argue with the customer, won't be recommending or using the bush silverdale again, 1 out of 10 for service

We had our wedding reception here yesterday, this place exceeded our expectations, beautifully presented pub, the buffet we had really was fantastic, real good quality and super fresh. The atmosphere was brilliant a bit music and a karaoke (for those who endulge) combined with good company and absolutely fantastic service made our special day extra special. Its been a long time since I have experienced such great hospitality. If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate something you won't go wrong here.
