Hard to rate it really as it's barely ever open. I've heard a few not so great things from people who've gone there but as for my visit there.... Impossible.
I was local to the area for a while and went by this pub many many many many many (plus many more many's) times. Never open in the day, I've never seen anyone in the beer garden (it doesn't look like anyone has for years) and have only ever seen it open sometimes after 6pm. According to their Google opening times, that's when they open but it's not always the case.
It doesn't look very inviting at all. Plenty of paint falling off and it doesn't seem well looked after. 3/5 food hygiene rating which I suppose isn't too bad.
So I guess there you have it. A pub that is in quite a built up area but for some strange reason only opens for supposedly 3 hours a day according to Google (6pm-9pm) but often doesn't so might be a wasted journey. No idea what the drinks are like (I doubt they sell many pints opening so infrequently, so unless they are pouring a lot of beer away, it may not be the freshest).
It's a strange one to me, perhaps the owners are happy with things as they are with low footfall and just making a few quid off meals (which from the photos on here don't look too bad) every other evening. A shame really as it's a pub not a restaurant (that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to do meals by the way) and with being in such a built up area, a lick of paint and consistent, longer opening times within the boundaries of their licence terms would turn it into a pretty decent pub and local asset.

Unfortunately I can't give a lower rating than 1 Star..
Booked in as a party of 16 and were met at the door by who we discovered to be the chef, in the face of a pensioner complaining we were late and the pre-ordered food was already cooked! Now, first of all - why on EARTH would a restaurant cook the food before the party arrives.. Who goes for food and immediately sits and eats?!
There was no time to talk, catch up with family and settle in before the food was on the table.
As for the food.. Well.. The carbonara had what seemed to be pieces of sandwich ham and was overall, unedible.
The lasagne was processed mush, the hunters chicken was more like a solid loaf or house brick and the salad consisted of a big lettuce leaf (whole), some onion, cucumber and tomato. On top of all this, the food was cold! The lager was poor - at least the cans of coke were nice!
The pub atmosphere was more akin to a mortuary!
I will say however that the waiting staff seemed lovely! Just an absolute shame to ruin a 21st Birthday party. Will certainly never be returning.

The best pub food I've ever had and my wife said the same. The pub was massive easily fitting over 100 people. The owners have been there for 47 years and they know how to cook a lovely meal, 3 drinks , 2 sides and 2 mains 34£. A must go and try for yourselves.
Parking: A very large car parking area to the side of the pub.
Wheelchair accessibility: All the ground is level from parking to and inside of the pub.
